On August 1, Anna University in Chennai, is going to award honorary doctorate degree to Music Director Mr. A. R. Rahman, Chandrayan Project Director, Dr. Mayilsamy Annadurai, and Deputy Chief Minister of Tamilnadu, Mr. M. K. Stalin,
The reason given by the Anna University:
Mr. Rahman – He won 2 Oscar Awards.
Dr. Annadurai – He was responsible for sending Chandrayan to the moon.
Mr. Stalin – He built lot of flyovers in Chennai to tackle the traffic problem.
I can understand for Dr. Mylswamy Annadurai.
Mr. Rahman? You compose very nice music. You won 2 Oscar Awards. Do you deserve an honorary doctorate degree for that? Since you won 2 Oscar Awards, your rate for the next movie should go up. You got paid very very well for working on Slumdog Millionaire. I know you are a nice person who is very simple and unassuming. I have heard much better music from you than Slumdog Millionaire.
After having said all these things, OK I can understand for Mr. Rahman.
Mr. Stalin? If you are elected as a MLA and become a Minister and then Deputy Chief Minister because your father is the Chief Minister, do you deserve an honorary doctorate degree? Is it not your every day job as a Minister to take care of the traffic problems?
Lot of Indian VIPs are getting honorary doctorate degrees. But do they deserve it?
Do these universities get any prestige by honoring these types of people?
Movie stars like Shah Rukh Kahn and Amitabh Bachchan got honorary doctorate degree. Other than acting in commercial movies for huge amount of money, what are their qualifications?
Politicians like Sharad Pawar, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Karunanidhi, and Jayalalitha got honorary doctorate degree. I don’t have to explain their qualifications and achievements. At least, Jayalalitha has double qualification….actress and politician…..so she should get double doctorate degree. Ha ha ha ha.
Sonia Gandhi received her honorary doctorate degree last year. Can someone explain her qualification and achievement?
My question is: Do they all put “Dr.” in front of their names all the time? I know in Tamilnadu, it is a must. You have to address Mr. Karunanidhi as Doctor, Kalaignar (artist), Mudalvar (Chief Minister).. If you address him as Mr. Karunanidhi, you are in big trouble. You have to address Jayalalitha as Doctor, Puratchi Thalaivi (revolutionary leader), Amma (mother). If you address her as Miss. Jayalalitha, you are in big trouble.
I read couple of jokes in a magazine which I want to share:
We have a problem since our leader got an honorary doctorate degree.
What?
Our leader is wearing a stethoscope all the time.
We have a problem since our leader got an honorary doctorate degree.
What?
Our leader wants to operate on patients in the hospital.
Any one who thinks that he/she deserves an Honorary Doctorate Degree or want to have one so that he/she can put “Dr.” in front of his/her name, please apply to Cosmopolitan University in Miami, USA, and you will get one for a nominal fee:
