When Madhurai Vaidyanatha Iyer succeeded in his efforts<br /><br /><br />Ramanatha Iyer took away the Meenakshi in a “Arupa” Form and installed a statue in his village telling it is the original Meenakshi unpolluted by Harijans etc. Of course his efforts did not succeed thanks to Congress influence in those days.<br /><br /><br /><br />That Ramanathan Iyer had a son called Kalyanaraman who was a film producer [ plus heavy smoker/drinker etc]. He after marriage ran away from his house and “kept “one woman Pankajam and got a daughter through her called Mallika. In other words Kalyanaraman had a Chinna Vedu at the then Madras.<br /><br /><br />This Mallika married Mr Murosoli Maran. When Maran died the Children from the first wife of Kalyanasundaram –Mr Sampath ED at SPIC did religious rites—since Maran is in a way cousin to them<br /><br /> <br />So to cut short a long story, Karunanidhi ‘s Sambandhi namely Arupadhi Ramanatha Iyer was opposed to temple entry of Harijans and MK does not talk about it.<br /><br /> <br />I do not think that many in TN knows about these things! That is the way of the world.<br /><br /> <br />I wish someone does a detailed study and bring these facts to light through TV/Net media<br /><br /> <br />Thanks<br /><br />RVJayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-38126846425793789242010-12-08T11:33:33.250+05:302010-12-08T11:33:33.250+05:30THANKS TO THE STUPID AND DIVISIVE POLICY OF THE GO...THANKS TO THE STUPID AND DIVISIVE POLICY OF THE GOVT, WE ARE ALREADY DIVIDED ON THE BASIS OF CASTE, RELIGION AND STATE.BK Chowla,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03869011550287421537noreply@blogger.com
