The first one is saying Nair and Namboodthiri, both aare matriarchal, which is not the case. Namboothiri, the Kerala Brahmin follows Patriarchism.
The second one is saying Guruvayoorappan is an avatar of Lord Krishna. He is not considered as avtar of Krishna, but Krishna himself, more specifically Krishna as an infant.
And the third is Ravi saying the whole issue is because he is of backward caste Ezhava. The issue was his wife being Christian and Hindu Temples in Kerala does'nt allow non hindus to enter temple premises.
So his son was not considered a Hindu because his mother was Christian.
Ravi has every right to feel aggrieved but being a responsibe citizen and a leader of status he should not distort facts ang give it a casteist colour. Especially in Kerala's background where casteism is not at all prevelant.

Sri Lankan President and his Catholic Wife were allowed in. Ravi is right. This is caste arrogance only. If it goes to a Court Case they have to answer why foreigners were allowed in if Religion is the reason.

Stop pushing the caste agenda. Wherever there is a caste agenda, there is the christian mischief maker. How come the catholic church will not allow a catholic to marry a hindu unless the hindu officially converts. The famous situation is Rajiv Gadnhi being forced to convert (Roberto) before being able to marry Sonia Gandhi and be accepted by the church. Mny churches in the west will not allow persons inside their church if they do not adhere to proper codes set out by the church. Mr. Ravi's entry issue was nothing to do with his caste background but his religous affiliation. The fact that he would resort to the caste bashing implies that his intention was not spiritual but politicaly, and that too his leanings are christian, because it is only a christian that would try to force every other religion to forcefully 'open' their doors to allow just about anybody, including a hindu-hater, inside while they keep non-christians away from their churches. Get lost Jackson. Go count your rosary beads.

Then we can believe in Jesus, or Adonyss, or Mithras, or Osiris. The last three were all dying and resurrecting gods before Jesus. All have December 25th as birth date. All dies on Friday. What good choice !!!

Rubbish .. no cleansing took place and VVIP treatment was given. I would rather be a Christian Fanatic than a Caste Based Fanatic.
I am happ to be a Hindu practicing the Tamil Bhakti Tradition without Caste Prejudices.
