If a person wants to be remembered, he must do good deeds for the society, be selfless, live life with honesty and integrity blah blah blah ...all crap. All those things might bring an award and a title in his generation. Can't expect more than that. After two or three generations he will be mocked, insulted and will become a joker by the ordinary citizens. You need proof? Just check the opinions people hold on gandhi or nehru or Lincoln. If the expression " turning in the grave" is true, then we could attach turbines to their dead bodies and generate electricity. And what about the people who were called villains in their generation? It's likely that they might become heroes with two are three conspiracy theories attached to their stories defaming heroes of that time. Example is our beloved Hitler Still there are fans for Hitler . There might be cultural or religious or ideological reasons for the hero worship they get, but people forget that Hitler killed people in concentration camps. So, what happens after few generations? The dead guys are dead so we can't blame them for the change of public opinion after few generations. So the opinions take u turn in an attempt to prove that this generation is wiser than the old generation?

'Turning in the grave' may be true/false, the method of generating electricity may not be economical, if it is feasible.
But, Kundalam would be more economical in generating electricity despite fears by some in TN State that it would turn many to graves! :)
