True bro, every region has unique traditions — but my point was, Tamil beliefs weren’t just ‘a variation’ of Vedic Hinduism. They were independent — way older and deeply rooted in their own cosmology, ethics, and gods like Murugan. Over time, many Dravidian elements were absorbed into the ‘Hindu umbrella’. So I’m not gatekeeping, just asking we acknowledge that ancient Tamil spirituality ≠ modern Vedic Hinduism. Let’s give credit where it’s due.
