Dear Meena K. Iyer!
This is Dewan V. Selvam alias Dewan MVS Iyer!
Greetings for being a writer of many perspectives, from an Adhi Brahmanas background (not Adhi Dravidas).
I read your article about the Dharmapuri, my tears went dried. I hope you will do a lot to prove that the Adhi Brahmanas (not Adi Dravidas- it’s foxy minded political leaders of southern Dravidian states to name all so with degradation). The present Adi Dravidas are not really belonging to Dravidian Race, they belong to the ‘blue blooded’ Adhi Brahmanas. Adhi Brahmanas created, the Southern Indian Languae, Literature, Culture, Temples, systems of worshipping, too. Without, Adhibrahmanas like Saint Poet, Shrivalluvar, Avvai Thamburaati, Pandia Kings’ Court Poet Nakkeeran, Kambar, Bharathi Dasan, all unnamed poets and poetess in Tamizh and Malayalam, Andhanar Pandit Ayothi Das, Andhanar Scholar Rettaimalai Srinivasan, Ealam Vetarans – all Front forces, (Shri Valluva Konathris of Valluvanad- present Kerala), no southern would have got identification as learned, irrespective of castes.
Be on your path, laurals will come for the blood of Adhi Brahmanas… your path is right for the rights of Adhi Brahmanas.
