Neutrality

[edit]

Can specific comments disputing the neutrality be provided?

Neutrality:
  • The infobox contains pictures of members of a particular community (the Tamil Brahmin community, to be more precise. Of course, M. S. Subbulakshmi is an exception, but she, too, is of Brahmin heritage). I am adding more pictures of individuals belonging to other communities to make it more neutral. My rationale is: Vishwanathan Anand must be a practising Hindu, but is not known for being religious. I've replaced him with Ilaiyaraja who is known to be a religious Hindu. Subrahmanya Bharathy was a social-reformer; true, he was religious but there was nothing unique abt it as most Brahmins of his time were religious people.
Details about Bharathiyar not being unique is not a valid argument. Along with his social poems, he is a protege in Hindu literature. Many are misguided of him being anti-Hindu, but he was against caste system in Hinduism. I am fine to replace his pic.

Coverage: The article presents a rosy picture of Hinduism and Hindus in Tamil Nadu. There is no mention of recorded persecutions by Malik Kafur and Madurai Sultanate. The article should also give details abt the Self-Respect Movement. -RaviMy Tea Kadai 04:54, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Self respect movement is more towards caste system (though predominantly in Hinduism). So will expand the caste system in Hinduism. I am looking out for comprehensive sources - most online sources are polarized. S Sriram(talk - my page - contribs) 15:09, 25 December 2011 (UTC)ssriram_mt[reply]
True, Self-Respect movement was towards the caste system, but a lot of political experts feel that it was also an Anti-Hindu moement.-RaviMy Tea Kadai 02:26, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Was Thiruvalluvar a Hindu?

[edit]

I couldn't find any reliable literary/journalistic source which states that Thiruvalluvar was a Hindu. The Thirukkural is considered to be a secular piece of work with no mention of any specific deity or religion. And it is utterly misleading to include his picture at the top of the article. I shall be removing it. - Nirinsanity (talk) 06:12, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thirukural 610 and 1103 mentions Lord Vishnu. Some kurals like 10 and 398 also suggest his belief in Re-birth which shows he had Hindu belief. Kamil Zvelebil and JJ Glazov says that Thiruvalluvar is a Hindu by Faith and also state that Valluvar has undoubtedly translated Sanskrit texts such as Arthasastra into Tamil.[1] Sastri676 (talk) 04:32, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
