X,Y,Z....

It is a common myth that X adapted Y's ideas to form his ideology and that he dedicated his most important work, Z, to Y. This is a common misconception which arose because of a letter from Y to Edward Aveling (who later became the lover of X's daughter, Eleanor) Aveling had written to Y about wanting to dedicate his book to him, but Y declined and Y's response became mixed with X's papers when Eleanor inherited her father's papers.

However, it is true that X respected Y's ideas greatly. X read Y's magnum opus and recognized its value in supporting his theory of class struggle. He even sent Y a personally inscribed copy of Z in 1873.

ENNA VACHU COMEDY KEEMEDY PANNALIYE ???

I have two videos here. The second one is from the Johnny Carson show and the first one is an updated version of the second, which first made its rounds around 2003. Apart from poking fun at presidents of the US, both of them are based on and pay tribute to a legendary comic routine. Without actually going on to any of the Youtube pages, can you tell me the name of the original act and the guys who first performed it?

INDIA ........

 X is the son of the Hindu Raja of the Kingdom of Bundelkund in India, and also a descendant of the Muslim Sultan Fateh Ali Tipu of the Kingdom of Mysore in India. He was deeply antagonistic to the British Empire, due to its conquest of India. After the bloody Indian Rebellion of 1857, one of the most devastating wars of the Victorian Era, in which he lost his family and his kingdom, he devoted himself to scientific research and developed an advanced submarine, the Y. X and Y?

JAPAN'IN "X" PATRI ORU KADHAI ....

Just tell me the sport being described below.


Bicycle racing in Japan started in 1898, and on that evening, "gaudy ladies from the red-light quarters came together to the racing site and presented a grand spectacle which was more impressive than the competition itself". X is a Japanese social institution which compares most closely with greyhound racing in the west and is probably is the cheapest form of entertainment you can find in Japan. Five minutes before the start of each race the music starts. The music increases in volume and the lights around the 'fighting gate' come on - a blaze of neon! Out come the riders - they look like extras from a Japanese cartoon - bright colours and lots of padding. They start slowly with little jockeying for position until the pacer goes off and then all hell breaks loose. The races typically require photo finishes and after the finish the old men watch the TV screens intently to see if they've won while the riders circle the track once and ride back in through the 'fighting gate' to their little hotel.
