MR AURYAS: - nothing related to this article as I have read about Adhi Sankaracharya and people in TN speaks good about him even ATHEIST.

In response to Mr Auryas comment earlier - EVR PERIYAR - I request you to read the life History and his various sayings. In short he was a REFORMER not a hater of brahmin but BRAHMINISM. He is a hater of all communal system. He has been a harsh critic of ARYAN INFLUENCED HINDUISM - Religion goes hand in hand with superstition and fear. Religion prevents progress and suppress human community - Religion exploits suppressed class of human.

Having read - that once he was thrown out from a temple in Kasi and was not given for a stay in a lodge there in his late teens. He was TN Congress Committee President in Madras Rajadhani during mid 1930s. During an all India Conference held in Kerala , Bramins and Non-Brahmins were served foods separately and it was opposed by him. Later he joined JUSTICE PARTY.

He played for SOCIAL JUSTICE, WOMEN LIBERATION, UPLIFTMENT THRU EDUCATION AND MORE AGST SUPERSTITION. He had a strong feelings about Religions that they are prone to be hit by accusation of superstition, Exploitation and Irrationalism.

British rule was golden era in Indian History!

1. British unified over 550 princely states into a single entity.
2. They ended Moslem domination in India and liberated Hinddus from 1000-year long subjugation that eventually led to the rise of Hinddu intellectual class who could eventually fight for the freedom of India.
3. British built excellent dams, bridges, railways, roads, etc which unheard in the rest of Asia (during 19th century).
4. British opened many universities and colleges in India, which helped Hinddus to rise as an intellectual class.
5. British introduced English helped India to become a software superpower in the world today.
6. British rule considerably weakened the barbaric caste-system, even though remnants of the system remain. Even superstitions decreased to a great extent.
7. Due to better medical services, death rate dropped and life-span increased.
8. Railways, postal services, modern education, English medicine, etc rapidly improved the standards and quality of life.
9. HHindus were living under complete subjugation of Mozlems. British rule gave great religious freedom to HHindus
10. British rule altogether gave a new direction to Indians who were mired in ignorance, superstitions, caste-barbarity and opened an era of modern civilization in India.
