I just ...I agree with Mr Ramanathan whole heartily. I just read the news now that TN govt is appealing against the acquittal of Kanachi Acharaya Ji. Where is the outcry from Hindus? Or from BJP? Amit Sha said sometime back that the arrest and the trail of Acharaya was politically motivated. Will the BJP have some spine now and call for demonstration against Jaya's govt? Or at least make some statement in supporting Kanchi Acharya? He is 80 years old and the last time, the fabricated case against Him went on for 14 years. Will Jaya take action against any Mullahs or Christian clergy in the same manner? Maddani, the Coimbatore Islamic bomber was treated like a Royal in the prison. Pedophile Christian clergy go scot free. As I said earlier, we are the mat that everyone walks over with impunity. I cannot blame unawareness on the part of Hindus for the present mess and denigration of our Dharma. It is absolute laziness, intrinsic Tamasic spirit, the root cause of our dhiminess. Majority of Hindus do not care for their religion. This is an irrefutable fact. Sometime, I feel like throwing in the towel and get on with my own life. I am ashamed of the cowardly Hindus, especially of TN.Dr Rama Krishnan https://www.blogger.com/profile/04495199378441276851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-69947026010312114892016-07-16T17:25:07.616+05:302016-07-16T17:25:07.616+05:30Dear Mr Ramanathan,
All around us we hear the sa...Dear Mr Ramanathan, <br /><br />All around us we hear the same thing that you have written. This shows what is required is not aggression but awareness. Awareness about these issues is the first step to shake up people from ignorance and slumber. Then comes aggressiveness. But in today's socio- political scenario, getting aggressive would not yield positive results for us. We will be only branded as fundamentalists. The entire media set-up and vested interests backed up by political class is so massive that we can not stand up to their might. In that scenario, judiciary is the only recourse. We must produce clever and courageous lawyers on the one side and writers of the same class on the other. Through SM and whatever source to convey, we have to spread this awareness. On the other side we have to have lawyers who have the mind to take up these cases and fight them out in the court of law. Subramanian Swamy could show some effect in this regard, but he is maverick and self centred. There are umpteen number of lawyers on the other side and none or a very few on our side to speak for us. So the solution that I can see is to produce more lawyers and writers to support our cause. My blogs are what I can do within my capability. <br /><br />Even the astika information that we write here and the kind of articles like the above one and the ones that you have written before (eg:- "Brazen attempt by a Christian Father to convert a Vedic scholar – reader Ramanathan recalls his horrible experience." http://jayasreesaranathan.blogspot.in/2012/12/brazen-attempt-by-christian-father-to.html) are well taken and circulated by readers. Using the SM what we are doing here is also a war on enemies of Dharma. <br /><br />Like yourself I am also finding the same talks in the physical environment around me. My only source of venting out my thoughts is my blog. Like minded people read them and reinforce their faith in their own like minded thoughts. At our level that is what we can achieve - of spreading and adding strength to others who think like us.

So what i was discussing includes and also goes much beyond the context of your post.<br /><br />I will quote one more discussion i had yesterday on this article with my aunts and other relatives. Everybody says "Vidu daa, Suryana paarthu naay kolacha suryanuka asingam? Mallaandu paduthu yechal tuppina tupparavan moonjila dhaan vandu vizhum". All useless platitude and hyperbole. Then the topic moved to Christian conversions, Islamic Jihad etc. I tried to impress upon them the dangers of these things to our society and the need to cultivate aggression. In return what i got was again a bunch of nonsense like "ahimsa paramo dharma", Tirukkurals extolling "Kollamai" etc. How do you think we should deal with these people?.R.Ramanathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842378468616200619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-55558474962788362912016-07-15T23:14:30.985+05:302016-07-15T23:14:30.985+05:30On Vasudhaiva Kutimbakam, I have already written a...On Vasudhaiva Kutimbakam, I have already written a post on August 2009 which can be read here:- http://jayasreesaranathan.blogspot.in/2009/08/vasudhaiva-kutumbakam-as-state-policy.htmlJayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-44152467508825220582016-07-15T23:13:00.363+05:302016-07-15T23:13:00.363+05:30Dear Mr Ramanathan,

Exceptions were Mr Gurumurthy and Cho Ramasamy. Perhaps among bloggers mine was the lone voice. While everyone of the MSM who hailed the judgement on the pretext of free speech added a Hindu fundamentalist colour to the opposing voices, I focused on the human right issue. The judge must answer whether it didn't harm the dignity of countless women of countless centuries who undertook that prayer.

