I know there are multiple interpretations. Mine is based on interpretations by Hindu scholars like Vivekananda and Sivananda as well as neutral Western scholars. Not the kinds of Ralph TH Griffith or the modern day version of Griffith, Wendy Doniger. Anyway if I told him this on stage and...

Ok...I saw the video. He asks the same question that you asked (besides talking about mythologies), "What is Shiva Lingam"? Here's my answer: Shivlingam is a symbol of the Primordial Consciousness as per Shaivites. Hinduism considers the Universe to be a manifestation of the Primordial...

I disagree. Then again neither of us can prove each other. There have been numerous books disproving these guys. Even the Aryan-Dravidian theory has already been disproved by science. The theory had its origin in the imagination of German and French linguists and it died with proof from modern...

36 seats in 2004 with PMK and MDMK included. MDMK got 5 seats in 2004 even without the Eelam war. In 2009 MDMK got 1 seat. ADMK and PMK combine got 9. Political pragmatism won and there was no impact of the civil war on the election. In 2012 we know why DMK lost. 2G case. Oh...so you chose to...

Really? Why didn't he pull out of the center? Why did he ally with them again in the 2009 elections? And why did our proud Tamil people overwhelmingly vote for the very party that backstabbed them in 2009 elections? Where? Which scripture? Which verse says Tamils are Shudras?

What do you mean, did India care? Did Tamil nadu care first? How many people in TN that you knew felt outraged by the fishermen death? Remember the guy who was dragged in the sea with a noose around his neck by SL navy? If it had happened in Kerala all political parties would have become...

I lived in Tuticorin during the height of the SL civil war. I was one of those who protested about the Mullivaikkal massacre. I know for a fact that no one except a few on Facebook cared about the war. The day Mullivaikkal happened our Tamils were very much worried about the prospects of CSK...

Please do not speak for all Tamils. I am a Tamil and I have interacted so closely with all the so-called Tamil nationalists and I know what a fickle lot they are. No one in Tamilnadu supports any kind of separatist tendencies. Parochial we are, that I admit. But never anti-national except for a...

I have a friend in Bahrain whose name is Mohammed. He loves bacon, vodka and hookers. Do you see me having a name Moe.Loves.Hoes?

Read this before swallowing the secularist drumbeat about Haryana Khaps | IndiaFactsIndiaFacts However, I'd like to emphasize that I am strictly against any parallel judicial system that enforces its own writ upon any citizen of India, however benign it may be.

@magudi IMHO you are not even that good a troll. At times you make your trolling so obvious. And yet people here fall for you. I guess, your trolling efficiency should be judged by the effectiveness than by the quality. Take a bow, sir.

Oh...First it was none. And now it is only 10%. Where did you get that figure from? As @nForce said, at this point you are just arguing for the sake of argument. Just stop replying and save yourself from further embarassment, will ya?

You a grill?

From the link: “The number of infanticides of girls has substantially increased,” Kazmi says, a rise attributed to increased poverty. Girls are seen by most as a greater economic burden, that has to be ‘sold off’ with the help of a dowry.

Do all Pakistanis in this site have such a holier-than-thou attitude? Infanticide on the rise: 1,210 babies found dead in 2010, says Edhi - The Express Tribune

From the link: Maharashtra has highest GSDP among 33 Indian States and Union Territories. Maharashtra contributes 14.10% of total India's GDP with gross state domestic product around of 1,476,233 crore INR at current prices. India's most populated state Uttar Pradesh is at second position with...

There are certainly cultural reasons for the success of Maharashtra. A combination of Parsis and Gujarati businessmen is one. The same reason why neighboring Gujarat is a success too. For Tamilnadu the only greatest reason for success that I can think of is, Tamils rejected Congress in 1967 and...

It has more to do with splitting of the Nadar community votes, than the consolidation of Hindu votes. This is the sad reality of TN, a state that perceives itself to be progressive. No matter what you do, you can never remove the casteist feelings of Tamilians. You can only play with caste...
