Neutrality warning
This text is more a personal essay than an encyclopedic article. Almost all of the unsourced judgemental statements try to put Mr. Vasan in the best possible light. I don't know anything about Mr. vasan and his olitics but this is definitely not an article I am expecting in an encyclopaedia. This is propaganda. --Zinnmann (talk) 16:55, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