I mean we should learn to be aggressive if needed. This kind of attitude is needed. Also we need a very deep knowledge of our scriptures. A real study of the original stuff. Not just study of some 2nd hand books written by people who just want to make a living out of it. Reading the Artha shastra of chanakya gives a very great insight as to how to practically confront enemies. Also Vishnu Sharma's Pancha Tantra is a good book. All these books show how knowledgeable ancient hindus were in statecraft and warfare in addition to having a deep knowledge of the Veda and its allied areas <br /><br />Going further, the situation and the laws are going to be more hostile to the Hindus. I for one surely do not believe in statements like the one's made by Dr Raghavan. We survived because we had tall leaders or kings like Chatrapati Shivaji, Krishna Devaraya, Vidyaranya who was a shankarcharya in the shringeri peetam, but was a great organizer and created the Vijaya Nagara kingdom etc etc. All of them understood the real dangers of the Abrahmism's and acted accordingly. Without these people we would be either be Christians or Muslims. Presently we do not have tall leaders like the one's i mentioned and all of them are morons who cannot be trusted<br /><br />So quaint thoughts like <b>"Hinduism is more than a religion - it is a way of life. Hence we will come over this too in a very short time."</b> have no meaning if we do not take charge of the situation now and act with military decisiveness.

Bharatha varsha extended from Iran to Cambodia . Now it is one third of what it was. All is not well and this need to be acknowledged. Hindu population is shrinking and this is an undeniable fact. Either we proactively do something to protect our dharma or face near certainty that by year 2050 there will not be anything to protect. I have heard this well meant though poorly thought out view that all will be well. History tells us otherwise.

It is in this mutual respect that you have peace in this country. If there is a sentiment that offends the sentiment of others, then the State or courts should intervene. "<br />This is not happening in India and will not happen any time soon. There is absolutely no respect to Hindu's sentiments for close to a century. Hindus do not even have control over their place of worship. I recently saw a video where the cops in boots beating the devotees in a temple. Where was the outrage? I repeat, no government or the courts will come to rescue Hindu's sentiments. The reason is because Hindus are docile and lack spine. Until and unless they take their issues and deal them with iron fists, nothing ever will change. Period. We all can sit quietly and continue living at the mercy every crook and rascals hoping that one day they all will turn around for better. Or take matters in own hands. This does not mean restoring to violence. How about a protest march for a starter? (I am not sitting and advising people what they should do because people in return will ask me what I have done except mouse clicking on the net. I have involved myself in the past, at least financially, to prevent conversion of Hindus and enabling few Christians returning to their mother religion. I also actively support Ekal Vidlaya's ruralschools financially.

