RE:status of Dalits
by mudamosi on Sep 24, 2007 02:00 PM

valmiki who wrote valmik ramayanam was from a lower caste , so was vyasa who wrote Mahabharatam. Interestingly, the villian ravanan was a brahmin. This epic is revered by every hindu irrespective of caste. So think twice before you claim "Ravanan was a Tamil and brahmins are not tamils" in the same breathe.
