"""""dr karunanidhi and his leader periyar saved hinduism by achieving the entry of so called lower caste people into temples. they were not allowed into temples until 1940.
if it were not for leaders like periyar and karunanidhi,the lower castes would still not be allowed into temples. the entire population of lower castes would have become frustrated with hinduism and would have converted to other religions. periyar and karunanidhi gave shock treatment to hinduism and saved it.""""
you are bang on target dude. They are the ones who saved hinduism. Just ask one northie here if they even considered madurai meenakshi amman temple or other temples of the south to be holy? never. Thats a big never.
They would go head over heals with some islamic structure like monkey mahal or some qutib dump but never our south indian temples.

thats an aryan god.... thats why. besides thirupati does not have a rich architecture to boast and THAT would be soothing to their egos because if they ever where to see the magnificient meenakshi amman temple they would have a badly damaged ego there

KailiMuttu,
If Lord Venkateshwar is an Aryan God, then your Gods are Kushbu, MGR, Karunanidhi, E.S. Ramaswamy (Periar), Rajnikant etc. for whom you guys have built temples in Tamil Nadu - isn't it ? Well,, may those 'Gods' bless you....

Isn't Krishna and Rama and Vishnu not of fair skins? Isn't Tirupati Balaji and Lord Srinivas another manisfestation of Vishnu? Then why single out Rama by these ill informed Dravidians?

lo ab bhagwan bhi south india, north india ke alag alag ho gaye.. isiliye to sale kath-mullle jeet jate hain... Karunannidhi ne ladaya ... aur ladne ke liye tayaar ho gaye ye apas main.. Kaun nahin jata minakshi temple... Every person who go to madurai-masoor ...go to minakshi temple and worship there.. please don't spread this kind of things...

This development took place with time. there was no periyar in the north India, how come now dalits are allowed in teples in the north. Any sensible person will vouch for entry of Periyar or Karunanidhi.
