@mindaslab it is sad that we don't know what our ancients passed down (it definitely wasn't the hocus-pocus the West has had, but the colonial system wants us to think it was similar).
BTW, thank you for being forthright and not being the conformist fashes so many are on social media. I disagree with ½ of what you say in your other messages, but am glad you are saying it.
@tetrislife if we don't know what has been passed to us, then it means we don't have it, which means nothing was passed to us.
@mindaslab does it mean it wasn't there, or that it isn't there elsewhere still? Not wanting it seems to be the norm (modernity is one of the West's ways of eradicating pesky traditional culture, Dravidianism is a manifestation of that).
Seems sad that one of the richest cultures (TN) is not appreciated by its own.
Practical aspects too get lost, TN gets rice from Punjab apparently!
@tetrislife we appreciate our culture, we don't want Aryans and aliens to be adulterating it. In time we will get back to our pure Tamil ways.
@mindaslab keeping Tamil culture is good to hear.
I don't see much evidence of either Aryans being aliens or Dravidians being unique; there is clear similarity among all South Indians, North Indians are different, North East people are different. And the Roma people in Europe are of Indian descent. And the Hakki Pikki tribe in India is of African descent.
I think the West focuses on differences (genes) instead of similarities (culture), because it has always been about divide-and-rule. Why play along?
@tetrislife Okay, if we are so similar, why not all Gods in India are worshiped by praying Tamil hymns?
@mindaslab it will be interesting if organic farming exponent Pamayan has anything to say about this. He has a great hold on Tamizh literature and language, and analyzes with an open mind. If you find a video, please watch and maybe point it out to me too.
