The University of Madras has announced that the institution will offer a masters course in Kalaignar (Karunanidhi [ Images ]) Thoughts.

The course, which will commence from the next academic year, has sparked a debate over whether a state university can start a course based on the ideals and philosophy of a serving chief minister.

Tamil Nadu's well-known editor 'Cho' Ramaswamy has already described the move as the height of sycophancy.

Karunanidhi already has a TV channel, an award and a health insurance scheme named after him.