Correct, but p...I can also interpret it as amoral.<br /><br />Correct, but provided there is a Krishna. You cannot equate a relationship between man and God and a relationship between man and woman.<br /><br />But Madhorubagan does the same thing. The child is “God given” and not that of the man you have sex with.<br /><br />I agree. But he has not ennobled the relationship. There is no Krishna. The novel trivialises the woman. It is not a God-given child. It is given by somebody. I would like the court to say both these things are same. God is in a different position. We may even criticise God. In fact, Rama is criticised for sending Sita to forest and for killing Vali. But Rama is God. Only in this country you have the right to criticise God. People are accepted as they are provided they are revered. There is no reverence of any kind in this novel. Do you equate a vagabond giving a child to Krishna?<br /><br />So you are essentially saying this is acceptable when a person if elevated to divine status, and not otherwise.<br /><br />Unless you say that the person donating the sperm is divine. But you are equating the sperm donors to those giving it in a laboratory. Sentiments are not dealt with logic. You cannot argue with a million people following a tradition that this is the logic. Where sentiment comes don’t bring in logic just as an intellectual. Man is partly emotional and partly sentimental. How much of your life can you rationally explain? When sentiment of the people is involved, logic has to be moderated.<br /><br />Should sentiments then be allowed to trump law and rights?<br /><br />No. It has not done any harm to you. I can understand if the sentiment is to kill a child of my neighbour to get a child for myself, then that is not acceptable since it is against the society. Here, I am just going to pray. You are giving an interpretation without facts. Why did Mr. Murugan not stand by his research? Why did he not continue with his stand that yes the novel is factual? So you are basically castigating people for their faith.<br /><br />Do you agree with the court’s observation that the society was more liberal in the older times?<br /><br />Let me ask you one thing: Are the courts liberal? Where was liberalism in the ADM Jabalpur case during the Emergency? [In that 1976 case, the Supreme Court ruled that no person can apply for habeas corpus during Emergency] I don’t think the courts could stand up and say we are liberal. You have never been liberal when you were supposed to be liberal. You are liberal when a liberal regime is there. When the regime is illiberal you have also been so. So I do not want to give a certificate to the courts that they are liberal.<br /><br />When do you think taking offence is okay and when is it not?<br /><br />A sentimental country also respects each other’s sentiments. It is in this mutual respect that you have peace in this country. If there is a sentiment that offends the sentiment of others, then the State or courts should intervene. When people are having their own life and beliefs and I don’t disturb others, then I feel they be allowed to live peacefully without interference. I think this judgment has not been delivered with proper briefing.Jayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-79504167402646556722016-07-13T23:39:56.052+05:302016-07-13T23:39:56.052+05:30There were lots of reviews and the book even got a...There were lots of reviews and the book even got awards.<br /><br />There might have been awards and public functions for the release. A book getting released has no meaning. The people did not act at that point because they did not know what was written in the book. I have personally interacted with people of that area. They said they came to know about the contents only later. If there was a political party or a leader, let’s say some one like Dr. Ramadoss, then we can allege orchestration. So definitely, it took sometime for the people to assemble in the absence of a visible community leadership.<br /><br />But isn’t that worse? That is what the court terms as a faceless mob.<br /><br />No. Only when it is faceless it means it is spontaneous. There was no Hardik Patel here. And it is not just one community that participated in the protests. Vellala Gounders and Dalits, including Arunthathiyars, agitated. Most of the newspapers have not reported on these facts and that it was a societal protest. What Perumal Murugan had basically written is that the so called vagabonds and untouchables indulge in sexual orgy. But the women of one community are hurt. Women are the pride of any community or family. We cannot deny this. We are not living in an Anglo-Saxon world. Here we live in a community and it has a certain value even constitutionally, and women are part of the community. Liberalism won’t stand if it ignores sentiments of the people. We cannot have liberalism at the cost of the people’s sentiments. Except hurting sentiments, this book has not achieved anything. These people have done nothing illegal. All that they have done is pray and this novel trivialises their belief.