Sethu Samudram storm: no signs of loosing strength

Sep 20: Somedays ago Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s remarks about Hindu god Ram created storm in the country over the issue of existence of Ram. He had said that Ram is a mythological hero and does not have any historical existence and there is no proof that the bridge was constructed by Him. He expressed his commitment to go ahead with the Sethu Samudram project.

Provoked by such comments, some people attacked the house of his daughter Selvi in Bangalore. His daughter was not present in the house at the time of attack. In the meantime 22 persons have been detained in connection with the incident of burning the bus and attack on the house of Selvi.

Thursday morning BJP leader LK Advani who was at Trinelveli, in Tamil Nadu asked TN CM to apologize and withdraw his remarks on Lord Ram and Ram Sethu. Advani said that there is civil war going on in UPA. Earlier Left destabilized the government now DMK is the second force destabilizing it.

In reaction to the attack on the house of his daughter in Bangalore, Karunanidhi said that Ram worshippers have reflected their culture and he welcomes such opposition from Sangh Quarters saying, “ I treat them as dust’. He reiterated what he said earlier saying, “I reiterate what I said earlier that there is no historical evidence that Ram or Ram Sethu existed.”

War of words reached its intense phase when TN CM Karunanidhi quickly replying to the appeal of Advani of taking his remarks back called Ram a ‘drunkard’ and a ‘big lie’.

In his quick reaction to the appeal he refused to withdraw his statement and said, “Ram is as big a lie as big the truth of the existence of the Ganges and the Himalayas”.

He also threw a challenge before Advani to get into debate with him over Ramayana. Meanwhile security has been provided to the house of his daughter and patrolling is being done on the Hosur road where the incident of burning the bus of Tamil Nadu transportation took place to ensure the safety of the passengers. Police is investigating if the incident is related to the statements of TN CM.

Comparison between Ram & Karunanidhi

1. Ram is an "Ek Pathini viradhan" and Karuna is an
"Egapatta (many) pathini(?) viradhan"

2. Ram gave up all his wealth and
went to the forest for his dad's
word. Karuna likes to hold on to
MORE and MORE wealth for ALL the
kids coming from his multiple wives

3. When there are so many tamil
scholars who dedicated their lives
for tamil including Kamban who
wrote "ramayan", here is a
selfish politician using tamil
as a trump card to acquire all
the wealth in tamil nadu

Let me say this,
"Aadi adungum vazhkaiyadaa, UNAKKUM
aaradi nilam dhaan sondhamadaa"

I am sure one who knows Thirukkural knows
"Yaagaavaaraayinum NAA Kaaakka"
Well, you will "Soogaappai sol
izhukka pattu", don't worry.

He has hurt the sentiments of the people of india by questioning the exisitence of RAM.
First let him learn and respect every religion and apologise to avoid the dire consequences.He is not fit to be a people's man who has insulted the supremo of the Hindu religion.

Well I am glad somebody is atleast standing up to interference from religion in the progress of humanity. Also I am happy that somebody atleast brought up the debate on Dravidian and aryan cultures.

Karunanidhi is present day RAVANA minus the abilities RAVANA had.He or somebody denying Ram is living in fools paradise.And his time has come. RAM will be there tio end his poloical career and send him to oblivion that even while he is alive people will forget who is he.

It is a shame that Hindus themselves are causing the demise and backwardation of the Hindu Nation. Karunanidhi is an ignorant bigot and is forever trying to conform to european ideal and beliefs. It is a shame that such bigotry is allowed by the congress government

Being an atheist or a god-believer is a personal issue. Politicians must not make it a topic to debate which involves the sentiments of the citizens. There are better subjects to be discussed considering the interest of the nation.

Which History college did Karunanidhi graduate from? Thousand years from now what would be the proof that he existed?

What are his academic credentials to be a politician? He is a good example of an old and irresponsible man with some power.
