Subject: Ravan, Brahma's great grand-son conceived as a Tamil!
What I am about to say may not be of interest to non-Tamil people. The reason I pen this is that the gigantic and historic hoax that is obstinately and inanely propagated by a section of Tamils. Ravana's story is purely from Valmiki's 'Ramayana'. Though a raakshasa he was directly descended from Brahma who is claimed by all Brahmins as their originator. They belong to 'Brahmakulam', as they assertively claim. The Dravida Kazhagam of Tamil Nadu with no logic to support its assertion claim Ravana as a Tamil person. They think that this will shame and discomfit the Smartha Brahmins almost all of whom hold Rama as the Supreme Being. Jawaharlal Nehru did the same blunder when he wrote in his 'Discovery of India' that the war between Rama and Ravana represents the war between Aryans and Tamils in the very ancient days. The Tamils that claim Ravan as a Tamil, very conveniently keep away the fact that Ravan was a lecher of extreme proportions as Sita was only one of the other gods/rakshas/men's wives that he actually ravished or tried to ravish! It is a disgrace of indescribable magnitude for Tamil people to celebrate a monument of lechery, Ravana!
