Maestro Ilaiyaraja New Albums 2011 - Hello Jaihind / Sri Rama Rajyam

[irir123]

guess ramayanam is a sentimental drama and if one looks at it from a lyrical / literary perspective as one would look at Shakespeare's or even Tennesse Williams works, then it shdnt matter much

as for morals, they are but a reflection of the times - it was considered ok and even a moral neccessity for a woman to jump into her husband's funeral pyre (probably its still being practised in some rural parts of northern india) 50 years ago, honor killing of newly wed couples with the boy /girl from different caste backgrounds still being practised and accepted in many places in india, etc etc, just the same way sharia is practised in islamic countries around the world

wonder if someone would take a different / radical look at the conventionally accepted story of rama - sita and give a twist showing rama's advances towards other women in the absence of sita !! ? perhaps we need a desi Dan Brown to come up with something like that to challenge the 'holy cows' of indian mythology!

for the 'so-called' morals espoused and practised during biblical times, watch / read Richard Dawkins' 'The God Delusion'! it was morally acceptable to kill ones own son to appease 'god'(yaweh the jewish one) and also stone ppl to death etc etc - and later on, it was acceptable to burn women at the stake for charges of heresy and practising witchcraft etc - but those times were different and real

likewise ramayana if not taken as a sentimental story, but a series of events that allegedly happened, ought to looked at time-context wise

nobody gives a hoot if one likes Ramayana or not.
Let's stick to music here instead of throwing our own biases--people come here for discussions on music and nothing more.

Why does this goose-hunt syndrome keep repeating for almost every new album?
Padithurai was also supposed to be out this year, neither has that seen the light. Happi also seems to have bitten the dust. tch...

raja_fan, your reply was also not warranted.

Anyway guys, let's get back to the music discussion.

raja_fan, your reply was also not warranted.

Anyway guys, let's get back to the music discussion.

RR, are you the moderator ?
If so, my reply would have been unwarranted if you had stopped people from the discussion before me pointing that to you..
Otherwise, my reply was very much needed.

Dear Raja-Fan, I would just like to say that a little digression is inevitable in any thread. That's what happened. Ramayana is an Indian epic. I am an Indian. Heck, even if I am not, as a human, I have as much share in it as you. So, you cannot claim that we have to look at it your way only. Combining the above two points, there was nothing wrong with what was posted before. Your sanctimonious tone is what changed the mood of the thread so RR is right. Anyway, emotion blinds us so I can understand. I see the point in not discussing it further here. Since you are so riled up, I intend to transfee these discussions to the Indian Films thread and invite participants there. That would be fine by you no?
