ராபர்ட் கால்டுவெல்லின் தமிழ்ப் பணியைப் பெருமைப்படுத்தும் வகையில் அவரது 200வது ஆண்டு நிறைவு விழாவை அரசு விழாவாகக் கொண்டாட தமிழக அரசு உத்தரவிட்டுள்ளது. தமிழக அரசின் இந்த உத்தரவு நாட்டின் இறையாண்மைக்கும், ஒருமைப்பாட்டிற்கும், ஒற்றுமைக்கும், பண்பாட்டிற்கும் எதிரானது. அறிவியல், மொழியியல், வரலாறு, பண்பாடு என அனைத்து மட்டத்திலும் மிகத் தவறு என்று நிரூபிக்கப்பட்ட மோசடியான, ஆரிய-திராவிட இனவாதத்தின் தந்தை ராபர்ட் கால்டுவெல்.
கிறிஸ்துவ மதமாற்றத்திற்காக தமிழகம் வந்து தமிழ் படித்து, தமிழைத் திரித்து சூழ்ச்சி செய்து தமிழர்களைப் தமிழ்ப் பண்பாட்டிலிருந்து பிரித்தவரே இந்த ராபர்ட் கால்டுவெல். தமிழர் வரலாறு என்ற போர்வையில் சாதிச் சண்டைகளை ஊக்குவிக்கும் விதமாக இவர் எழுதிய பல கருத்துகள் ஆவணங்களாக எடுத்துக் கொள்ளப்பட்டு இன்றும் தீராத பிரச்னைகளாக நம் முன் தலைவிரித்தாடுகிறது. கமுதி வழக்கில் நாடார்கள் தீண்டத்தகாதவர்கள் என்று வெள்ளையர்கள் தீர்ப்பளித்ததற்கு இவரின் சமூக வரலாற்று ஆய்வே காரணமானது. இதன் விளைவாக தென்தமிழகத்தில் அதிக அளவில் வசிக்கும் நாடார்கள் பெருமளவில் மதம் மாற்றப்பட்டார்கள்.
கருணாநிதி நடத்திய செம்மொழி மாநாட்டில் தமிழைச் செம்மொழி என்று உணர்த்தியவர் கால்டுவெல் என்று அவர் அறிவித்தார். கால்டுவெல் தமிழை உயர்தனிச் செம்மொழியாக எங்கும் குறிப்பிடவில்லை. கால்டுவெல் செந்தமிழ், கொடும் தமிழ் என்று தமிழை இரண்டாகப் பிரித்துக் காட்டிய தொல்காப்பியத்தின் மரபை மட்டுமே சுட்டிக் காட்டினார். உலக வரிசையில் உயர்தனிச் செம்மொழியான ஐந்து மொழிகளுடன் கால்டுவெல் தமிழை அங்கீகரித்துச் சொல்லவில்லை. கால்டுவெல் எழுதிய ஒப்பிலணக்கன நூலில் ஹல்ல கன்னடா என்று, கொடும் கன்னடம், செம்மையான கன்னடம் என்ற கன்னட மரபையும் குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளார். இதன் அடிப்படையில் கன்னட மொழிக்கு முகவரி கொடுத்தவர் கால்டுவெல் என்று எந்த கன்னடக்காரர்களும் போற்றுவதில்லை.
தமிழர்களை மதமாற்றுவதற்கு அந்நிய கிறிஸ்துவ மதத்திற்கு சில அடையாளங்கள், பிம்பங்கள் தேவைப்பட்டது. அதற்காக மோசடியாக உருவாக்கப்பட்டவரே ராபர்ட் கால்டுவெல். தமிழுக்கும், தமிழ்ப் பண்பாட்டிற்க்கும் தேசிய ஒருமைப்பாட்டிற்கும் குந்தகம் விளைவித்த கால்டுவெல்லுக்கு விழா எடுப்பது தமிழருக்கும் தமிழினத்துக்குமே அவமானம். ஆகவே ஓட்டு அரசியலை ஒதுக்கிவைத்து, தமிழ்த் துரோகிகளுக்கு அங்கீகாரம் தரும் ஈனச் செயல்களை தமிழக அரசும், அரசியல் கட்சிகளும் கைவிடுமாறு வேத விஞ்ஞான ஆராய்ச்சி மையம் கேட்டுக் கொள்கிறது.

