€All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten those little hands€€¦..Conviction of Amma J Jayalalithaa - perception analysis

Many politicians in Tamil Nadu have concluded that the political career of Amma J Jayalalithaa has come to an end. All such conclusions read like the utterances of the Lady Macbeth in William Shakespeare's famous drama €Macbeth'€¦..

€Wash your hands.
Put on your nightgown.
Look not so pale.€"I tell you yet again,
Banquo's buried; he cannot come out on's grave€.

But the same Lady Macbeth soon yells, repent and regret and uttered in soliloquy that

€Here's the smell of the blood still.
All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Oh, Oh, Oh!€

The message is clear to all those who attempt to crucify Amma, will soon regret.

The irony is that Amma J Jayalalithaa is as usual kind and graceful even to those who crucify her, because of the single reason that all those people are engaged in such an act are Tamilians. Amma love the people of Tamil Nadu, barring their political affiliations.

The day is not faraway that Amma J Jayalalithaa will resurge (resurrect) from the falsely foisted cases against her like how Jesus Christ who rose from the cross. The power of people in democracy is very high. People of Tamil Nadu worship and venerate Amma wholeheartedly. At the end of the day, only the sentiments and wishes of people will win and prevail.

The people of Tamil Nadu please listen to the voice of Ulysses, the poem of Lord Tennyson

€The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'T is not too late to seek a newer world€

Never loose hope and always remember, it is not the €will' of the law but only the €will' of the people have won and the question of who's €will' will win was there even for Portia in Merchant of Venice and it says€¦..

€so is the will of a living daughter curb'd by the will of a dead father€.

But destiny has proved that only the €will' (sentiments and wishes) of the living daughter should win not the €will' (the legal binding) and that is how Bassanio suited her at the end. Neither in history nor in mythology, the law or judiciary has ever won over sentiments of people. People are with Amma and will remain so. Amma is and will remain forever as €Chief Minister of People' and if not the State of Tamil Nadu.
