One has to "do" Dravidiam. This is about praxis. Kudos !!!

We have to admire the hard work and passion they bring to the table. Investing time and editing Wikipedia.

But Cholas were Vedic more like Smartas.
Saivite - the philosophical texts of Saiva Siddhanta were after Meykandar in 13th Century. Prior to that there were the Bhakti Hymns. Today a "Saivite" refers to Saiva Siddhantham. Cholas predate that.
Cholas established Vedic colleges all over the country, Rajendra Chola 1 himself studied the Vedas (as Per Karandai Copper Plate). Many Vaishnavite temples were also estb by Cholas.

Vedic i.e. Smarta is the closest sub group you can place the Cholas in.
Rajendra Chola 1 son of RRC who learnt the Vedas.

the evidence is there for all to see. most TB can trace Chola era as the golden age, before that it wasnt too bad. Cheras were Vedic too, Pandiyas too..

tough luck #D
one way to define Dravidians : * Hard work

Love that about them. Adopting the bad faith ? Yes. A passion for canards? Yes.

But still hard work !! Learn. Then Push back.

Regarding legal prosecution of Dravidian Anti-TamizhBrahmin propagandists the best fit model is attempts in Inter-War Germany to prosecute Julius Streicher. Fascinating parallel read it. I am quite deep into this @Swamy39 Image
the question #D asks TB :

"wow Tamizh Brahmin you are the modern ones who speak liberalism and free speech. Now how come you want to silence us because you are targeted"

exact same conundrum. Image

Ready for a story?

The prominent Dravidian social media intellectual and anti-Tamizh-Brahmin account promoted by the richest elites of Tamil society like @PTRMadurai posted a picture of him gifting TM CM M.K.Stalin a book.
This book is "Kalaignar Kalanjiyam" collection of works of fmr Tamilnadu CM Dr Kalaignar Karunanidhi.

Notice the bottom - presented as if it is a publication of Centre for South Asia Studies -- with the Univ Seal and Logo.
Notice again.. closely

Hahahahahahah.

this is why TB are not respected at all. Poorly informed with few moral tethers - yet conceited and impregnable due to expertise in a narrow field.

otoh : I am respected by Dravidians. Ask anyone. I like this about them. Image

If this kryes is a small town boy who was scouted and groomed into Dravidian by the super elite. they did a great job.

Does a PhD from UC Berkeley who holds adj professorship in Columbia and UParis Sorbonne talk like this.
God knows I have engaged Dravidian-Tamil alley for a long time now. Tabs on DravNonBrahmin Peter winners down to the most foul and abusive. In Tamil.
If a UC Berkeley PhD and Adj Professor in Columbia and UParis (Sorbonne) lifts private pictures of a Chief Secy and criminal hate tweets in public that would reflect on UC Berkeley Tamil Dept would it not?

Are you #DTamilians that unique? @chockshandle 😍

For those who are legitimately open to reason and facts. I will supply the source.

This is what the #Dravidian-NB-Elite are trying to sell. Maniammai had no agency

The book is "திராவிட இயக்கத்தில் அன்னை மணியம்மையாரின் பங்கு " by Dr Mangala Murugesan a History Professor in Govt Madras University

This is the authoritative book on Maniammai - many many #D journos cite from this book.
I instantly know - the Dravidian response will not be similar to what other cultures responses.

They will immediately trash and cancel the book and the author and the publisher etc. This is how 'facts' are adjusted in #D

The book was released by Periyar Women Wing

look what I caught trawling the depths of #Dravidian Elite alley.. a @paviraksha. Sweet is'nt he certainly more than a 'normie dad' ? goin about town undetected 🖤🖤😍😍😍

a resourceful bigot
can be a passionate criminal Image
studying the psychology of this group is absolutely critical.Lord knows I fight in Tamizh .. with the underclass. But this elite Peter Dravidian group is the control layer. Because they are the beneficiary group. Those who surf the chaos. Image
A quick research into TL sees he sparks off various anti-Tamizh-brahmin threads and then deletes them. This is how the 'Tempo' is maintained. There needs to be poison in the air at all times. Image