Madam, Now please tell me what differences between Jaya and karuna as both are trying to appease christians by glorifying the missionary man who was instrumental in converting many people in down south. Jaya will go ahead of karuna one step further to appease for outreaching the community.
No, it is not so. Karunanidhi started it all even last year on Caldwell anniversary. What JJ has done is to counter check it or else the biased media and public will make a saviour out of MK for upholding Caldwell. As long as MK is around, JJ is the only person available to put a tab on him. It is because of this the author of the article (Bala Gauthaman) is mild in his criticism. There is no direct attack on JJ.
JJ could have cancelled the whole thing. It shows she is still under the influence of the powerful Church. As I said earlier, leopards do not change their spots.Karuna and JJ are " ore kuttyal uriya mattigal".Sorry Madam Ji, No defense will wash here on her political opportunism. Nothing more and nothing less. She will do ANYTHING to counter MK and ethics and morals be damned. She has not changed.
I have copy pasted below the view from an individual in RM group discussion
"This is really shocking, particularly for those who have read Caldwell's book Christianity and Hinduism. He explicitly (but carefully) states that
Christianity is to the rest of the religions what mankind is to rest of the animals.
I am referring to the second page in the Part II of his book (Page 18 of the book). The exact sentences regarding comparing Christianity with the rest are as follows:
"Man's position in the world cannot fairly be determined if we describe him only by those physical qualities which he possesses in common with the rest of the animal creation...... . May I not carry out the parallel by affirming that as man is God's interpreter to nature, so Christianity is God's interpreter to nature, so Christianity is God's interpreter to man; and that what man is amongst the denizens of the forest and the field, and in the world of nature generally, that, and a great deal more, is Christianity amongst the religions and superstitions of the world? If compared with other religious fairly and in a truly scientific spirit it will be found that Christianity occupies not only the highest position, but a position perfectly unique".
Bishop Caldwell, one of the founding members of the 'Dravidian' ideology and who threw the seeds of hate and division amongst countless Indians.. now has a government sanctioned day

Dear Mr rk.
The world had come a long way since Caldwell. It seems you and the writer you are quoting are new readers to the issues around Caldwell and have a long to go to appraise yourself of the current trends and why things happen as they are, in the political war between MK and JJ .
As the above article says and also as told in the end of the news you have quoted, Caldwell is known for pushing the idea of Dravidianism. It is from him the Aryan- Dravidian divide had been developed all these years which was harvested well by Dravidian parties particularly Karunanidhi. It must be told here that ADMK is never and had never subscribed to Dravidianism as such but MGR stuck with the Dravidian name only to counter Karunanidhi. Everyone until Vijayakantha stuck with that name for name-sake or else karunanidhi will whip up passions that they are against Dravidian Tamils.
As such the real Dravidian parties in Tamilnadu are DK, DMK and MDMK (vaiko). If power and authority goes into the hands of these people, there is doom and vulnerable people like you would be brain washed by MK- leaning media.
The author of this article, Mr Gauthaman and I are like minded people in touch with each other and in having understood the basic evil and are contributing our mite in the way possible for us to stop MK surge. If you read the article carefully, the grouse is against promotion of Dravidian identity and Aryan- Dravidian divide and not missionary work.
Today you say missionary work, the name that pops up is Deivanayagam! Karunanidhi is in the forefront in promoting Deivanayagam and St Thomas Myth which is the tool for missionaries as far as TN is concerned. MK even supported a movie on St Thomas which was to have been played by none other than Rajinikanth! Read my old article on this here:
http://jayasreesaranathan.blogspot.in/2008/07/was-thirvalluvar-christian-karunanidhi.html
But see what JJ has done in this regard. She never promoted dubious elements like Deivanayagam. She did a very formidable thing to stop him which was not widely reported by the biased media, and therefore you don't know it.
