EVRN DID say that. He was a useless loser who blamed his failiures on Brahmins...

while we are on the subject of 'meet'ing 'veeNai's in songs, i thought
i'd point out that quite a few songs have had this concept. one that 
comes to mind immediately is from film 'thEneer', song 'sElai kodai
pidikka' where the male voice says:

	violinum peNNum onRE eNNik koLLamma
	oru muththam koduththadhum paadudhamma

of course, for the sake of those picky ones, i do admit veeNai and 
violin are completely different instruments................

talking about explicity(?!), how about t.rajendar's song 'oru ponmaanai
naan kaaNa' where there is a line:

	idaiyin pin puraththil irandu kudaththaik koNda
	pudhiya thamburaavai meettich chenRaaL

and do you remember the picturisation for this line??

check out the wording in the following song, esp lines with *:

	spb, jaanaki
	ilayaraajaa
	movie - some rajinikanth one (naan mahaan alla?)
	vairamuthu - i'm almost sure!

You have enlightened me again, Kathiravan ---

I wasn't aware that periyar's followers asked every brahmin they met whether
the individual considered himself superior based on his birth before ripping
off their threads.  

I guess you have also proven that most brahmins are stupid and have no
common sense - to answer YES to the question when facing a mob of Periyar
supporters.

Please publish this result in an international journal.  I would like to
claim that I know a famous person.

- raman rajagopalan

Oh.. In the meantime, you might find that children of rich people, 
powerful policitians, etc., may hold the view that they are superior to 
others based on THEIR birth.  Since there are likely to be members of all
castes who belong to this set,  what do you propose to do to them?  If you
decide to divest them of their riches as punishment, please send me a
share ... I am a poor student and could use the contribution.

     I should not follow up this kind of dirty crap.  So no comments about
Anand's natural way of speaking or your spontaneous rebuttal.

     But I would like to mention onething to you.  Why @@@@@ is laways applied
to Jeya alone.  Is it because she is a woman.  What about MGR or Karunanaithi.
I dont think anytime it was an issue.  It is absolute male chauvunism.

     I do not like capitalism, but I still appreciate the basic level of
decency the people expect from their leaders.  The people who don't talk length
and depth about 'kaRpu' etc are really very careful in keeping the elcted 
bodies clean because a person in public life should be very moral, otherwise 
his immoral character will lead to corruption, scandal etc.   But in our 
society we talk volumes about 'kaRpu', 'morals', 'culture' etc but are so 
hypocritc when it comes to the public life.   All our moral books can be burnt 
(simply because they are useless) because we dont practise or respect them.  We
talk too much and at the maximum we try to impose these things only on women.


     All my comments about Jeya remain the same.

     It was a quick conclusion by me because all the mails or postings
questioned my comments about Brahmins and they defended Brahmins.  So I came to
such a conclusion.  As you have you pointed now, I could be wrong.

     I seriously apologize for coming to such a conclusion.  Even if they are
all brahmins, it is not rational on my part to think so.   Once again my 
apologies if I have offended in doing so.  Thanks for correcting my mistake.

     My point is very simple.  We are all casteists and responsible for keeping
the castes alive.  So there is no point in blaming the caste based reservations
alone.  As long as castes are there, there will be people who will need 
reservations which will be misused by some other people.  Are we honest enough 
to do a self-analysis in stead of lamenting.  ????????

     I am ready to shut my mouth on this topic and discuss something useful
 only if others who talk about this without any self-analysis stop doing so.

Just hold it before you call someone a racist! I see nothing in the statement
that even suggests a racist or Aryan-supremacist leaning. As regards Periyar,
there is this statement that is quite commonly attributed to Periyar. He is 
supposed to have said something like "if you see a snake and a brahmin on the
road, kill the brahmin first". Of course he didn't use those words - he talked
about "pambu" (snake) and "paapan" (brahmin) - but it was *supposedly* something 
to that effect. 

Now, if Periyar really said that, could someone please explain to me why I 
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
shouldn't conclude that Periyar was a racist.

After seeing this, I took another glance of the article titles that were
posted in SCT in the past week. Some of them are:
[1] To all thinking individuals Re:The Fall (out) of Babri Masjid
[2] PURDUE: apartment for sublease Spring and Summer 93
[3] *** Apartment for Sub-lease Available At Georgia Tech. *****
[4]Babri Masjit Destroyed!!

Are these relevant to SCT and it's charter? [To the guys who posted
those articles: I'm not net police and you can post whatever you
want. I've picked your article titles just to show charter had been
violated and there was no protest at that time]

How can you decide that SCI is appropriate forum for that? Do you
have the charter for SCI? If you're really particular in posting only
relevant articles, how come you cross-posted your protest to SCI?
Before posting, you should have edited the newsgroup line and you
should have posted your follow-up only to SCT. Am I right?

Anyway, I agree that my posting is not relevant to SCT. Crossposting
doesn't waste bandwidth and I thought that posting meant for SCI
would evoke some fun if I crosspost to SCT. I may be wrong. I warn 
you, I'm not saying that all articles meant for SCI are to be
crossposted to SCT.

Keep up your good work and my best wishes for your attempt of making
SCT confined to its charter. If you need any help in achieving that,
feel free to contact me.
