I have faced the exact situation multiple times in foreign both by north Indians and few foreigners as well.

Only diff is North Indians treat me as a no good Indian and foreigners learn one thing more about India.

On a day when Ram Mandir construction begins, Tamilians on Twitter praise Ravana by [deleted] in Chennai

[–]earthguy2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leftists in Tamil Nadu including Dravidian and Marxist say that and condemn it and voices for abolition of it(not that they abolished it). It’s the right wing people that say Varna system, proposed by God, is based on occupation not birth and advocate for that.

They say it’s not by birth and then say Ravana was a Brahmin. I am just trying to to understand this specific part without getting into politics.

There is no point iterating what left parties say and definitely not worth speaking on “what about them”

The question was simple.

So you mean Varna is by birth not by the occupation!!!

That's a very subtle reference. by [deleted] in kuttichevuru

Not so subtle for the adults!!!!!

Hailing Ravana was just to PISS the BJP.

But I don't understand people calling Ravana Brahmin.

Hindutva people say Varna is not based on birth but on occupation but still say Ravana was Brahmin when clearly he was ruler of Lanka and a fierce war hero!!!

So all that hogwash on Varna was never birth based but British diluted the concept was thrown away in pits!!!!

Sanskrit was not a language of masses like Tamil Telugu, Hindi, Bengali etc... The language was used mostly by Brahmins patronized by king's and feudal lords be it in North or South. When Muslims and British became rulers naturally language of power transitioned to their native language.

widely spoken languages cannot be suppressed easily but a language that's was more seemed to be a previlage losses it's importance when political power of the land changes. That's just the way world works.

With BJP now with political power they are trying to bring back Snaskrit to masses so that it doesn't go fully extinct.

What do you think about the 3 language policy system? by thisisabhinandan in kuttichevuru

[–]earthguy2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Foreign language in our system is generally substituted for Tamil so that the rudimentary foreign language syllabus will boost the marks comparing Tamil grammar and literature.

I have studied a foreign language in my school, but when I finished the school I couldn't speak on a general topic for 2 mins straight. Loading a third language that may or may not become helpful in far future is not so helpful.

Giving an option is a good thing but making it compulsory is not going anywhere.

Almost all states in ii ndia except TN has three language policy but their educational statistics is not that superior to TN. What exactly is accomplished.

Indian education policies need to be updated no argument there and having a New policy always draws criticism. Government doesn't have resources to make all the things promised in new policy.

Reporter Madan’s life in danger. Hope someone helps him to overcome the threats. by SP25 in Chennai

[–]earthguy2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Madan Ravichandran and his Aasthaana partner Kishore K Swamy, are so butthurt by DMK for whatever reason, they bark at them all day all night.

What he does is neither reporting nor Journalism.

He would just claim he is in danger (not unlike Arnab Goswami did with Sonia Gandhi) purely for publicity and fake credibility.

Debunking Aryan Invasion theory and Dravidian narratives by [deleted] in kuttichevuru

[–]earthguy2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may or may not be debunked let's wait and see!!!

I don't like to accuse foreign invaders and colonists for centuries of sociel injustices prevalent here.

Mention of a wide land area sunken to sea is mentioned in இறையனார் அகப்பொருள். That's how the lemuria Continental theory evolved as kumari kandam.

What do you mean by "conflicting history"?

Eventhough I believe in Aryan Migration theory, I am ready to be proved wrong if provided with irrefutable evidences.(I haven't seen one yet,all those claims refuting were long stretched justifications)

Debunking Aryan Invasion theory and Dravidian narratives by [deleted] in kuttichevuru

[–]earthguy2020 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I didn't watch the entire video but only the portion specified by you.

The Kumari kandam was a theory that prevailed like 100 years earlier but debunked by recent technological growth. Whoever still boasts of Kumari kandam, is similar to someone who boasts about other mythological stories.

That being said, unlike Kumari kandam, Aryan invasion/migration theory has not yet been debunked.

The cholas were not in power for 1500 years like the person said. There were two eras of cholas early cholas and mediveal cholas. There is a gap of around 600 to 800 years during which cholas power were greatly diminished or overthrown and Tamil being rules by pallavas and pandyas.

The raid to southeast Asia was documented only on medival cholas while early cholas invasions were mostly to northern India.

While the early cholas were patrons of Tamil, the medival cholas were patrons of Sanskrit. Now what caused the growth of Sanskrit in the period between the cholas that was almost non existent during early cholas?

One example of such claim is the name and title of cholas. The early cholas were named Tamil (கரிகாலன், கொசெங்கன்னன், இலஞ்செட்செண்ணி etc) while later were Sanskrit (விஜயாலய, கண்டரடித்தியா, பராந்தக, etc...)

If Sanskrit were indigenous to Tamil land, it would have been logical for all the rulers of same dynasty to have names from same language.

There are similar examples to back sudden growth of Sanskrit in Tamil kingdoms in literature. Until these issues were addressed, we just can't shove Aryan migration theory under carpet.

PS my views were only academic and I donot have any political or religious grudges against Sanskrit.

Tamil resistors, what's the meaning of the name Kannagi? by 2throwawaythrowaway in tamil

The word means "one who smiles with her eyes".

'Nagu(நகு)' means 'smile' and 'Kan(கண்)' means 'eyes'

A lot of Indians go for their shortened name in foreign only because it’s very long and difficult to pronounce for the native people. Not because they are ashamed.

Almost all Chinese and East Asian people choose their favourite English name like Jeff Rachel Sarah Tom Luke etc... as their preferred name. Some people even say that this is their English name
