In Tamilnadu EVR is called the Karl Marx of India for his so-called socialism (only Anti-Brahmin not true socialist ). He is compared to Lord Bertrand Russel for being an atheist. He is called the father of rational thinking for criticisizing superstitions (only Hindu superstitions). Though I am anti-communist I cant belittle Marx who has written a multivolume work on Economics 'Das Kapital'. Russel is one of the greatest abstract mathematicians / philosophers of the 20th century and I dont know whether there is a single Indian who can be compared to him. And in calling EVR the father of rational thinking it is very clear that his admirers / fanatics have not even heard of people like Aristotle & Plato. IN summary, this comparison to great persons and implicit bypass of the founders of logic exposes the ignorance of Tamilians in general and his admirers in particular.
