 Sriperumbudur: a painful memory, now a technology hub - Printer Friendly Page - Sci/Tech - Telugu Portal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Sriperumbudur (Tamil Nadu), Nov 6 (IANS) Fifteen years after that fateful Tuesday when former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi fell to a lurking assassin, Sriperumbudur has transformed into a technology hub with the biggest global names like Nokia, Flextronics and Hyundai setting up shop here.
Set among rice fields and wetlands, sleepy Sriperumbudur jumped on to the world map that night May 21, 1991, with the assassination here of Rajiv Gandhi, who many at that time thought was the future of India.
He said that Sriperumbudur should become a high-tech manufacturing "center for modern technology and science" and that this was the right way for India to pay tribute to Rajiv Gandhi and his dream of a modern India.

 India Today Cover Story [The Blossoming of Sonia]
Sonia hit the campaign trail at Sriperumbudur on January 11, and by the time she arrived in Bangalore on January 15, the change was all too apparent.
In Sriperumbudur, it was a nervous, stiff, perspiring Sonia, overcome by stage fright and looking to daughter Priyanka for moral support, who hesitantly greeted the indifferent 10,000-strong crowd; four days later, before a gathering of some 80,000 in Bangalore, it was a purposeful and aggressive Sonia who trumpeted the Congress.
If in Sriperumbudur she constantly whispered into Priyanka's ear, in Bangalore she was more interested in establishing a rapport with the crowds who whistled in delight, even when state Congress chief Dharam Singh tried talking to her.
