What's new

Is a civil war about to commence in South India?

Nonsense.

If you have no clue you should not talk.

Do you know what Rakshasas mean?

Rakshasa is the name given to the cannibal tribes that lived in ancient Indian subcontinent.

You trying to equate Dravidians to Rakshasas is not only laughable but highly objectionable for me and my dravidian community at large.

The Rakshasas were all non-Aryan and you tell me who used to dwell in these lands before the arrival of the Aryans. They massacred all the Rakshasas (i.e. Dravidians) labeling them as evil demons as depicted in different mythologies like Mahabharata or Ramayana and restricted them to the South of Vindya.

There is enough influence of this Rakshasa concept on South Indian culture, Bannada Vesha for example. Why do you think the character of Ravana belonged to South and not North?

Pakistanis , stay away from India and Hinduism , Ravan Doesnt belong to Tamil nadu or Karnataka.. He belongs to Sri lanka and he was not rakshas , he was Shiva's devotee ..the only thing he did wrong was kidnapping sita, then also he didnt even touch sita..and Ravana is incarnation of Vishnu dwarapalaka Jaya ( or Vijaya, i dont know exactly).....
Ps :- You pakistanis worry about your Allah not Ram or Ravan...

Shut up stupid.

Especially when majority of the community is against it.




I can confidently say that no practicing Hindu woman would pay a visit even though the court has termed it legal.
This was pretty much what was going to happen.
The ruling wouldn't have changed much since an overwhelming majority of the devotees never wished for a change anyway. Even with the court order, I think most female devotees were content with just not going to the temple.
The problem started when the Kerala government made the mistake of jumping the gun, wrongly assuming female devotees wanted to visit the temple and started making preparations in advance. Even though it might not have been their intention, they kinda sent the message that they're extremely partial and favors forceful integration of women in the temple.

Lol. Calm your tits people ain't no civil war happening .
Also, good ruling. Tradition can't be an excuse to deny equality..

This issue has nothing to do with gender equality.

This is what people end up when they try to apply Western logic to Hinduism.

Ravana Leela 1974: When Periyarists slayed Rama to protest Ram Leela

The Ravana Leela of 2016 in Chennai might have been a low-profile event. But the Ravana Leela of 1974 was a much talked about event, evoking response from the masses as well as the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. It is worth going through the pages of history to understand the politics behind what is happening today.

In 1974, a year after Periyar's death, Tamil Nadu witnessed its first Ravana Leela.

It took place in the grounds of Periyar Thidal, the headquarters of Dravidar Kazhagam, founded by Periyar, situated at Vepery, Chennai. Ravana Leela was presided over by Maniyammai, Periayar's wife who had taken over as the leader of Dravidar Kazhagam. There were incidents of burning Ramayana and Rama on a smaller scale in the state earlier.

The decision to conduct Ravana Leela was not a spontaneous one. In 1973, before his death, Periyar had mentioned in his personal notes that in response to the Ram Leela being conducted every year, a Ravana Leela in a similar fashion needs to be held in Tamil Nadu.

Later in 1974, before the Dussehra festival, letters from Maniyammai and K.Veeramani, general secretary of Dravidar Kazhagam were written to Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India asking her to stop the Ram Leela events.

“Your participation in the Ramlila burning the effigy of the great Dravidian hero Ravanan, is against all canons of secularism and highly provoking and insulting to millions of Davidians hence requesting you to desist from this dastardly act. Otherwise we Dravidians would be burning the effigies of Rama and you, on mass level throughout the length and breadth of Tamil Nadu,” said the letter written by Maniyammai.

Indira Gandhi then went ahead to participate in the Ram Leela celebrations that happened in Delhi.

Dravidar Kazhagam thus decided to go ahead with the Ravana Leela as announced earlier. There was a two-day conference organised at Periyar Thidal to commemorate the first death anniversary of Periyar on December 24 and the Ravana Leela to be held on December 25.

Sixty-nine-year-old advocate Duraisamy of Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam, who took part in the event remembers vividly how Ravana Leela unfolded at Periyar Thidal, Chennai. “On the day of the event, December 25, we had placed small effigies of Ram, Lakshman and Seetha on the stage and hid the bigger effigies behind Periyar statue. The police came in and confiscated the smaller effigies and left the place. After they left we burnt the well decorated bigger effigies of Ram which was 18 feet tall, 17-feet Lakshman and 16-feet Seetha ,” chuckles Duraisamy.

Soon after the event, Maniyammai, Duraisamy and 12 others were arrested and booked by the police. Though the lower court convicted all 12 of them, the sessions court acquitted them in 1976. The verdict established that, those involved in the event are not part of a banned organisation. It is proven that they did not perform Ravana Leela to hurt the sentiments of any community. Had anyone's sentiment been hurt, there would have been untoward incidents.

Can someone explain?

its a worry when Hindutva agents spread their lies here and it need to be addressed. If Ravanan was not considered a Rakshasa, then explain why Northie Hindus conduct and celebrate Ram Leela the slaying of Ravanan by Rama on Dussehra ?

There is no doubt in my mind, or the mind of any non-Hindu with an interest in this region and a clash of civilizations, that the Ramayana depicts some big shit going down between Vedic Hindus and their northern admixed tribes and thee Dravid forces that had already been pushed south.

Just as the Mahabharata depicts very closely the War of the Ten Kings, which is basically an internecine war between Vedic Hindus and their northern tribes and the eastern-most transition fringes of the Aryan Persians, at that time not long distant cleaved away from. The transitory phase between the Aryan break-up (apex big shit) and the full fledged northern Indian takeover.

What is your point?

Ravan was a proud brahmin how he became hero of dravida lol ?

Hinduism does not see things in absolutes.

The other day I was watching a Muslim judge say, How can your god have negative characteristics.

That is when I concluded that non-hindus can never understand Hinduism.

I'm actually fascinated by Sadhgurus explanation of the temple being for the occult.

Yes. The temple follows Tantric tradition.
