sweet. carefully placed piece to elevate chettiars as the only saviours (a dravidian elite) Tbrahmins as opposed to Tamil music per-se. Does not even mention the Papanasam Sivans who actually composed in Tamil.
how do you fight this? you use their puritanism against them

imagine you take people on a 'heritage walk' and seed negative atrocity narrative.
why did these academies oppose? was it because of Tamil or because they didnt want a node or rancour and discord?
these people 'inform' in this manner.

anyway this is OLD story. the proof is in the pudding it is crystal clear that Chettiar institution builders had the resources as well as the requisite TamizhBrahmin hostility to be able to be build their own Music Movement with Tamil "lyrics" -- this was 100 yrs ago.
Why continue to propagate this in the 'heritage walk' ? Talk about today --- where are the Chettiar and other Non-Brahmin (i.e Draviidan) caste singers and ecosystem today in 2022? who stopped them?
Proof pudding..

The upshot of this Heritage Walk appears very 'dravidian' to spread canards half/misinformation about Tamizh Brahmins.
Of this format:
'Do you know when our leader tried to win basic self respect for mother tamizh that Ganapathy Iyer from 2nd street opposed us'? but ' Rukmini mami and Sadasivam iyer supported us'.
a bit disorienting isnt it?? 😍🖤

I mean -- is this wrong? 'that curmudgeon Ganapathy Iyer from 2nd street was in fact against the institution'
But it is disorienting that someone would say THIS in THAT context. It is hard to grapple because their narrative is not about music but about brahmins.

#D has really run into the wrong archetype in me - I am fascinated by these 'paradoxes and hence instead of the normal tambram reaction to be repelled - I am attracted even more.
