My Dear Fellow Hindus, Why Have You Lost Your True Religion?

[Vanamali]

You are being selective with definition of word and there is no need for other to conform to your narrow definition as it only projects your ignorance or bias

Dharma and Yudha are Sanskrit words - Aryan lingua franca and language of their scriptures.

Dharma has multiple meanings , the meaning depends on the context of the usage i.e law, religion , duty etc.
Dharma Yuddha - means religious war , Yuddha dharma means law of war etc , hope this helps

Desist from interpret when you don't know language. Dharma Yuddha mean war to protect Dharma, Yuddha dharma means dharma which a warrior has to follow. Dharma doesn't have equivalent word in English. Dharma doesn't mean religion. Math means religion.

Excellent my friend. Marathi has a real body of literature and culture, I have much respect for them....like I have for you Telugu folks ...that pleasant Latin of India.

Seen the latest news from west bengal? where the ruling government's cadre was beating opponents just for filing nominations in panchayat elections? Kolkata high court had to stay the elections. This is somehow not seen as an attempt to derail democracy.

By whom? Only by idiots like, oh, never mind, who want to create a straw man that they can knock down.

Any sensible person will condemn Didi by default.

Appreciated, Chief, but what is talayalam?

Turning a blind eye to crimes committed by self confessed champions of secularism isnt the way to ahead either. Your post was clear about what you wanted but no thanks People are not going to fall for this nonsense anymore. We dont need some secular cunt to rule us where our festivals will be postponed or restricted to please bunch of crybabies.

Nobody will fall for your dreadful laboured arguments, either. To blame somebody for not mentioning something in his dhobi list is really clutching at straws. Do you quote every single instance that you want to, or do you quote a representative sample? Your arguments are really dreadful, and your logic is singularly tired - quibbling to make a point that was never there.

I am sure even the BJP top brass is fed up of their underlings - imagine a guy like Piyush Goyal or Gadkari wanting to really do well for society and some joker like Satyapal Singh challenging Darwin's theory of evolution.

I personally feel the guy who will bring down the BJP will be Amit Shah.

You're being unfair and discriminatory. Look at the list of ministers; now tell me which of them is worth a bucket of warm spit (except these two and perhaps Suresh Prabhu).

But I do agree that Amit Shah does throw his (considerable) weight around.

@Nilgiri

Math? That means 'seminary' to me, unless this gentleman is being a rabid southie and transliterating the dental 't' as 'th'.

Could he possibly mean 'mat', as in 'Joto mat, toto path'?

 

[Nilgiri]

Appreciated, Chief, but what is talayalam?

Tamil + Malayalam I would think @SOUTHie

My great grandma (who raised my Dad and eldest Aunt) could only speak Malayalam well as native tongue....the Tamil was just mixed in...dad's whole family pretty much have persistent malayalam vocab to this day....causing much amusement for say my mom (she thought their word for coconut oil was castor oil, when she was new to that vocab for example...joked about a lot still)

This variant runs inside my family esp among elders....Cheras were very strong in my ancestral area during the formative times in my ancestral family tree I would think.

Aiyo! You're Palghat, are you? And here I am, giving you backchat without ever suspecting it!

Indeed hah, that palghat gap that connects Guruvayoor to Kongu-nad....is my progenitor cultural zone...Nilgiris just overlook it

Yup from Matha in Sanskrit. Normally I just say Mutt (unfortunate though it is with english word), and I use it for a particular religious school/stream etc within Hinduism.

If I have offended your eminence in the past, I beg your pardon.

My mother warned me in 1981, just before I shifted to Chennai into a new job, never to act fresh with two kinds of people - Palghat Iyers and Kumbakonam Iyengars. Just to make things clear, Hebbar Iyengars, the other kind of Mysore Iyengars, are nowhere near as lethal as their Kumbakonam kinfolk.

For the other word, I was hugely impressed by Vanamali's use of it for religion; after rejecting it mentally, I thought of options, and realised that it was pretty much the closest. Impressive.

And strangely no outrage from the professional outragers.

In fact baiter clowns like Prakash raaj, who incidentally ditched his first wife after their son died, is now the champion of secular selective outrages.

Just yesterday another rape of a 7 year old girl in a Madrassa in Kashmir by a muslim, there is ZERO protest on the street.
The Hindu on the street has seen through these fakes and that's why we are seeing the electoral shellacking on the seculars all over India.

 

[Nilgiri]

Palghat Iyers and Kumbakonam Iyengars.

Actually whole Tanjore area, the people there are quite haughty, prideful and cunning in demeanour....but as we say, they have somewhat earned that hah. They are blessed by the best stretch of the bountiful Kaveri river historically (you have to read some of the Sangam era poems to see the descriptions of Elephant driven millstones and irrigation). River folks (we call it Kaveri kurumbu) are like that everywhere more broadly (I suppose its why you Bengalis are so intelligent and I lock horns with you much hah)....Madurai has it somewhat too.

As for palghat iyers (and all proxies), I have little idea why we are like that too...maybe the great trade route of this gap acts very much like river too...but I suspect because lot of our gotra come from the more "hot" furious ones like Vishwamitra, Vashisht and Agastya.

But the laymen of this area are very much more humble than the river folk areas and some of best folks I have seen in south attitude wise....still to this day it has not changed all that much thankfully....to all our benefit.

The synthesis is really shown under the Mysore kingdom where the great monarch (Wodeyar IV) correctly saw where the best no nonsense labour source is for his ambitious projects.

Hebbar Iyengars

Love their cuisine and pleasant demeanour overall hah. Maddur vadai is always something I stop over to have when im sojourning between Bangalore and Mysore.

Palakkad Brahmins speak Tamil mixed with Malayalam which people tease as talayalam.

A Young Girl’s Rape in India Becomes a Crisis for Modi

Politicians have resigned, the Supreme Court has stepped in and opposition leaders are trying to push the prime minister into a corner.

nytimes.com

Man mohan Singh was (by nature) calm & introvert.

This Modi on the contrary is silent, blind, lame, deaf & dumb.

We have to become like that for survival amoung royal courts, our ancestors working for royals made us shrewd , diplomatic and furious traits of royals. If you see Niyogi Brahmins of Andhra you will find all above traits. Regarding gothras, except for Jamadagni, Durvasa and Viswamitra, others are pretty calm rishis.

They beat up the old man, trashed his small shop and THEN filed the SC/ST act against him.

Poor old guy got beaten up.
Lost his means of earning.
then he is sent to jail.

Ambedkar would be squirming in his grave looking at what these hooligans are doing in his name.
