Response 6: Controversy Surrounds Suraa and Ashokamithiran! A rejoinder to Yamuna Rajendran and Aadhavan Theetchanya!. By R.P.Rajanayahem
I have no doubt that su.raa’s intentions are genuine and he is not retaliating dalits at all. As per me it is jayakanthan who lets down dalits and their basic rights in defending jeyandrar and sankara matt. On the contrary, when jeyandrar was arrested, su.raa immediately announced his stand against sankara matt in a straight, clear-cut manner. Jk openly declares his strong support to hindutva and writes an absurd novel hara hara sankara. But as a non-brahmin he is not facing any severe attack on him. Of course yamuna rajendran took an x-ray of jeyakanthan and he pointed out in pathivukal that his meeting with su.raa was an amicablbe experience rather than jeyakanthan. Yamuna rajendran was correct in pointing out charu nivedita’s unnatha sangeetham, In which a fifty year old person seduces a 13 year old girl. This is definitely a sexual Perversion and a rape according to the social values, ethics and law. But charu wrote it clearly. And his intention also is to let the reader understand this. But it is the height of irony, as usual charu also is throwing a stone on su.raa. in kumudham theeranathi May issue comfortably forgetting his short story unnatha sangeetham. He may also write a lengthy rejoinder to yamuna rajendran that he is unable to understand unnatha sangeetham.
Asokamitran’s perception should be dealt with a philanthropic view. Like su.raa he also has no intension to insult dalit brothers. But he blames the dravida movements. In Tamil Nadu the raise of dravida parties caused a heavy damage to the brahmins community. Their main capital in their politics was anti-brahminism. Periyar did a great change in the culture undoubtedly. But we have seen his disciples are hypocrites and they have spoiled the state and the political environment totally. With their propaganda, dravida movements have done severe harm to Brahmins. Late Aadhavan had written a touching story ‘Annai Vadivamada’ on this. Even Indira Parthasarathy has attacked dravida movements and in his novel ‘’suthanthra boomi’’ he criticized periyar as Don Quixote. Don Quixote is both sublime and foolish as we know.dravida leaders have superimposed the Brahmins as the race against tamil culture. Now tamil dalits have understood that all dravida paries are against them and they have found krishnaswamy and thirumavalavan as their leaders. Great political change has come. Actually all the back ward communities are doing harms to dalits. Only the jathi hindus (b.cs and m.b.cs) are the real archenemies to dalits. Dalits know this fully. For years, jathi hindus have behaved atrociously against dalits. I request yamuna rajendran should take this factor for his consideration. As a great writer Asokamitran has every right to speak the grievances of his community and compare Brahmins to jews. Certainly Jews and Brahmins have historical identity. I accuse dravida movements are identical to Hitlar’s fascists. Fallen among the dravidians are not literarions.
