With her passing the real J Jayalalitha can now stand up
Now that she is free from the bonds that she allowed to bind her
Now that she is one of the beyond, she can rest
Now that she is the most loved and derided person in TN politics
Her legacy in a strongly patriarchal society is something future women in politics can look up to for strength
Rest in peace for you have earned it.
3 full terms as CM and at the beginning of the fourth she has no equal in TN politics. In charisma only her mentor MGR was greater and he even won an election lying in an hospital in the US!!
Her 14+years as CM is only surpassed by M Karunanidhi with his 19years which at the end of her current term would have been eclipsed!
Her very heartfelt interview with simi garewal can be seen here

her wiki is here at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayalalithaa
The interview says it all. Contrast this interview with the one with Karan thapar where she had walk out and you will get a glimpse as to the person she was.
May her much maligned and tortured soul rest for she has earned it.
