@Vrikodhara @GabbarSanghi @AgentSaffron @SirJambavan @AyyangarvaaL @yaajushi @TrueIndology @Kunthavi5 @mekansara @KarikadaiBoy @ShefVaidya @_toxfire @mchellap Let me present a slightly different argument. @Shrikanth_krish
What is the genesis of this trouble? Forget Vijaynagara, forget everyone. We know for sure, till the time Madurai Nayaks were in full strength, nothing happened. What changed after their collapse?

@Vrikodhara @GabbarSanghi @AgentSaffron @SirJambavan @AyyangarvaaL @yaajushi @TrueIndology @Kunthavi5 @mekansara @KarikadaiBoy @ShefVaidya @_toxfire @mchellap @shrikanth_krish While North ran the show with centralized entities like Thanjavur and Arcot, south was absolute chaos with the Palayakkars not bending to anyone. Petty village level chieftainships - it was a recipe for disaster. There was no Telugu-Tamil enemity even then -

So, the hatred didn't come because of Telugu-Tamil. What is the next one? Caste. Now, let's look at caste from evangelical angle.

Destroy the clergy, destroy the religion. The initial resistance is offered by the organized armies, soften them up, the clergy will be ripe for plucking. Exactly the reason why Tipu lobbed the heads of

@Vrikodhara @GabbarSanghi @AgentSaffron @SirJambavan @AyyangarvaaL @yaajushi @TrueIndology @Kunthavi5 @mekansara @KarikadaiBoy @ShefVaidya @_toxfire @mchellap @shrikanth_krish Brahmins in Palakkad. And when you don't have numbers to decimate the clergy, what will you do? Turn the people against the clergy. That is exactly what happened in South TN and North East - in South TN, there was no organized resistance, in NE, there was no organized religion.

@Vrikodhara @GabbarSanghi @AgentSaffron @SirJambavan @AyyangarvaaL @yaajushi @TrueIndology @Kunthavi5 @mekansara @KarikadaiBoy @ShefVaidya @_toxfire @mchellap @shrikanth_krish That clearly gives a hint why there is massive christian population in South TN. Villify Brahmins, nah, organized Hinduism(religion, military everything), come up with crackpot theories(Lemurian Continent), encourage people to accept them. Remmeber, the biggest proponents

@Vrikodhara @GabbarSanghi @AgentSaffron @SirJambavan @AyyangarvaaL @yaajushi @TrueIndology @Kunthavi5 @mekansara @KarikadaiBoy @ShefVaidya @_toxfire @mchellap @shrikanth_krish of Lemurian theory are all Indians - Kanakasabai and the rest. And it's not the end of the game. Declare repsected castes of the society, who are capable of leading you as criminal tribes like Mukkulathor(they constitute those who can pose a threat to the British interests).

@Vrikodhara @GabbarSanghi @AgentSaffron @SirJambavan @AyyangarvaaL @yaajushi @TrueIndology @Kunthavi5 @mekansara @KarikadaiBoy @ShefVaidya @_toxfire @mchellap @shrikanth_krish Create situation which will destroy the traditional order and customs will be villified as base. Do an assessment of temple income and seize their lands. With no income to manage temples, Devadasis were forced to seek patrons. Now, call it prostitution and get it banned.

@Vrikodhara @GabbarSanghi @AgentSaffron @SirJambavan @AyyangarvaaL @yaajushi @TrueIndology @Kunthavi5 @mekansara @KarikadaiBoy @ShefVaidya @_toxfire @mchellap @shrikanth_krish Next, bring HRCE to seize the temples and make the administration secular. This means entry of new castes into areas of Brahmin domination - again, reinforce hatred against the Brahmin. Next, is to secularize education. Heartburn for the castes which are not traditionally

Introduce depressed classes in census. All these point to a single factor - target those who are held in high esteem in the society to destroy opposition to evangelism and cement British rule - the classic divide and rule policy.

@Vrikodhara @GabbarSanghi @AgentSaffron @SirJambavan @AyyangarvaaL @yaajushi @TrueIndology @Kunthavi5 @mekansara @KarikadaiBoy @ShefVaidya @_toxfire @mchellap @shrikanth_krish And when you create a system of hate with an end result that some people believe their tradition and customs are vilified by some other, the some others are branded outsiders and are targeted, be it the Brahmins, be it the North Indians, be it anyone. I feel Justice Party, EVR

It was not created out of genuine ecosystem. Another factor to consider here is the Brahmin (read traditionally educated classes) domination in politics. And how did this hate syndicate cement it's position?

2. Aggressive Hindi imposition
3. Separation of extended job markets - Burma, Malaya and Sri Lanka.
Suddenly, you see Tamils losing their jobs and with an added headache of Andhra Movement, it crystallized even further.