On 23rd Feb 2014 at 6-30 PM, Deivanayagam was to have addressed a meeting to spread his agenda of Tamilar samayam, St Thomas role, Christianity as religion of ancient Tamils, Thiuruvalluvar as disciple of St Thomas etc etc. JJ govt refused permission for this meeting. If MK had been there he would have even graced that meeting. What JJ does on these issues are not publicized.
For your information Mr rk, TN VHP and RSS in TN have supported JJ in this elections. The RSS magazine 'Hindu mitran' carried the photo in its cover, of the meeting of TN VHP leader Vedantham with JJ at her residence on 21st April to lend support to her. There is no need for this magazine to have displayed that meeting in its cover, if not for the succinct support they have lent to JJ. If JJ is a monster working against Hinduism, as you people think, this magazine would not have given prominence to this meeting of the VHP leader.
There are many at the ground level who know the inner things happening. Today TN is receiving welcome showers. This formation of depression in the Bay is unusual at this time of the year. There is no explanation from meteorological dept on why or how this depression got formed.
But just a few days before the formation of the depression, Pujas and homas were done simultaneously in 100s of temples throughout TN under the orders of the JJ govt. The depression could perhaps be the result of these homas and pujas. JJ is a devout Hindu and is keen on promoting ancient wisdom and methods of Hinduism. Astrologically speaking the current dasa of her 10th lord which happens to be Jupiter posited in the 10th from the 10th house and in the star of Ketu which is posited in the 5th house of purva punya whose lord Venus is exalted in the 10th house which happens to be Pisces shows that she is at the level of a Gyani and continues to rise in her spiritual quotient. History will record her in best of terms about her.
Thank you Madam Ji for your kind response. Just a little disagreement here on this" If power and authority goes into the hands of these people, there is doom and vulnerable people like you would be brain washed by MK- leaning media"
The last thing for me would be " brain washed (of all people) by MK and Co!!". I credit myself as having some working cells in my cerebral cortex still and hopefully, would be able to differentiate propaganda from truth. With due respect,I still disagree with your view.
Dear Mr rk.
Please read the full sentence - 'MK -leaning' media. The media which is the source of the reports for many is MK leaning. I am saying that people like yourself have been brainwashed because you repeat the same accusations against JJ propagated by this MK leaning and biased media.
Dear Blogger Begum
Your desperate reactions and comments are so funny that could make even a very serious person laugh out loud. Depression at this time of the year is no so unusual as we have witnessed one such many times in the past. In my 30 years of existence in this planet earth, I have seen huge rains during agni nakshatram. What was unusual was the tsunami which devastated TN during 2004 and the heavy down pour which wreaked equal havoc during 2005! You know who ruled TN then. Why are you making a joker out of yourself by making such senseless & foolish comments? Also, don't forget, Jupiter is a Maha Badhaka for Mithuna Lagna and He is powerfully stationed in his Mool Trikona suffering Kendratipathya Dosha. Jupiter considers Mercury as its worst enemy next to Venus and also for her Chandra Lagna, Jupiter is Ashtamadhipathi. Wait for Jupiter to deliver Justice by giving huge blow to the arrogance and all the atrocities unleashed
Thanks
// For your information Mr rk, TN VHP and RSS in TN have supported JJ in this elections. The RSS magazine 'Hindu mitran' carried the photo in its cover, of the meeting of TN VHP leader Vedantham with JJ at her residence on 21st April to lend support to her
In the same issue the editor had written a lengthy editorial listing the dagers faced by the Nation by supporting regional parties which includes AIADMK also.
I fuly aggree with TG saranathan's comment in one of your recent article
// I am of the firm conviction that JJ is more selfish, arrogant, self centered, autocrat and morally corrupt than Modi. She should be placed where she deserves to be and not in New Delhi as PM or with powers to arm twist Central Government.//
//In the same issue the editor had written a lengthy editorial listing the dagers faced by the Nation by supporting regional parties which includes AIADMK also.//
Whatever was written inside, why did they project the meeting of VHP leader and JJ in the front cover and even wrote an article on it on the 2nd page itself after the editorial?
To the attention of Mr Srikrishna Sharma.
