Khan Saheb Kamal Haasan's Jamaat/Jeba Koottam/Devasthaanam - Part 8

[sathya_1979]

What I meant was - Discussions about existance and non-existance of the entity called God (As a power / force) and not about what the religious scriptures explain as God.

Equa, k_g is just being flippant.

Ha ha ha! Oh yeah, got that he's being flippant but elaborated further as I wasn't sure if he basically agreed with the characterization Kamal's films as spiritual/Hindu. I've put forth this argument earlier too, but there are not many takers. Personally I think the debates on how anti-Hindu/brahmin Kamal is are tiresome. To a lot of fans, he's a Gandhian, a Periyarist and everything else in between that's automatically supposed to be a good ideology; to detractors, he's a thoughtless atheist putting forth his views just to offend others, sides with anti-Hindu forces and so on. இரண்டு பக்கமும் பெரும்பாலும் ரொம்ப மிகையான கருத்துக்களையே முன்வைக்கறாங்க. It's high time he (as a filmmaker) got recognized for what he is.

One thing is if we go beyond mere symbolism and the need for explciit "damning of my opponent or the opposite side", is that it is implicit that criticism of certain aspects of "hinduism" contains same damnation of corresponding aspects in other religions. Namakku thEvai enlightenmentnA adhai apdiyE eduthukkalAm. Note the discomfort of muslim theist bros and sisters even in this thread about his views on religion although he hasn't explicitly damned "islam" as much as "hinduism". Equa already covered this point - and I am not pointing to specifics either. Indha threadleye irukku thEdi pArunga. The beauty is he seems to impact everyone at the level they engage. SuperficialA anti-hindu-nu engage paNNA, he hits hard at your beliefs. IdhaiyE indhu munnAni mAdhiri aNuginA "ivan adoi madiyila kai vekkuRAndA" type of reaction is inevitable. That is, he is shaking the foundation of all that we stand for, dangerous phlow, apdinnu thONum. And I have some examples of deep thinking islam counterparts of sathya who realise that what he hits out at "Hinduism" is not something to feel gleeful about. They realise the very same criticism is also adi madi kai vechings for them and their beliefs and have the exact same reaction as sathya and cinefan. Dangerous phlow, this kamalagaasan. Really, the problem only comes when you take a "my group" vs "other group" approach - in which case the plane at which you are engaging is different from the plane at which it is intended.
