"How dare you talk about the North Indian domination? The fact is quite the reverse. For, it is the South that is now dominating over the North!" says Hon'ble C.Subramanian, the Finance Minister, and being also the Education Minister, he is ready with his reason.

It seems that, Iddili and Thosai, are now being liked by the North, very much. And because, of this, the South is able to establish its ascendency over the North.

For, when once the North gets into the habit of taking Iddilis and Thosais with of course the Chutni and Sambar, then it has to be at the beck and call of the South!

North may boast about its steel plants, coal mines' its dams and factories; but without Iddilis and Thosais, is life worth living? And the Finance Minister knows how to establish the Southern domination. Just at the moment when those at the North crave for Iddilis, the Minister would say, Oh! No! No more Indilis! What could they in the North do? They would come on their bended knees, beg of him—just two more Iddilis and a spoonful of chutni, minister dear! —they would plead, and that would be the proper time for the minister to present his demands! Those in the North would affix their signature at the dotted line! Take Bhakra, but please favour us with a dozen Iddilis! Give us but your tasty. 'Chutni', we are prepared to hand over Chitharanjan to you! They would offer anything—submit to any order issued by the minister for having tasted the Iddili with Chutni, how could they forget!

So, please do not talk high politics—Minister Subramanian has found out the best method for conquering the North.

A dozen Iddili stalls are enough!!

How fertile ought to be the brain of this minister of ours—and how very easily has he found out a solution for this vexed political problem!

Having been asked to speak before an audience interested in 'Hotels,' the Finance Minister, unfolded his unique discovery! It is the South that has established its domination over the North—through its Iddilis and Thosais!

People talk about decentralisation, provincial autonomy and such other political terms —forgetting this simple fact, that here is a minister, who is determined to establish the supremacy of the South by Iddilis and Thosais!!

Jai Iddili! Jai Thosai!! Jai, Chutni, Sambar and Subramaniam too!!

What all the Hon'ble minister has to do, is simply open a decent hotel in New Delhi! As Minister of Publicity, he knows how to push up such ventures. Subramania Vilas, Specialists in Iddili and Thosai.

or

Two Iddilis with Chutni, enough to make you forget inflation and impending crises.

We need not to suggest much —a hint is enough for the Publicity Minister. A decent Hotel at Delhi—and the Northerners would come to terms with the Finance Minister. He need not plead for more funds, and get a stiff, 'No' as the reply! What he has not been able to achieve through his arguments—he would achieve through Iddilis and Thosais.

We are awaiting to witness, with pardonable pride, the grand opening ceremony of

Subramania Vilas
at
New Delhi

When politics is so easy, why call for Conferences and Consultative Committees?
