I got curious and wanted to check Tolkappiyam because it is one of the accepted works in Tamil literature. This is the first paragraph in its English translation by Thiru (Dr) V. Murugan. first edition printed in 2000. V. Murugan garu opens his Introduction by saying "Tolkappiyam, a comprehe...... written by Tolkappiyar, dates back to at least a few centuries before the dawn of Christian era". (I personally prefer referring to as the Jesusism era). In the same opening paragraph, he says there are 240 references to earlier authorities. This has to be kept in mind. Now, the next question is the Brahminism of Tolkappiyar. Let us see what the book unfolds. Now, I will keep adding to this thread.

[Shepard (they/them) @N7_JaneShepard]

Brahminism arrived in South India around the same time as Christianity. In some parts, even Islam predates its arrival. The "Hinduism" we see today in the south is Brahminism colonizing the native deities and forms of worship, further reinforced under the British rule.

@crumbfried @bitcoinmalayali @chubbybirbster You don't have a choice now, do you?

Vande Mataram was the mantra on the lips of those revolutionaries who laid their lives for the freedom of their Motherland. It's a shame that our govt cut this tribute to pacify foreign cults. And happy this fascist govt is undoing this bs.

Malviya should take revenge against BJP for removing him as SM convenor by joining Congress and becoming their SM incharge.

Ackshually Western toilets are a form of neo-colonialism which subjugates the native Indians to individualism and loneliness. Contrastingly, traditional ways of open defecation in the fields is a community-building exercise which increases fraternity among participating members.

@stefdhrhsf @CivitasSameer Vedic people created the SSC (IVC for you folks), not the other way around. It can be argued that these vedic people moved westward, spreading their language family. So yes, Vedas were composed by IVC and Indo Aryans.

[Sameer Rao @CivitasSameer]

@stefdhrhsf IVC was Hindu. The ample proof found, and the denial of them by Dravidianists only further my claim.

[Yug @Yaduvanshi8999]

Defending Open Defecation. Woahhh. But I am not surprised.

Afterall, Toilet which saves annual household expenditure of ₹50,000 each year, save 60,000-70,000 infant lives annually is wrong as per a Trad mind. That's what Subramani Ji was doing.

I don’t know how smart you are - but that is literally one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.

India has two musical traditions -Hindustani and Carnatic- that date back more than 2000 years. Usually based on a raga is a melodic framework, which is very sophisticated even if not written down as a score.

As for “no Mozarts” - I’m sure you haven’t heard of Tansen, Khusrau, Tyagraja, Dikshitar and Tagore.
But your ignorance doesn’t mean that they didn’t exist!

P.S. Check out Indian classical music on Spotify. See you on the other side.

[Shanteehee @shanteehee]

Who needs Mozart when you have the Trinity?

@stefdhrhsf @CivitasSameer @desixbarbie Nope. Max Muller's fabrication of 1500BCE for the Vedas is bs.
