Your Wish...Off I go!
Sathya
I find the identity of caste itself as vulgar. Language, nation, gender are attributes that are not be definition hierarchical (adha vechu naan periyavan nee sinnavan nu adichukkalaam adhu Vera). OTOH, the notion of caste is completely different.
Historically and nationally privileged identity-a puncture koothinE irukkaaru (a trait he shares with certain politicians and certain political parties, therefore the trait itself must be political and if it's political, it's hypocritical. Follow the logic?), no wonder the extended vitriol and negative comments that he gets from the presupposed intellectual class of social networking age..
And I'll withdraw into my rocks under with this:
Apropos nothing, Rahman's tamil announcement in IIFA :thumbsup:. edhukku sonnAr, epdi sonnAr mukkiyamillai. A big slap in the face of north indies bubble. When MammokkA criticises Bolly mentality in the same IIFA, it is just a shot in the dark. But when someone of Rahman's stature does it, it is a huge, huge slap on north indies inward looking, self-navel gazing attitude. idhula uLLa sentimentai partisan apdinnu naNbar sathya counterA eduthukka vAippu irukkuu so let me quote git clove about "puncturing the PRIVILEGED identitty", and claim exemption from hypocrisy.
I have a friend who is an atheist but is on the "right" side and strongly favors Hindutva viewpoints. He sees Hindu religion as having merits over other religions/cultures and he doesn't let it interfere with his atheism. Doesn't make him a hypocrite nor will I ask him to be an equal opportunity attacker. Well I may actually ask that but not because he is an atheist
To clarify, I meant Rahman's stature in North Indies. Not that Mammookka is of absolute lesser stature than Rahman. Directhit and Murali Srinivasaiyum pre-empt paNnidarEn.
Nan eduvumE sollaliyE :) look at my post wrt that speech.
