Subject: Hypocracy.....in..

Hypocracy and ignorance in Tamil Nadu:

First of all, I would like to apologize for my remarks against the Vedas.
It was intended as pun for some(and apparently they took it well).  I
have no real intention to insult the Vedas.

But, I stand by what I've written on the BJP leaders. They are nothing
more than few religious zealots  with sights set on power who parade
themselves as semi-Gods!

now....,

There is a good reason why I ridiculed the Vedas. It is to expose the
hypocracy of many TN Tamils some of whom can easily fit the category of
'intellectual snobs'.  These are the complacent and the arrogant sort
who speak and and write as though they are the voice of most Tamils from
Tamil Nadu. In the process, they wittingly or unwittingly discredit the
Tamil culture as a whole.

These Tamils, admitting that the Vedas contain some faults, still defend it.
Why? Because, when the Vedas are taken in its entirety it still has its
role in the Hindu society my its apparent merit.  
Now, these 'intelectuals' are very quick to use these words to
stigmatize Tamils from Eelam: 'gun culture,' 'terrorists,' and 'LTTE
scums'.

Admittedly, the Tigers have made many mistakes. But, it is the emodiment
of our struggle to survive in identity whether you like it or not. In
its entirety LTTE organization,  and the Tamils it represents, has made
many possitive gains for us. The struggle has come a long way with it
share of  ups and downs.  But, the majority of the people are behind it!
Because, it is about dignity, pride and our birth right to live our
land. Some of you washed in the Tamil Nadu politics will never
understand the value of these things..as seen by Tamils across the sea. 
 If the arguments for defending the value of Vedas have any merit at
all,  LTTE should be judged in the same light. It should be taken in its
entirety for its positive results.  Prabakaran, already a legend among
us,  will go down in history with other historic names of the Tamil
kings, from both sides of Palk Straits.  
Now, one of these overburdened 'intellectuals' has referred to us us
'people from a different country who also speak Tami.'  What better way
show off his total lack of knowneldge of the Tamil history! But, he's
not the only one.  Just a straw in the hay. If many of these
'intellectuals' from Tamil Nadu have studied little more history and lot
less castism,  I wouldn't be writing this.  Historically and culturally
we are related. With some effort, 
anybody can suffice this.  Thanks to the short comings of the Indian
media(notably India Today) and overdose of 'speeches' vast majority of
TN Tamils still look at us through one-way looking glass.  We learned a
lot of the Tamil history and literature, esp that of India. I cannot say
the same for many in Tamil Nadu.  All these misunderstandings result
from this great gap of knowledge. 

Either you can educate yourselves and the people or continue to parade
your ignorance......

   Some time ago myself, selva, srini(ADAMI), paandian
and others were involved in the discussion of
literatures praising "sun". 
     silapathikaaram by iLankO starts with a praise
of moon, sun and rain. iLankO starts like this

"thingkaLaip pORRuthum! thingaLaip pORRuthum!-

kOvalan left kaNNagi for maathavi. iLango describes the

beautiful poetry.

 No anklets adorned her shapely feet. No girdle (mEkalaaparaNam) held
in the folds of the light plain garment wrapping her hips. No kungkumam
had been used to colour her breasts. She wore no jewels other than
the "mangala sutra".

  `cheer', as a single word, means glory. But, when one combines
the three words, `chiRiya',`adikaL',`aagi', he ends up with
`cheeradikaLaagi'. I agree with you that `cheeradigaLaaki' could
also be interpreted as `cheer + adigaL + aagi', but it is my
opinion that Kamban doesn't mean this. What I am saying is that
Kamban doesn't find SurppaNagai's walk as `glorious' but `cautious'.
[ That is, `cheer + adigaL + aagi' means glorious, whereas `chiRiya 
   + adigaL + aagi' means cautious ].
   I have seen you quoting Silappathigaaram in your recent postings
in this net. I quote a verse from Silambu for your interest. KOvalan
and KaNNagi leave for Madurai as KOvalan plans to recover his fortune
by trading again with KaNNagi's anklets as his capital. The poet
IlangO describes the act of KaNNagi's walk as
   ` vaNNach cheeradi maNmagaL aRindhilal.'
This is a beautiful line by iLangO. He says that maNmagaL, the ground
doesn't know KaNNagi's short, decorated feet as she has never stepped
on it, that is, she has never left her residence. ILangO's comparison
to ground as a woman is also interesting.

Fair enough, however it will be nice if you could provide some 
authoritative sources to verify cheran's claims. I am not saying that
you have to do that or that's your responsibility, its just that I find
the news that the IPKF kidnapped school children a bit shocking and would
like to verify this claim.

I feel making mention of such a claim without proper references might
mislead people into mistaking it as a truth.

Nice poems though.

  I would like to add that in tamizh culture, kaLavu
is also used in the context of relation between a man
and a woman. The pre-marital and extra-marital relationship
is referred to as "kaLavu". Proper marital relationship
falls in the so called "kaRpu" category.

e.g. kaLavu maNam.

	(1). Since another netter offered to post the articles from Kanavu

	poetry from the pseudo-leftists of TN are mere word jugglary filled with
	fancy words and unrealistic optimism. In the words of critics,

	film songs like,

		'naan aaNaiyittaal 
		 adhu nadanthu vittaal
	 	 ingu EzhaigaL 
		 vEdhanai padamaattar'.

	(3). Cheran is a son of a great Eelam Poet 'Mahakavi' (original
	name Uruthiramurthy). His first two poety collections 'yaman'
	and 'iraNdaavadhu cooriya udhayam' were published in Tamil Nadu in 80s.

	(4). In recen interview in subhamangaLa, writer Sujatha thinks
	that a great novel may be written in Eelam. His reason is that it 
	is possible only where the suffering is more.
