The article by Ms.Jayashree on the `Exploits of Pulli Raja` are true. But
one has to bear in mind that the points raised by Ms.Jayashree have been
propogated by long by various other campaigns. In spite of this, Tamilnadu
has the second largest AIDS infected population in India. If awareness has to
be created it has to be through such a `Shocking` and `blunt` messages and
not through niceties which appear as a lecture. Now with `Pulli Raja` the
awareness has risen. Ofcourse it has created problems like children seeing
the messages, it being anti-feminist, etc. But in my opinion, fighting the
global war on HIV/AIDS is a far more important duty.
