PERIYAR E.V. RAMASAMY about .......

He was sent to a small primary school normally run at a House - pial in those days.

1889 [Age - 10] His school career ended within 5 years.

1891 [Age - 12] He entered his father’s trade.

1895 He used to hear Tamil Vaishnav religious Gurus talks on mythologies at his house, enjoying hospitability of his parents. As a boy, he started questioning the contradictions and absurdities in the fables of Hindu deities spread by the Arya Race ie., Brahmins for subjugating Dravidian Race. Blossoming of rationalism and atheism slowly in the mind of this youth - Ramasamy.

1898 He married NAGAMMAL, aged 13. He reformed his orthadox wife and sowed rationalistic views in her mind. 1900 He became the father of a female - child which expired within 5 months and thereafter had no children. 1904 He undertook "renunciation" of family because of the harsh reprimand of his father. He went first to Vijayawada in Andhra State. Then he proceeded to Hyderabad and Kolkatta. INSULT AT KAASI ENLIGHTENS HIS RATIONALISMHe reached Kaasi (Varanasi), a noted sacred town of Hindu pilgrimage on the bank of the River Ganges. There he could not get free meals easily at choultries which exclusively fed Brahmins forbidding other Hindu castes. Having starved severely for some days, this handsome young man Ramasamy found no other better way than to enter a choultry with the appearance of a Brahmin wearing a thread on his bare chest. But his moustache betrayed him. So the gate-keeper not only prevented his entry but also pushed him rudely to the street. At that moment, as the feast was over inside the choultry, the leaves with food left over were thrown at the street. The unbearable burning hunger for the past few days forced Ramasamy to compete with the street - dogs in eating the remnants of food in the leaves. While eating that food, the eyes of Ramasamy looked at the letters carved on the front wall of the building. They revealed the truth that the choultry exclusively occupied by the highest caste viz., Brahmins, had been built only by a wealthy merchant of Dravidian Race from Tamil Nadu. Suddenly in the mind of this young man, some questions could have sparked such as: "Why and how the Brahmins can obstruct the Dravidians from taking meals in the choultry although the choultry was built with the money of a Dravidian Philanthropist? Why the Brahmins behaved so mercilessly and fanatically as to push the communities of the Dravidian race even to starvation - death by adamantly enforcing their evil casteism?" No justifiable answers came to convince the judicious thinking of Periyar on the above questions. The disgrace inflicted by the Brahmins at KAASI upon him without the least mercy, made a deep wound in the heart of Periyar and it inflamed intense hatred towards that Aryan race and their creation of innumerable Gods. Though Kasi (Varanasi) has been acclaimed as the most "sacred town" by the Brahmins, the worst ugly scenes of immoral activities, prostitution, cheating, looting, begging crowds for alms, floating dead bodies on the River Ganges turned Periyar to abhor that so-called holy-town. Consequently, a re-thinking on his renunciation led him to return to his family life. On returning to Erode - his father delegated all his trade rights to this second son and renamed his major commercial concern under the title: "E.V. Ramasamy Naicker Mandi" 1905 onwards : SELFLESS SOCIAL SERVICES Besides being a well-known wealthy businessman in Erode Mr. E.V.R. entered into public life by rendering social services selflessly. One noteworthy instance: Once the dreadful contagious disease plague attacked Erode. Hundreds of people died and thousands fled for saving their life. But this noble man did not desert his native town like other rich merchants. He himself carried the dead bodies to the cremation ground while even the close kith and kin did not touch them for last rites due to the fear of the contagion of the plague disease. He commanded enormous influence over other traders in the bazaar street of Erode. He mediated and solved many disputes among the businessmen with neutrality and uprightness. In his youthful years he was attracted by the Tamil scholar Pandithamani Ayothidhaasar who vehemently condemned the caste - system and Hindu religion of Brahmins with the principles of rationalism and Buddhism. Despite his intense hatred towards the Hindu religion and its caste - system - particularly the cruel 'Untouchability' imposed by the Brahmins to supress the Dravidian race - the executive efficiency and the unshakable honesty of E.V.R. fetched the awards of many posts in various public institutions. Periyar was made Honorary Magistrate by the British Government. He held many honorary positions like the President, the Secretary, Vice-President etc., in various public institutions numbering 29 such as - District Board, Taluk Board, Urban Bank, Davasthanam (Religious Trust), Public Library, War Recruitment Committee, Association of Agriculturists, Association of Merchants, Mahajana School Committee... etc., 1906 : FRIENDSHIP OF TAMIL SCHOLARS There was a Tamil Scholar by name: Pulavar Marudhaiya Pillai at Karur. His logical arguments and daring condemnation of Hindu religion, caste-system, deceptive myths in the epics and Vedic sasthras spread by the Brahmins, had attracted admiration of even the ordinary rural people in the areas around Erode and Karur. His bosom - friendship played a major role in inculcating atheism firmly in the mind of Periyar and in moulding the latter as a probing rational thinker. Intimacy of another Tamil Scholar Sage KAIVALYAM had also enriched the rational intuition of Periyar. Many higher officials and learned persons like Engineer P.V. MANICKA NAICKER befriended this Erode Beacon, because of his progressive views. 1909 Unyielding to stiff protest of orthodox family members, Periyar arranged the remarriage of his sister's daughter who became a child widow at the age of 9

PK (film) from wiki

PK is a 2014 Indian satirical comedy-drama film directed by Rajkumar Hirani, produced by Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra, and written by Hirani and Abhijat Joshi.^[ The film stars Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma in lead roles, withSushant Singh Rajput, Boman Irani, Saurabh Shukla, and Sanjay Dutt in supporting roles. It tells the story of an alien who comes to Earth on a research mission. He befriends a television journalist and questions religious dogmas and superstitions.

