  Anparae:

            soRkaLai ceriyaaka paarungaL.
Brahmanism is not brahmin and brahmin alone. 
neengaL thaan dravidian, brahmin yenRu pirikireerkaL.
You bring in karunanidhi and stalin for no reason.

  From you reply it appears you have antagonism against
common people (toiling people who were deprived
of everything just) coming up in life. 


    My father comes from the so-called "forward caste" in TN.
There was not even a high school near his
village. He had to cycle 25 kms to go to high school. he came
up in life branded "forward caste" because he was a "vellalan".
But he has regard for all the "good" that happened in TN after
Thandai. Periyaar, Kamaraajar and Annadurai, all of whom
sacrificed their whole life for the downtrodden. All the above
leaders died without earning a single penny. Tandai Periyaar
was born in a rich Naaicar family, (Naaicars originally came
from Andra). He did not even worry about getting into power.
To him language was not an issue at all. For him
country was the people in the country. That is why he concentrated
on getting the people out of the cunning "maze" of caste
system and irrational and false beliefs. he was one 
of the few true patriots. 
You have to feel proud that Periyaar comes from your
place.
Whatever respect we have
for Periyaar and Kamaraj will not dwindle by somebody
saying something pointless. 

      You say that,"it is not the irrational stupidity of
vedas which make the people hate Tamizhs."

It only shows that you are twisting points in arguments.
Tamils, even during the days of Siddhars always questioned
the stupidity of varNaic vedas. 
 Tamizhs have nothing
to with the varNa based vedas. TirukkuRaL is our vedam.
