hello gud even.everybody the Question Can the person with Mahadevan can be a Malayalee(Mallu)too. Yes he can as the south india generally adopts generally the Hindu God's names as persons names also, as it will help others to remember theGod also, by calling the person's name. So Mahadevan, the other name of Lord shiva--can be the same in Tamil and Malayalam as languages.
Secondly, the expression as a Tamilian is Russia's President is too long drawn out a conclusion. The new nominee there is Mr.Dimitry Medvedev is the traditional Slavic-Russian names as can be seen in the Russian Literary characters from the time of Pushkin to Anna Ahamatova. So this kind of explanation or exclamation as a Tamillian with the name Mahadevan is the same as a person in Russia with the name Medvedev is totally uncalled for and anachronistic also; especially when it comes to Tamilians, as they can be seen all over the world and indulges in all sorts of activities. Hence this request not to make such exclamations in future!!!!!!!!!!!!!
