The most comical part of this affair is that yesterdays RAVANS who committed unimaginable atrocities on poor helpless, defenceless RAMS & banished them to economic, social ,political & religious Vanavasa for 1000s of years, are turning around and HEARTLESSLY calling these poor ostracised creatures as RAVANS. Man isn't the pot still calling the kettle black !!

Tamil Arasan: Did Periyar not preach that Ram and Ravan are fiction and not reality? Did he also not preach that castes do not exist and all men (& women) are equal?
But then, Mr. E.V. Ramasamy Naickar belied both in his very own name! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, eh?!
P.S: Interesting note on EVR. While he promoted anti-god sentiments in the Hindu community, little did he do to challenge the muslim and christian gods and beliefs. Talk about double standards too, eh!

BTW this discussion is about the quota system only. I wonder why Periyar is being dragged into it. Anyway you agree that ram & ravan were mythical figures only? Also the notion that periyar being anti-hindu is false. He was not against hindu religion or any religion for that matter. He was only against superstitions in Hindu religion and the way certain communities were using religion for their selfish ends. Otherwise how could Periyarism thrived in TN which has majority hindu population? Now don't turn around & start your tamils are banghees!!! tirade again!
