Thiruvallur, A Jain? that's funny.

Thirukkural was not written in era of Kalabras. Although exact period when Thirukkural was written has not been established yet, it's a common knowledge here, in tamil nadu, that it might have been written atleast before 1st century. Although I can argue Thiruvalluvar is not a Jain in any means, Knowing Thirukkural a little I feel it's futile to argue which religion he might have belonged to. Those who know Thirukkural atleast a bit won't confine Valluvar into any religion for that matter. Thirukkural is praised as "Mankind's universal moral code". Likely said so because it suits for any or all religions, any or all people of this world. 182.65.140.76 (talk) 03:15, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
