I thought it was a nod to Brando's Fletcher Christian in Mutiny On the Bounty, which was about a certain breadfruit incident :P

kalyan, you are jumping from conclusion to conclusion here (and this won't go down well with Plum, who holds the copyright for the that :-) ).

AFAIK MarudhanAyakam was shelved for financial reasons. Pokhran, phoren producer pulling out etc. Now pulling together the time, feel, looks and effort for such an effort is a bigger ask than what it would've been 12 years back. I don't think it was fearing the opposition of thEvars.

when you still are a part of a religion/community and the negative feedback you give to them will often be taken as a constructive criticism which unfortunately is not the case with KH.

Ok then by this logic Kamal cannot criticize Muslims. :-)

Padicchen. Remba suvarasiyamaa irunthathu. My knowledge on some of the subject talked about is poor.

But this kinda digressive discussion sure would benefit Small/Medium Thread (SMT) owners like HR and I :D

I was very clear :) . the following was my stand right from the beginning.

1) If you want to offer constructive criticism, you can continue as a part of the community and criticise, even if you dont fully agree with their interpretation of God. You lose your right to offer 'constructive criticism' for a community once when you are no longer a part of it.

2) If you are forsaking a religion on the basis that you have come to the conclusion that there is no god whatsoever, then at least maintain uniformity with your criticism thereafter.

3) An atheist who keeps speaking about atheism through whatever the media resources available to him is only as bad as a tele evangelist, the only thing is that he is advertising / promoting a different brand of product.