<br /><br />But the book makes a strong case against certain ideas of what constitutes womanhood and masculinity and the resultant effect on the people. In that way it served an important social cause.<br /><br />That could have been achieved without reference to this fictitious sexual orgy and without mentioning the place and the community. Why do you zero in on a place, a god, a particular community and a ritual?<br /><br />Maybe because he was from the community and it was immediate to him?<br /><br />Then you leave it to the community to decide what to do with the book. If I belong to the community I should have the right to trivialise it. Is this how the courts should look at this issue? By no standards of any jurisprudence is this judgment valid unless the women are heard. This fictional novel served no social purpose. In fact, you should be more careful when writing fiction. Fact is a defence against defamation. Fiction cannot be.<br /><br />Some could argue the popular morality you are alluding to is not consistent either. For example, how is the relationship between Lord Krishna and Gopis or between Draupadi and Pandavas acceptable but what happens in Madhorubagan is not? Will you support if the community seeks a ban on Bhagavatam?<br /><br />So long as you do not regard Bhagavatam as history, there is no problem.<br /><br />How do you regard it?<br /><br />That is what I am saying. Now you have classified it as mythology. There is no continuity of the community. So long as people do not associate with it and say these are my ancestors,….in fact ancestry is the most important.<br /><br />But the Yadavas do.<br /><br />Yes, they do. But the important thing is Yadavas do not reside in one place for them to defend themselves. Nobody says the Krishna-Gopi relationship is amoral because they are taken to be Bhaktas (devotees). The interpretation is also that.Jayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-23459766047255728622016-07-13T23:39:25.139+05:302016-07-13T23:39:25.139+05:30Mr Gurumurthy's interview to The Hindu on this...Mr Gurumurthy's interview to The Hindu on this issue is giving more clarity on how this issue should have been treated by the High Court. It is reproduced below.<br /><br />From <br />http://m.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/an-interview-with-noted-columnist-and-commentator-s-gurumurthy/article8831637.ece<br /><br />In defence of the opposition to ‘Madhorubhagan’<br />Updated: July 11, 2016 12:37 IST | Sruthisagar Yamunan<br /><br />Liberal sections of society have hailed the recent Madras High Court judgment upholding Tamil writer Perumal Murugan’s freedom of expression and ruling that the state cannot allow groups claiming to be offended by his novel Madhorubhagan to curtail his freedom in the name of maintaining law and order. However, noted columnist and commentator S. Gurumurthy has come out with a critique of the judgment, questioning its legal basis and logic. Sruthisagar Yamunan met him to understand why. Excerpts from his interview with Mr. Gurumurthy.<br /><br />What is your primary issue with the Perumal Murugan case verdict?<br /><br />The verdict is wrong on facts. Basically because the writer himself has said in his preface that he has confirmed what has written in the novel: that this practice was going on in Tiruchengode. His withdrawing this comment later does not make it fiction. How did the court come to the conclusion that this withdrawal makes it retroactively fiction? Under what law and under what precedent they are saying this I am not sure. The High Court has not given a proper rationale for why it accepted the argument that he now thinks it was not based on research. His was not just a fiction about a couple but an account of an allegedly prevalent practice.<br /><br />In essence, this means his characters were fictional but the structure was based on research. My view is he was wrong on facts.<br /><br />The second point is, the High Court has said this could be about any people anywhere. How did Tiruchengode come in? First, the Kongu community is around that area. Two, Mr. Murugan had drawn attention to the ritual of going around that rock. ‘Sami Kudutha Pillai’ (God-given child) is an existing adage there.