My nephew has been named "Kavin" which means 'beauty' in Tamil, here his
friends do not have any problem in calling him as it is close to the name
"Kevin".

 The following paragraph is culled for the book"Webster book of
word histories".
  In the Roman army soldiers were allowed a sum of money to buy
salt with,since salt was not always easily come by and was important 
for more than increasing the savor of food in the days before 
refrigeration. Later this money,called salarium, came to designate
simply the stipend or pension paid to the soldiers and still later to
payments made to officials of the empire. Salarium, the source of
of English salary, is a form of salarius, meaning 'of salt',from 
sal,'salt'. So if you are earning salary, you are presumably also
"worth your salt".

  Does this have connection with our "pazhamozhi" 
  "uppittavarai uLLaLavum ninai" ? As far as I know,
 "uppittavar" means "unavu koduththavar".

	I have used Dravidian within quotes deliberately - to show how

	owes its existence to the likes of Weber. That the Brahmins of

	that the Justice Party and the EVR crowd have found convenient
	to perpetuate. There is not an iota of evidence for any of this.
	
	On a related note, the link between Varna, Caste and Jati (or marriage

Hi Nettors


	When SCT was formed all of us (atleast I) thought
	it will be very differnt from SCI. In fact the
	temporary newsgroup ACT was very much according
	to our expectations. SCT was also good to begin
	with. But after that ...

	Now more than 75% articles are Reservation/
	Brahmi VS Non-Brahmin / Personal attacks etc.

	We have lost all the good articles that used
	to come in the beginning. No more SILEDAI,
	JOKES, BEST TAMIL NOVELS, NAANGAM TAMIL etc.

	If this trend continues I think SCT will be
	no better than SCI. We should (that includes
	me too) show some restraint in posting garbage.

	This is just my request. Please ignore this
	if you don't like this. Don't blame that
	I am dictating etc. Luckily I was not one
	of the PROPONENTS but just a supporter.

	I gave up reading SCI because of % of JUNK
	articles there. Now I am getting worried
	may be I have to do that with SCT also
	after some time. I hope that time is not
	in the near future.


	ONE FINAL NOTE :

	Nothing is going to improve by our
	discussions about RESERVATION / BRAHMIN VS OTHERS
	etc. Let us discuss things which are better
	and which doesn't spread hatred.

	In fact I notice that lot of people are keeping

	The traditiona 'kooththu' is very different from the fancy dramas
	of R.S. Manohar's. Manohar's drama are like the movies enacted
	as drama, with fancy sets, high tech light and sound etc.

	'kooththu' is a simple art form, with typical costumes, simple
	musical instruments etc. One of the important aspect of 'kooththu'
	is a participation of audience as players and a main character
	called 'kattiyankaaran' who acts as a link between the characters
	and the audience. This aspect is peculiar to Tamil folk art and
	is not there in Yakshagana and Kadhakkali. Another, important
	difference between Tamil Kooththu and other two is that the
	kooththu characters have to sing songs themselves, whereas in
	Kadhakkali and yakshagana, there is a Bhagavathar who sings
	in background and the characters have to do only lip movements,
	while acting.

	Kooththu is very inexpensive to arrange, compared to RSM dramas.
	It will not cost more thatn Rs. 1000 to arrange a full night 
	kooththu. About Rs.500 will be the fee and the rest for transport
	food and stage arrangements.

	I will write a detailed series in future on 'therukkooththu'.
	(I am committing too much, but try to keep it up).

The problem is LTTE shows more interest in killing innocent tamils, muslims and
sinhalese and terrorist activities like killing Amirdalingam,
Sireesabarathinam, Padmanabha, Rajiv Gandhi and others(the list is really huge)
than fighting Srilankan Army. Their "veeram" is not much different than that of

OK, here is my $0.02 on the 'hot' issue of reservation.

I am opposed to reservation because it is an unworkable and pseudo
soln. It creates another elite among the BC/SC/STs, who grab
all the benefits in the name of the socially oppressed people.
This system has a very harmful effect of taking away the pride
from the really deserving BC/SC/ST students who could have made it on 
their own. Most of the BC/SC/ST politicians are fairly well off and they know
that their children and their relatives will be the real beneficiaries
of the system, rather than the socially downtrodden who cause they
profess to espouse.

The fundamental problem confronting our society is that of improving schools.
Governments avoid this problem because they know this is not an easy
problem. Instead they take the easy way out in reserving seats in college
and higher education. Like most other easy solns it happens to be the 
wrong one. Most people who need reservations don't really 
get through the schools.

This is not to deny the existence social inequities. But reservation is a
pseudo and unworkable soln. The issue of quotas is one of the causes of 
turmoil in our neighbouring country, Sri lanka. If continued it will
land India in flames. Mandal issue is too fresh in every one's mind and
too serious to ignore.

I suddenly realized I had found the root cause of all the problems

for that ;-))

   Or towards anybody else.
2. I will *NOT* be responsible for any thread evolving over the
   reservation/brahminism/Periyar/caste affiliations of Adam and/or Eve.