The data from Meteorological dept says that the present rains in TN happening in the first week of May is 1169% more than normal / average for this time of the year in TN. I cant recall a parallel to this in the past, in terms of direction of the rainfall. Nearly 30 years ago, cloud seeding was attempted but with no good results. That JJ Govt had resorted to Vedic solution this time is something I appreciate.
This period always coincides with Agni nakshatra days. Depression in the Bay of Bengal is a rarity in this part of the year. Also this rain is not part of pre-monsoon showers coming from south west monsoon. All these make this depression / cloud formation in the Bay at this time a rare phenomenon.
The homas and pujas for rainfall done simultaneously throughout TN should have been studied or observed with wind and cloud movement. Usually these pujas were done at the start of rainy season in July- August in various parts of India if there was an apprehension that rains until then were deficient. By then monsoon clouds would have been spread over the mainland India and there is less scope to ascertain whether the pujas played a role in attracting rains.
But in the present topic, the pujas and homas done across a larger area at a time when temperatures were peaking due to agni nakshatra, were followed by rains from unexpected direction. This needs to be studied. I missed checking out the weather maps during this time as I was busy with other works.
In the case of Athirathram homa done once in 12 years, the timing will be such that Sun will be in Revathy star and the pre-monsoon clouds would already be there in the south west / Arabian sea. I was observing the weather maps at that time and wrote a blog on that. But the present pujas came later, when Sun was about to enter agni nakshatra. This is odd timing, but it had rained.
The crux of this issue is that JJ encourages and stands by Hindu / Vedic practices and leaves no stone unturned when it comes to welfare of the land, agriculture, irrigation etc.
// I am of the firm conviction that JJ is more selfish, arrogant, self centered, autocrat and morally corrupt than Modi. She should be placed where she deserves to be and not in New Delhi as PM or with powers to arm twist Central Government.//
I wonder how many readers commenting here have read my articles and comments properly. I have never asked for a role for JJ in the centre as PM. All that I have been saying is not to weaken her for that would mean allowing MK to sprout again.
Arm twisting the central govt was a thing of past - done well before a decade. Nowadays everyone knows the better recourse is to go to the courts. If JJ gets numbers to have a say in the centre, what does she have to do - other than asking for a complete full stop on dragging the Cauvery and Mullai periyar issue. Next in her agenda will be Kaccha theevu, which is also being dealt through the route of the court. She may put pressure on the centre in this issue which I, like many ordinary people wont consider as an arm twisting act. If it is arm twisting, let her do that.
On the court cases on her, she had handled them without being in the centre for well over a decade. There is no need to arm twist the centre at this juncture.
// What JJ has done is to counter check it or else the biased media and public will make a saviour out of MK for upholding Caldwell. As long as MK is around, JJ is the only person available to put a tab on him.//
This is what I am saying, both JJ & Karuna does same bad things (excepting a few). Hence they are "orey kuttaiyil ooriya mattaigal".
For some reasons, my comments did not go through.I respect your opinion Madam Ji but let me put my view on this once again in spite of the fact that you consider me " brain washed by Mk leaning media"
JJ is celebrating anti Hindu, Christian missionary Caldwell's anniversary. This, according to you is keep a check on MK. So, she has no qualms about using Christian agenda at the expense of Hindus, to keep a political oppent in check. Today it is MK. Tomorrow, it will be another X,Y or Z. This is called political opportunism ans she is nothing more than a political opportunist. Period. She will sell Hindu interests if it suits her political agenda. She had done it in the past with HH Sankarachariyar. She will do so in future. It is naive to believe otherwise. As I said earlier, Leopards and JJ don't change their spots. It is in their DNA.

I am not surprised when I see comments against JJ. But I am really surprised to find comments (including the salutation!) against you. Even in a family there can be difference of opinion but we all handle it in such a manner that no one is hurt. I am really hurt by the address - Dear Blogger Begum. Why such personal attacks provoking even a reader? This is very unfortunate. We all hold you in high esteem and this comment does not go well with the maturity of the blog reader/observer. Winning or losing is all in the game. Whether we like it or not, when the people like, prefer and select, one can do nothing. So let us wait till 16th May. With regard to rains in summer, surely it has to do with divine dispensation. I believe there can be no other better explanation. Thanks for this opportunity to interact. Regards
