Sanjay,
You can read some of my comments to understand the undercurrents.But swift action was taken and peace was restored.These were ‘local’ incidents and prompt action was taken so that they remained local.

TN is a haven of peace because ‘everyone’ has accepted the ’social justice’ formulations.Everyone except a few like RC:)

) In a civilised country, permission is required to erect statues in public spaces. Permission is granted/not granted as per law. On what basis did “Activists” put up Periyar’s statue in front of the Srirangam temple? If they had done this illegally, the statue should have been brought down by the state. If done legally, then what was the provocation for damaging the statue? If Periyar’s acolytes couldn’t view the temple even as a historical (not religious) site, then why couldn’t the fans of the temple view the statue as that of yet another Tamil leader? Shows how unthinkingly polarised, at every level, the country really is.
ii) Periyar’s statue was damaged by some miscreants. Again, in a civilised country the law would’ve been involved & the guilty brought to book
iii) As violence erupts across the state against Hindu temples and Brahmins, the state and police are their usual emasculated self. The media is least interested.

Such is medieval India where the rule of law and justice have been discarded into the dustbins. There’s no confidence in the “justice” system and hence there’s tit-for-tat retaliation in a steady downward spiral towards nationwide medievalism! Unless the justice system is reformed, I don’t see any deceleration in our spiral.

Jai Ho?
Sanjay

Hi Chaps,
I learnt a lot about this dude called EVR in the insightful arguments between Smitha and Roja.Both of them tried to substantiate their point using published facts. The last mail to this blog was in the May of 2007. I wonder if their debate was conclusive. It would be interesting to know…

Cheers

I am glad that the tamil Dravidian pride has taken a beating in Sri Lanka. Only Malay & Sinhalese know how to make these Dravidian beg for mercy.

srinias,

Let the ppl of other states first take care of their own temples, protect the ganges from pollution and clean and regulate the holy city of Kasi. They can think oabt the temples of TN after that..

Jai Bhagavan,

O Hindus,

It is not something to be scared off, or to be shocked! This behaviour is present in all ages and at all times in the samsaar chakr.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

Yes, we should be ready to die, ready to have our head broken, our chest pierced with knives, have acid thrown on our face and burning fire poked into our eyes.

Yes, the moment a Hindu is ready for these horrors, he/she has become a “Veer”. He/She is no longer a coward. Once he/she is ready to lay down his life for the respect and honour of the deity, the Hindu is divine. That moment on, his/her career, health, finance, etc. etc. is no longer his/her worry.

It is also called Samarpan (surrender). The proof od this is given in the Vedic dictum “Dharamah Rakshati Rakshitah” Dharm protects those that protect the Dharm.

Come on Veer brothers and sisters, let us lay our lives for Bhagavan, and thus live forever in Bhagavan.

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.
