A little knowledge is very dangerous. This comment perfectly suits yo. You have no knowledge of a stone and dare to calculate the greatness of a mountain. First learn Ramayan under the guidance of a well reverend Sadguru. Go through deeply afterthen you will be able to write any comment.

if there are many sadgurus in our country,they should visit places where caste conflicts have occurred and state emphatically that there is no superiority or inferiority based on birth. dont u agree?

so only Brahmins were blocking lower-caste entry into temples?. What about being banned from drinking water, what about being forced to live outside villages, what about being forced to work as labourers, what about two tumbler system. Everyone is responsible for oppression including Periyar's own caste, Chettiars, Nadars etc everyone abused and oppressed but I guess the only important point is entry into temple for you. So the solution is to paint a community as villain and carry on with abuse. Good strategy and it is same followed by Hitler with Jews blaming them for everything wrong in Germany he he and you guys think Periyar is a rationalist LOL

the dominant landed classes in cahoots with the brahmins who were the scriptural authorities had connived to suppress the people. no one is blaming the brahmins. there was not a single loss of life in the revolution of periyar. they chose rama because it was the god of the landed classes and the brahmins. they achieved their revolution. they released the people from the shackles of caste superiority and inferiority. the brahmins are well respected and they practise their religion with peace and people are even today drawn to brahmin rituals. if it were not for periyar,30 % of the oppressed people would still not be allowed into temples. if people are talking about hinduism being the majority religion,they should thank periyar,annadurai and karunanidhi. i can imagine how u would have opposed the entry of lower castes into temples in the 1940s. that is a normal human reaction.

I can imagine how you would have passionately advocated killing of Brahmins if you were in 1940s and were a follower of Periyar. I guess education has made you a better person coz back then you would have been as dumb as the illiterate Periyar LOL

Periyar himself belonged to a landed classes i never heard him heaping abuse on his own caste LOL, once again you harp on temple entry. Not a single loss of life was lost because Periyar was influenced by Gandhi and Brahmins should thank god for that else Periyars and his followers would have butchered Brahmins. As far as I know Brahmins had very little power apart from being able to read and write Sanskrit and some mathematical knowledge. There are very few prominent Brahmins even in Mahabharata and Ramayana and they are penniless and beg to make a living. Periyar's ideology is as bad as Hitler,Sinhalese ideology, Hutu leaders ideology which led to massacre of Tutsis in Rwanda. The only thing diffrent was Periyar was influenced by Gandhi. The whole point of Periyars ideology was to find a scapegoat and blame them, their intention was not to rid Hinduism of casteism. Even today Hindus in TN marry among same caste and I heard even converted Christians look for match with those who have converted from the same caste. There are more inter-caste marriages in North India and that will rid Hinduism of casteism, not this brand of rationalism.
