Speaking at the 200th aniversary celebration of Vallalar in Vadalur, Governor R.N Ravi praised Vallalar as the pinnacle of Sanatana Dharma which has caused great shock. Vallalar strongly opposed Vedic religious norms, caste and religious differences and created a separate religious system.
Governor Ravi's talk of Vallalar who opposed Vaidikam, as the supreme star of Sanathana, has caused a great debate.
Vallalar was against caste and religious oppression during his lifetime. Thus he formed the Samarasa Suddha Sanmarka Sangam, Sathya Darna Salai, Siddhi Valagam and Sathya Gnana Sabha.
Vallalar was the one who strongly rejected Vedic religion and Sanatana Dharma. Also, he lived and became famous as an orator and creator with a multi-faceted personality.
Vallalar was well versed in Tamil language. He contributed works including Thirumuraigal to the Tamil world. Besides being one who was educated in Tamil and was also a Tamil sentimentalist.
When Shankaracharya called Sanskrit the mother tongue of all languages, he said, "my language Tamil is the father tongue of all languages." Vallalar's response is found in the pages of history.
Vallalar was the most fiercely direct opponent of the Vedic religion.
Vallalar was a thinker and social revolutionary who planted the seeds of the Dravidian movement in Tamil Nadu before its conception.
Vallalar completely rejected the four varunas and caste structure that Sanatana Dharma emphasized.
These principles were the foundation and underpinning of Father Periyar and the Dravidian movement. Vallalar is the embarrassment of Sanatana!.
The Dravidian Movement people's allegation is that Governor R.N Ravi's talk of Vallalar as the supreme star of the Sanathana is a blatant diversion.
The Governor of Tamil Nadu is deliberately and purposefully challenging the sentiments of the people of Tamil Nadu by making absurd comments and making Sanatana preaching.
R.N Ravi's sleazy propaganda showing the white-clad Vallalar as a saffron-wearing saffron-wearing campaigner... the ultimate absurdity is strongly condemned.
Governor Sanatana! Do you want controversial comments to come always when you open your mouth? Say four good words that the country will accept!