The film has emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of all time, and ranks as the 65th highest grossing film of 2014 worldwide

A humanoid alien (Aamir Khan), lands on Earth on a research missionRajasthan but is stranded when his beacon to his spaceship, a locket around his neck, is stolen. PK, not knowing Earth's customs, learns to fit in among humans by wearing clothes and using money that he steals from couples having sex in 'dancing cars'. He attempts to learn to communicate by grabbing peoples' hands and absorbing their memories through touch, but they chase him away when he tries. The passenger vehicle that carries Bhairon Singh (Sanjay Dutt) strikes him and renders him unconscious. Bhairon takes him to a doctor who declares PK is a person suffering from amnesia. Bhairon assumes the amnesia is as a result of the collision PK has had with his vehicle. Bhairon now knows that the victim of the accident won't be able to complain about the accident. So Bhairon decides to run away. Later, he takes pity, changes his mind and takes PK along with his troop. Over time PK becomes his friend. Later, interpreting the alien's hand-grabbing as sexual interest, takes him to a brothel. There, the alien holds a prostitute's (Reema Debnath) hand for six hours and thus learns the Bhojpuri language.

in

The alien travels to Delhi in search of his stolen remote. Due to his strange behaviour, the people in the city assume he is tipsy (tipsy translates to pee-kay in Hindi) and call him PK. Delhi turns out to be a very large city, and people tell him that only God can help him find his remote. PK tries to find God, but is confused by India's various religions and their confusing traditions. He later discovers that a godman, Tapasvi Maharaj (Saurabh Shukla), has his remote. However, Tapasvi falsely claims to have attained the object from God in the Himalayas and refuses to return it to PK. Bewildered, PK concludes that Tapasvi and other religious heads must be calling a "wrong number" to God and, as a result, spreading misunderstandings and meaningless rituals.

Meanwhile in Bruges, television reporter Jaggu (Anushka Sharma) falls in love with a man named Sarfaraz (Sushant Singh Rajput). Jaggu's father (Parikshit Sahni) objects to their relationship because Sarfaraz is a Muslim from Pakistan; he consults Tapasvi who predicts that Sarfaraz will betray Jaggu. Determined to prove them wrong, Jaggu proposes to Sarfaraz. She is heart-broken at the wedding chapel when she receives a letter calling off the marriage due to their differences. She returns to India where she is intrigued while watching PK distributing leaflets about a missing God. After hearing his story, Jaggu devises a plan to expose Tapasvi and recover PK's remote.

Jaggu encourages thousands of people to send in videos of their own experiences with religious heads calling "wrong numbers". However, during this period, PK contacts Bhairon Singh who says he will come to Delhi the next day. The next day, when PK goes to pick Bhairon very sadly as he found out Jaggu had a failed love, the station blasts killing Bhairon with nothing happening to PK. Later it is revealed that terrorist had planted the bomb to protect their faith in retaliation to PK's protests.

Finally, Tapasvi is forced to come into the studio and confront PK on-air. Tapasvi claims he has a direct connection to God and refers to his prediction of Sarfaraz's betrayal as proof. However, PK absorbs Jaggu's memories and discovers that Sarfaraz did not write the letter she received. Jaggu contacts the Pakistan Embassy in Belgium where Sarfaraz worked part-time; the embassy tells her that Sarfaraz still loves her and calls them daily to inquire whether she has called. Jaggu and Sarfaraz reconnect and Tapasvi, exposed as a fraud, is forced to return PK's device.

In the course of the film, PK falls in love with Jaggu but refrains from telling her because she loves Sarfaraz. He instead records tapes of her voice and fills his suitcases with batteries so that he can listen to the tapes on his home planet. While departing, he lies to Jaggu regarding the content of the tapes; Jaggu, despite knowing the truth, keeps quiet. She later publishes a book about PK and, at a book reading, claims that she misses him deeply.

The film ends with PK returning to Earth a year later on a new research mission with another alien (Ranbir Kapoor).

The BJP government

Petrol prices could have been Rs. 39, today.

The BJP currently claims to have reduced prices from the 

sky-high Rs. 73 per liter in July 2014 to Rs. 61 as of January 

2015 (Delhi rates). However, they tell one part of the story 

which favours them, in a horrific tale of poor planning and 

misgovernance.

International crude oil prices, which is something that the 

Modi government has no control over, have fallen 46% from 

January 2014 to January 2015. In the same time, petrol 

prices in India have reduced only 14% whilst even 

neighbouring ravaged and war-torn Pakistan has reduced 

prices by 29%. Even more shockingly, the Modi government 

has increased the excise duty from Rs. 9.5 to almost Rs. \

15.4, a whopping 62.1%. They’re depending on more and 

more tax revenue to plug their spending, and not passing on 

any benefit in crude oil prices to the middle-class consumer.

The BJP government has no plans outlined to increase 

domestic production, tangible steps to increase renewable 

energy usage, roadmap to increase PSU efficiency, or even 

a will to strongly enforce contracts like the Reliance KG-D6 

basin issue.

Is this knee jerk uncontrollable response to global geopolitics 

another name of good governance? Is having no long-term 

plans to change the energy production and consumption 

pattern, something that people voted for?

We’d love to hear your views.
