Tamil movies

are a best indication of how caste-based violent politics dominates TN today. Most of the heroes of Tamil movies employ violent means usually involving the sickles dripping with blood.

In UP, Mayawathi has called for a social coalition of Dalits, Baniyas(Traders), Brahmins, Muslims and Thakurs for greater well being of the state.

Why dont we hear such a statement from Karunanidhi or Tirumavalavan or Ramdoss?

Periyarists are always known to claim Ambedkar as a Periyarist... but the two differed on many many issues. Ambedkar may have lot of bad things to say on Hinduism, but he was a nationalist, who believed in unity of India. Periyar was certainly not one. His hatred towards North India (including North Indian OBCs, whom he hated equally) is legendary.

moreover Ambedkar was well educated and he had the foresight to suggest reservations for only 10 years.

Funnily in Tamil Movies, the Hero is always shown as a Dravidian (dark skinned) but heroine is always fairer than a European. How is it possible?

Is it that Social Justice and Periyarism does not apply to women?

Recently, tamil movies have really turned violent with blood dripping sickels becoming common. Slowly it will move to real life and real people too start doing that. After all, cinema actors are gods in TN.

All this is the result of GOD devoted people leaving TN. What else proof does any one need that TN is going down.