<br /><br />Next, the Madhorubagan idol is on the book’s cover. A competent counsel was not employed to bring these facts to the notice of the court. The court needs assistance of branded counsels. But all of them were appearing for the liberals, writer and publisher. The person concerned had to be persuaded to come to court. All instrumentalities in India are being drawn into the vortex of liberalism, including courts. To take a position otherwise would be deemed illiberal. This overall thinking is affecting institutional independence. Women, the principal affected parties here, were not heard in this court. The court should have said we want some women of that area who practice this ritual to come and say what their opinion is. You charge them with carrying the illegitimate children of third parties but you don’t want to hear them. This judgment has created a huge misapprehension. It has to be withdrawn and the case reheard.<br /><br />One aspect you have not mentioned is how the court viewed the so-called outrage. It took place four years after the book was released. The court felt this was orchestrated. Should the court bow down to such faceless protests?<br /><br />Is there any evidence to say there was no outrage with knowledge of the contents of the book? That the book was released years back doesn’t mean they know about the contents of the book. Were there any popular reviews that discussed the controversial parts of the book in detail?<br />Jayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-51168531820844745382016-07-13T23:36:46.542+05:302016-07-13T23:36:46.542+05:30Dear Mr Ramanathan,

We need a combination of Brahma & kshatra like the famous Bhargava Rama AKA Parashurama, who could perform penance like a Brahmana and could slaughter his enemies ruthlessly like a Kshatriya.<br /><br />The Veda never says that one should totally not become angry and be a stone. In fact there is the manyu sukta in the Rig Veda which is a praise of the anger of Indra, Mitra and Varuna. Also there is the famous war hymn in the yajur veda called the "Aprathi ratha"(Occurring in 4th kanda 3rd anuvaka of the Taittriya Samhita). I would even recommend those among the Hindus who can, to learn these two and incessantly chant these 2 suktas. Enough of ahimsa, titiksha etc etc. These things lead to nowhere in this age.<br /><br />I pray that the Kshatriyas among the Hindus, regain their former might and Indra vritrahan give all Hindus courage both physical and mental.<br /><br /><b>"Udharshya magavan Aayudhanyutsatvanam maamakanam mahagumsi|<br />Udvrtrahan vajinamvajinam udratanam jayataam eetu goshaha"<br /><br />"Oh Magavan take up weapons and encourage us to greatness.<br />Rise Oh killer of vritra on your chariot yoked with the finest war horses. May we roar with victory(Jayataam eetu goshaha)"</b>R.Ramanathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842378468616200619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-73519426090489483332016-07-10T06:56:55.097+05:302016-07-10T06:56:55.097+05:30Hindus and their valuse are the mat that gets trod...Hindus and their valuse are the mat that gets troded by all and sundry. All in the name of freedom of expression. The fact as stated by Shri Gurumurthi is simple: the same judge and the liberals who celebrate this weird judgment, all went missing when Taslima Nasrin was hounded out of India. The selective outrage against their perceived sense of injustice against to freedom of speech only applies when it is Hinduism. They will not dare to say anything in defence of Hirshi Ali, Taslima Nasrin or Rushdie. They are COWARDS. Only alternative for Hindus is to become militant. As Krishna said, Dhanda got to be used when all else fails to protect Dharma. The judge in fact has done a favour to Hindus. Who knows, this might just be the trigger that hopefully ignite the docile Hindus into ACTION. My Thanks to Madam Ji and Shri Gurumurthy for their dharmic stand. We need more people like you both.Dr Rama Krishnan https://www.blogger.com/profile/04495199378441276851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-56775598411576131122016-07-09T14:35:17.377+05:302016-07-09T14:35:17.377+05:30வரலாற்றுச் சம்பவங்களைச் சுற்றி கற்பனைக் கதை புனையப...வரலாற்றுச் சம்பவங்களைச் சுற்றி கற்பனைக் கதை புனையப்படலாம். (உதாரணம் ஹே ராம் படம்). ஆனால் வரலாற்றுக் சம்பவங்களாகவே கற்பனை புனையப்படுவது தவறு. அதுவும் சமூகத்தின் ஒரு பிரிவினரை புண்படுத்துவதாக சம்பவங்களை அமைப்பது மிகப்பெரும் தவறு. எங்கோ ஓரிரண்டு இடங்களில் கதையில் குறிப்பிடப்பட்டுள்ள அத்தகைய நிகழ்வுகள் நடந்திருந்தாலும் அதையே அந்தச் சமூகத்தினரின் அடையாளமாகக் காட்ட முடியாது. மேலும், திரு பெருமாள் முருகனால் தகுந்த ஆதாரங்களைக் காட்ட முடியாததால் அவர் மன்னிப்பும் கேட்டுள்ளதால், பாதிக்கப்பட்டவர்களின் வேதனையையும் எதிர்ப்பையும் மனதில் கொண்டு அந்தப் புத்தகத்தை தடை செய்வதுதான் சரி. கருத்துச் சுதந்திரம் என்பது மற்றொருவரை புண்படுத்தும் விதமாக இருக்கக்கூடாது.Raghuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00898375309807817539noreply@blogger.com
