HOW TO SUBMIT AN ARTICLE
1. Please send your articles as an email attachment to editorSRR at gmail dot com
2. We must have your real name and contact information in your email for all submissions. You may prefer a pen-name (BRF handle) on informal articles, but SRR peer-reviewed articles must have real names and contact info.
4. Please pecify if you want the article sent out for anonymous peer review (SRR), or have the article discussed in the open BLOG at this stage, or both.
5. You may use Microsoft Word or LaTex, or simply a long text article in the email body for shorter ones.
6. BRM draft articles will usually appear as a link on the BLOG within a couple of days for user comments. SRR peer review drafts will appear likewise if the author so requests. Thanks!
Thanks for a great article. I would like to point out that verse 589 is notable for its "fault tolerance". The two rules:
1. spies do not know each other 2. Take the majority opinion of the three
ensures that even if one spy turns, the information is still reliable. This can infact be generalized to this tule: to tolerate N traitor-spies, the information needs to be collected from a total of 2N+1 spies that do not know each other.
The narration about Vasuki does not add any value to the article. In 21st century, the thought of a man bidding woman might not come off well, especially in an article that talks about War.
This article was written keeping in mind an international, non Indian crowd. Hence the mention of Vasuki to give a background information of the otherside, the spiritual life of Tiruvalluvar.
This article needs to be expanded on with comparative studies with other military strategists like Machiavelli, Zhukov, Napolean, Ho Chi Minh and Patton. I hope someone takes on the job.
Tirukural in my opinion is extremist, nationalistic and jingoistic nonsense. Tamil chauvinists from Periyar to that moron Annadurai to imbecile Karunanidhi venerate this literary abortion.
Other than Tamils this work has been dismissed in literary, intellectual and knowledgable circles.

Dear all,

Am a Tamil and a pure South Indian Aiyar.
