		<description>Ganapathy,
The non Brahmin Hindus of other states are believers in Hinduism and they object to it.These temples in TN belong to the Hindus in other states too.If politicians and their followers in TN doesnt believe ,it is their problem.They can aswell put periyar statue in their houses.</description>

		<description>In the vedantha philosophy, worship at a temple is considered to be an inferior path to god. The highest path being self realization. This is the path advocated for a "Gnani". Temples are meant to dispense knowledge and devotion to the masses. When the very same masses (97% of them) have no problem with the periyar statue, why are the brahmins who are suppossed to be gnanis raising a din about it?</description>

		<description>It is so ironic that Brahmins of Tamil Nadu, whom Vivekananda adored so much, are facing this brutality.
I wonder how people of Tamil Nadu are tollerating Karunanidhi and alikes. If not for peaceful Hindus, these devils would have been hung in public.</description>

		<description>According Mr Ramgo, four percent people in TN made the life of 96% miserable.How was it possible?This did not happen in AP and karnataka.How did it happen differently in neighbouring states?
Does the TN people love stupid stories,poems and movies more than truth?

Even now they are being made fools by likes of jayalalita and Karunanidhi.Story continues even after the so called evil brahmins ran away from the the state in big numbers.I think the TN people have to introspect and then move forward.They should kick the likes of jaya and karuna kind of people.</description>

		<description>Recently I read his writings and understand him much better than before.
I believe that Brahmins educated but foolish, cunning and laze people. They made the India so miserable and poor country. They destroyed Dravidian cultures and make them slaves by their stupid stories and poems. Still Tamils slave people under them.</description>

		<description>By the way, suba, do U know the real meaning of parpaan?

It means a person with foresight.

But as usual, EVR twisted it as is his wont &#38; brainwashed everyone into believing that it was a derogatory word.

The reason I told U is that U do not udnerstand tamil also apart from english. :-)</description>

		<description>Suba,

My deep regrets for Ur family tragedy. Coming back to the argument, EVR did not attack the negative points of the NB community. That is the main issue. If he had, the plight of dalits would have been different.

Anna's mentor was EVR. But do U know that after he split in 1949 &#38; formed in DMK, he did not meet EVR for the next 18 yrs i.e until after the 1967 election results? This has alos been reiterated by mu.ka in his interview recently to a tamil mag. 

Also, it is chronicled that after anna split with EVR, EVR teased &#38; taunted him in meetings calling them "kanneer thuligal" . Anna however did not retaliate.

The movie on Periyar has been praised by U understandably. It shows only the positive points of EVR. Bcos it was funded by the govt. For Ur information, the director Gnana rajasekaran is not a brahmin.

Too bad they have shown rajaji too many times. I thot they would have portrayed him as a villain. Atleast they had the decency not to distort the truth in his case. 

I have given the full text of the conversation between gandhi &#38; EVR which has in fact been taken from one of the DK mags. The conversation clearly shows that EVR was frank, no doubt, but also 1 more thing that U followers refuse to see - casteist.

U do not understand english, fine, now I find that tamil too is a problem with U. My sympathies.

Gandhi was no doubt a politician. It is remarkable that while one one hand U say review must be objective, Ur views on EVR has always been one sided. Why?

Whenever anything is posted +ve about him, it is a fact, but anything otherwise is distorted, twisted. Strange. 

Is that Ur paghutharivu?
Oh! I get it - it is EVR paghutharivu. It is different. :-)

I have attacked EVR based on evidences drawn from history which has been detailed in books, no hearsay.

I have not used filthy words like U did to put forth my points. Of course,. it is understandable since decency is the last thing one can expect from EVR or his supporters.

U say U met a lot of people , fortunately no brahmin &#38; the next moment U say U will be courteos &#38; treat them humanly. :-)

Steady, suba. U seem as confused as EVR was.

Get back &#38; start attacking. :-)</description>

		<description>smitha,

My travel was very nice thank you.... I did meet a quite a lot of people... fortunately.. none of them were a b.  :-)

Let's say that the whole Aryan Dravidian theory is false or true... no matter what... a b is a b and will act like one... 

It might be that I don't understand English.. but you have some issues with basic logic itself... 

Coming to your own point... you said... "I never said there are no aspects in brahmin community. I only said that EVR saw &#38; atatcked only the negative points in the b community."

I am also saying the same thing... and he not only attacked the negative points in the b community but also the nb community.... to bring people to light.... I am so excited that you helped me explain it in your own words :-)

While I was trying to find the post.. I saw a few things I missed earlier... about Anna winning the election and me trying to deny it or some nonsense like that.... May be you didn't know the fact that Anna always called Periyar his mentor... He knew the greatness in Periyar.

I watched the movie Periyar... it is one of the better movies in Tamil... It seems to be bits and pieces of history and lacks some continuity.... they never used the word Parpan in the whole movie to my surprise... as we all know Periyar used it often... Many scenes as far as I know are true.... Annoying parts were when they showed that Rajaji more times than needed... and two unwanted dances... I urge all of you people to watch it.... It was made by a Brahmin I heard.... I think Satyaraj did a wonderful job as an actor... Some understanding might happen to many of you... even if you all think it is a biased movie...

I am resuming my travel again and actually don't mind having a brahmin like smitha next to me on my flight trips.. so I can spend the hours arguing.... believe me... no matter how much I say against b's I will always be courteous and will treat them humanly... as I would any other humans 

Anyway... the only message I wanted to convey coming to this forum was that humans have to respect each other and be treated fairly.... 

Also, About those readings you cited..... any one could have twisted them anyway they wanted... And also many people know that Gandhi was a very good politician.... Periyar was frank and spoke his mind... and thus so many issues tagged along with him... 

We had a family tragedy today... cutting my travel short and I came to this forum for a distraction.... so, it will be a long while before I get back here...  keep attacking.... I will get back once I settle in my proper schedule...</description>
