@VPSecretariat Pls replace the white-washed version of the pic of the great Hindu sage #Thiruvallur with the below authentic pic.

As part of De-Indianising the Tamil traditions and peddle the Aryan-Dravidian divide (race theory) (North-South divide) ,first they attempted to de-link the Tamil language from Sanskrit with their false rhetorics.
Once that was somewhat successful , the colonial masters like G.U Pope translated the Tamil classic #Thirukural written by the great Hindu sage #Thiruvalluvar .As always the mistranslation had vested interests. Pope declared that #Thirukural was the result of Christian influence
and attributed the work of the sage to Xtian ethics.
Xtian influence was debunked when it was proved that greater than 250 couplets of #Thirukural 's third book were devoted to Kama Purushartha (which reflected Hindu ethos) .

Many of those who rejected the Xtian influence claimed #Thirukural as a Jain work.
But even this was debunked as the #Thirukural had many couplets against the cardinal concept of Jain ahimsa (non-harming).For instance , #Thirukural advises that the king should execute murderers

just like weeds are removed from the crop fields.
Sadly even after debunking such bs theories many a time ,they still lurk in the minds of few and being politicized by many.
