Two recent
incidents of crime using revolvers in quick succession in and around Chennai
show gun culture is making headway in Tamil Nadu. The significance of real
estate business connections in these incidents cannot be ignored at a time when
‘land grabbing’ cases is hogging the headlines. People are shocked because they are brought up
on the myth that Tamil Nadu is an amaithy poonga (garden of peace) unlike
North Indian states like the UP or Bihar known for their gun culture.
