Tamil media is very particular about demonizing Central BJP Govt over #Keezhadi excavation & tries to Brand them Anti Tamils.
Minister @mafoikprajan excellently handles him and rebuts his claims one by one.
There is no reason to believe that Central Govt is playing a spoiler to Keezhadi excavations.
It was Central Govt that gave a go ahead to 4th phase of excavations, both the then & present cultural mins r very cooperative, are of no opinion that Tamil culture is against Indian.
It's completely a false narrative that Centre is not allotting sufficient funds to TN State Archeological Dept.
TN State Archeological Dept has only 110 staffers, where as ASI has 1000 staffers in TN & looking after 416 Historical monuments & State's is maintaining 91.
DMK was in power for 20 years & Keezhadi was very much there but moved no muscle to bring the truths out.
I still stand by my word that both Tamil & Sanskrit are the two eyes of Indian culture.
Amit Shah only asks to give importance to mother tongue & learn Hindi as 3rd lang.
Summary:
Centre is cooperative & alloted more funds than our state's archeological dept's budget.
Centre gave go ahead to 4th phase of excavations at Keezhadi.
Centre is of no motive to alienate Tamil culture from Indian culture.
Centre is maintaining more monuments in TN.
DMK did nothing in Keezhadi's regard when they were in power.
Both Tamil & Sanskrit are two eyes of Indian culture.
Amit Shah promotes mother tongue & additionally asks everyone to learn Hindi as 3rd language unlike then HM P Chidambaram.
We need Hindi Prachar Sabha like establishment to promote Tamil and every state needs such an establishment to promote their languages.
Respective State Govts need to take initiative to establish it & Centre should support the same.
Lighting oil/ghee lamps in Temples considered as one of the greatest virtues since ages.
In ancient times, people donated goats, cows, buffaloes to Temples to light lamps.
To light a perpetual lamp, Temples collected 96 Goats/48 Cows/16 Buffaloes as deposit from donors.
As per one of the inscriptions on the enclosure wall in Thanjavur Brihadeeshwara Temple, 78 perpetual lamps were lit by Rajaraja in the Temple everyday, amongst, 59 of them were lit using cow ghee & the rest using goat ghee.
The livestock he donated to the Temple to light lamps as per the inscriptions,

Detailed report on today's TNIE.
Let's see if TN Parties, particularly DMK & Congress, that held Candle Light march against Hathras rape, even condemn this sex crime against children by a Bible Preacher!
