1. Mathams and Adheenams operate differently in Tamil Nadu. So to pontificate to the @KanchiMatham is to target this great institution and to reinforce Dravidianist anti-Brahmin vitriol.
2. The entire point of the opposition to the Dravidianist ideology is its targeting of Brahmins and misrepresentation of Mathams. Birth-based selection and training happens across the board in Mathams and Adheenams.
3. So if you don't have the guts to talk about non-Brahmin institutions, first grow a spine and find your voice to speak up even with respect to such institutions.
4. When Brahmins of Tamil Nadu are already staring at d next wave of virulent anti-Brahmin vitriol, act with a sense of responsibility instead of pushing RW Wokeism in the name of social justice. As I said, wokeism is colonial and equally afflicts the Left and the so-called RW.
5. I stand by @KanchiMatham & its practice. Those who have a problem with my position & find it Brahminical and/or castiest can take a hike.I do not for a moment identify with those who hold forth on such issues & wear their ignorance as a badge of honour with added sanctimony.
6. I don't believe in holding an opinion for the sake of public validation nor do I need the badge of a social justice warrior. I stand by traditional institutions of all groups within the Hindu fold, including Mathams, and their right to preserve their respective identities.
7. Feel free to unfollow, block or boycott me. Continue attacking me. Even if I am alone in holding my views, I don't mind and I will not change my position. My allegiance is to Dharma as practiced by the Matham/Sampradaya I subscribe to. Not to the Twitter crowd or a party.
