Do you support Thirumavalavan in the recent Manusmriti controversy?

 Short Answer:

Thirumavalavan is a Dalit leader in Tamil Nadu.

Manu is written in Sanskrit.Manu will not be applicable south of Vindhyas.

Ambedkar is a Maharashtrian, and the way dalits treated there is not here in TN.

Thiruma has to tread his own path.

Thirumavalavan is a Dalit leader in Tamil Nadu.

Relatively Dalits are better of in Tamil Nadu than other states, especially Maharashtra.

But how a dalit leader, like Thirumavalavan make himself visible to the mass.

Maharashtra and Ambedkar comes in handy for him.

He is in the imaginary world, that everything happens elsewhere, he reacts as it is happening in Tamil Nadu. Better would be that he moves to Maharashtra or North India to make his work meaningful.

We will see the Myths he believe and impose on his followers:

Myth 1- Hinduism is dividing us into four varnas- Brahmins, Kashatriyas, Vaishyas and Sudras.

The truth is

#Manu is not applicable to South of Vindhyas. It is applicable to a country, South of Himalayas and North of Vindhyas.

#Ayyars and Ayyangars are Tamil priestly classes, with the respectable Tamil root “Ayya”.

They are like Bishops, Priests, Deacons.

Yes. They are like Lebbais.

Myth 2- Hinduism divide us by Caste

# Discrimination by race, ethnics and caste is worldwide phenomena. It will disappear slowly through education, urbanisation. Indian Government has implemented a tool in the form of reservation.

#Discrimination will again remain- as status by position, income, wealth etc and cannot be eliminated.

#Tamils are no exception divided by caste

- from A(yyar) to V(anniar) in Hinduism;

-RCs and CSIs in Christianity;

-Ravuththars, Maraikkayars, Lebbias in Islam.

Myth 3 - Ambedkar was a Buddhist.

Ambedkar, an intellectual leader of Maharashtra who drafted our constitution was a Hindu. He condemned certain discriminations in Hinduism and threatened to change his religion alongwith his followers. Many religions gave presentations. He found all are not like his expectation. 30 years passed. On the insistance of others, before couple of years before his death, he has taken few points of Buddhism and formed a new religion called “Neo Buddhuism

Thiruma clings on this and talks vulgar about Temples. Yes, he talked vulgar about his own religion without any proper understanding.

He also has his followers in film Industry, who blindly spread false information through films. They fool everyone including Rajinikanth but Dalits in TN are furious about the way, these Film Directors depict them in films.

Want an evidence. Here it is,

Many may not be knowing, “Asuran” is a film made out of “Sahitya Academy Novel - Vekkai” by Poomani, whose works are set in karisal bhoomi or the semi-arid and rain-fed regions of southern Tamil Nadu.

It is not the first time, the region has produced Tamil writers of Magnanimous height, it stands tall and even better than Bengali literary writers.

Unfortunately, they are misunderstood and twisted for dirty Dalit politics by Vetrimaran and Dhanush.

The novel is written 38 years ago and Film is taken in 2019. What the novel writer says that whatever has shown in the film would not have happened in 3 decades ago, forget about today.

1. Pallars have been living with dignity. Falling on one’s feet, even for respect, is not Tamil culture. Kudumbamars never do that.
2. Quote “In the film, Dhanush falls at the feet of every villager. He is also forced to carry chappals. Those are all different stories.
3. There are no panchami lands (lands reserved for Dalits) in our areas, as shown in the movie.
4. The film has retained the novel’s larger framework, but developed its own story. My friends advised me to keep quiet, because if I had said anything then, it would have embarrassed the film crew.” Unqoute
5. He quotes on The other changes made in the film “Even the cultural language of the novel has been changed. The book has sharp and short dialogues: those are missing in the film.
6. Many more characters are murdered in the film. And the film has murdered the novel.”Unquote
7. Quote “Vekkai is not a Dalit novel. It centres on the agony of a teenage boy and in my book I have not given the boy a caste identity. The idea of a Dalit identity is imported from Maharashtra.

It is shameful, considerable damage has already been by these leaders and victims are youngsters.

My view:

Taking cues from somewhere in North India and other states, Thirumavalavan exaggregate and form his own hypothesis to mislead the youngsters. Unfortunately youngsters do not discuss these with their last generation.
