Chevalier Dr. Kamal Haasanin Mayyam - Part 9

[irir123]

not sure if you were serious in what you were telling or if you are just having so much hatred about CHO that you believe that he would behave so cheaply , also i am not sure if you were aware of the circumstances in which CHO came forward to act in the film Kaadhala Kaadhala......... when a section of the film industry was against Kamal

hatred for Cho ?!

I admire his articulate ability and his non-partisan approach in criticizing politicians in an objective manner - but that doesn't mean I accept/agree with some of his claims such as how the Ramar paalam (bridge) is Holy, etc etc, and his weird assertions of how Hinduism (or Sanathana dharma) was practiced elsewhere by the Incas and the aborigines of Australia etc - Cho is definitely not an expert in archaeology and I do some stuff with the same working as a docent at a local museum - the Incas for example (as did the Aztecs) worshipped the Sun god, which was a practice in most pagan cultures - so Cho in recent years tends to say things which are beyond his expertise (not different from how many people I know of suggest to me that genetic engineering / organ transplant was well-known in ancient India - laughable conjectures)

anyway those are a different matter/topic - but I do recall reading his opinion on VR here : "There are three angles here. One, the right of the artiste. Two, the right of the follower of a religion not to have his religious feelings hurt by anyone’s word or deed. Three, the duty of the state to maintain law and order. Usually, these three factors do not clash but they may." (http://archives.deccanchronicle.com/...ry-thin’)

I have problems with the second point - why should religious feelings NOT be offended ?? literature, music, art can be criticized, but not religion ? why religion has a special status ? why someone like Cho is pandering to this lame thought ? thats all am asking.
