I won't be the fool ruining the convos you groom because you are the fool. I knew for long that this was a 'Breaking India'tard. (Check out my small attempt at dismantling Rajiv Malhotra here-> https://thethiravidiantruth.blogspot.com/2021/08/moron-smriti-of-rajiv-malhotra-should.html?m=1).
Do you know what's the sign of a mediocre/inferior mind?
It somehow arrives at some own or borrowed conclusions, and then refuses to change. In the face of counter arguments and proofs, it uses those proofs/args *to simply re-arrive at its existing conclusions*. An inability to see and absorb new things, and to fit them into your existing worldview.
I used to say many times that real anti-hindu, non-hindu breaking india forces do exist, but that they are not the causative agent of Dravidian movement, not it's momentum-giver. If you don't understand Dravidian movement, you won't understand those real Breaking-India forces as well.
I don't know know if Rajiv Malhotra was compromised to begin with, whether he was approached by vellala mafia to come with such a cover-up. Looking at his closeness with Nithyananda Pillai, I'm strongly inclined to think that's the case. I don't know if it's that or he's just the original fool. He doesn't even know tamil, for god's sake.
Opposing for the wrong reason = Supporting
Supporting for the wrong reason = Opposing
Opposing Dravidian Movement saying it's anti hindu = Supporting
Opposing all-caste priesthood because it is against agamas or religion or Brahmins = Supporting
Dravidian movement is simple. It was commissioned by the British and it started out as a force to quell the already weak freedom struggle of Brahmins in Congress.
Brahmin hate was already festering within vellala/Chettiar/balija quarters for a couple of decades so they gladly complied.
To understand their games, you have to understand nagarathar-vellalar mindset. That is the Dravidian mindset and worldview. That is what makes 'politics', which happens everywhere, into 'dravidian politics'. A thin layer. The other castes play along because it is a big legacy, and because it doesn't harm their power/benefit equation in any way.
Except for Brahmins of Tamil Country, nobody has the need or incentive to oppose Dravidian movement fully.
The anti-hindu trick of Chettiar-mudaliar-pillai (Dravidian) movement is ...
They are fully into this 'caste annihilation/equality' mode. So they supposedly oppose Hinduism inasmuch as it causes casteism and inequality. But how did they conclude that casteism sprung out of Hinduism? Neither Hinduism nor casteism exist independent of us. We are all Hindus. We are all caste system. It's not an external thing. But they externalize it. Why do you not attack that base? Thats where the game is. Chettiar-Mudaliar-Pillai
They equate Hinduism with brahminism with caste system. They say we are casteist because we are Hindus and that that Hinduism or casteism is just simply that of the Brahmins.
So, that opposition to Hinduism is a non-issue. They equate Hinduism with caste system/varnashrama with brahminism, and oppose it. It's basically just a defiance of brahmin superiority. But by constantly opposing it, they actually reinforce it, and that's the game too. They need brahminism, but on their terms. This is the key. And if we have any sense of shame, we refuse, not patch up, like you have been trying to do. The equation of Tamils/nagarathar-vellalar with Brahmins is never going to be the same ever again. They have spewed non-human levels of hate and malice for a hundred years and they have to reap what they sowed.
They need brahminism but brahmin hate as well. This is the Nagarathar-Vellalar (Dravidian) psychology. Brahminism was the substrate of many centuries. It was always there, even during the last 100 yrs. роЖрод்родிроХро╡ாродி.
The Brahmin hate part of #drav side, роиாрод்родிроХро╡ாродி, was a development in last century.

It's a non-issue. The reason why they keep saying "there is no hinduism/india" is...they want that 'hinduism'...all of it, but without the label alone. They have been imbibing it. The names of the aadhenams begin with "Thiru kailaya parambarai...". What's the problem with the label?
If they accept the 'hindu' label, they have to accept the superiority of Brahmins. Thats the sole problem. (Saivam/vainavam of the vellala soothra kuttis) minus (Hinduism) = (acceptance of brahmin superiority).
They had been ok with it for centuries. Why suddenly some problem?
The were ok with it as long as they had great privilege in tamil society. The supposed superiority of Brahmins didn't prick their eyes. But once they began losing privilege, which belonged to the feudal/agricultural times, the supposed superiority of Brahmins began to prick their eyes.
You need to understand vellala mindset. Chettiars can be seen as part of vellala subculture. Same attitudes.
When they say "we don't want Hinduism", they mean they want everything without the name because that would mean they accept superiority of Brahmins.
Saying "Hinduism is a colonial creation" is not to uproot from Hinduism and plant in Christianity, but to keep all that is in Hinduism without losing a drop, but becoming the topmost social group, using the local martial groups as validators. Maravar/kallar/udayar/agamudayar/goundar etc. That is not guaranteed, but that will definitely be a step towards legitimising vellala supremacy.
And neither is Stalin a vellala not are priests in tamil temples Brahmins. The vellala name for Thevar adiya caste was like some people calling fish as роХроЯро▓் ро╡ாро┤роХ்роХாроп் (sea banana). It's not an actual vellala. And the existing priests in tamil temples who are thought to be Brahmins are actually Saiva vellala sootha kuttis. Read my primer.
The existing priests are already Vellalas only but it doesn't contribute to vellala supremacy. They need to wear the cloak of 'brahmin' to get the prestige and it's not prestige for vellala tag. Saying "we are not hindus, we are Saiva/vainavam" is a wish for that. Who do you think will be the top social group in those sects? Them.
The LTTE never probably demanded for a separate state. Of what use what a separate state to them? The demand for eelam came from the Jaffna Vellalas. Vaddukoddai Resolution. Do you know why they asked this?
The Social Disabilities Act of SL govt limited vellala casteism. They wanted to have a free hand in oppressing the lower castes. Thats why they spoke and speak about federalism and secession.
TN nagarathar+vellalar spoke about caste eradication for a hundred years. But their whole worldview of caste eradication was just brahmin Hate. In truth, they are the most casteist of all. Factually, literally. They created no social justice. That happened by itself. They only cooked up an imagined social injustice and have been at it for a century.
The reason why they speak of regionalism/federalism and discarding 'hindu' identity is because the umbrella socio-political-religious identities empower the lower groups. This is their angst towards 'corporate' too. Modernism, corporate, unified entities are great levelers. Vellala supremacy needs local validators. They want a free hand in suppressing social mobility of lower groups. They have probably figured out a way to maneuver the dominant non-elite feudal groups, the kanganis.
The following are excerpts from Susan Bayly's book 'Saints, Goddesses and Kings...'.
The keyword here is "reallocate tokens of rank and precedence..."
Understand the vellala mindset. Without doing that, you won't understand Dravidian movt/propaganda.
