  She being a Aryan in no way represents the Dravidians .Just like Bollywood & Hindi does in no way represent the South.
  
  She is the glory of the North Indian Aryans .Aryans have hijacked Indian identity.

  Maruthu Pandyar's 1801 Independence Proclamation was the first such proclamation against the British. But you will not find any mention of it or of Maruthu Pandyar in Indian History texts funded or approved by the Government of India. Those books center about the Hindi heartland and nearby regions. History of regions farther from it, be it the northeast or the south, are ignored. Generations of students from outside of Tamil Nadu come out of school without knowing anything about Tamil Nadu while we are taught all about the northern kings and their exploits. In fact, history texts used at Indian government affiliated schools (CBSE schools) located in Tamil Nadu teach little about Tamil Nadu. Thus even students from these Tamil Nadu schools come out without knowing the history of Tamil Nadu. This is the sad state of Tamil Nadu in the post-British era. We will discuss it more in Section 7 (Part III).
  
  Some Tamil Members of Parliament requested the Indian Government to issue a postage stamp to commemorate the 200-th anniversary of the hanging of Maruthu Pandyar in October 2001.The Indian Government said it had to study it. They are still studying. The Indian Government took much less time to decide to test a nuclear bomb than to study whether to issue a postage stamp honoring Maruthu Pandyar! This government had issued postage stamps in honor of Jhansi Rani and other northern monarchs who rebelled against the British (and lost). Maruthu Pandyar fought the British (and lost) decades before Jhansi Rani but the Indian Government would not issue a stamp in his honor. Tamils are only third class citizens in this post-British India under Hindian rule.
  
  The North Indians only seek their own glory.Still proud of Hindi India.

  Tamilian,
  
  There is no point in blaming the northies for this.
  
  The Tamilnadu text books(following state board syllabus) are framed by a committe constituted by the Tamilnadu Government.
  
  What these fellows are doing all along or even now???
  
  Throughout India , this is the case.
  
  Atleast in north, the process of writing the Indian History has been initiated by the BJP government, but in most state governments , the process is yet to start.
  
  Maruthu Pandiar's proclamation starts with prostrating at the feet of the Brahmins of Srirangam.Do you think the dravidian parties will ever allow it to be made public???
  
  We are doctoring History as per our local politics.This is the reason.
  
  As far as Stamp Issue is concerned, the fault lies with our Memeber of Parliaments.No point in blaming the centre as there are always various MPs from other states who lobby unitedly for their state personalities.
  
  What has the TN govt did for bringing out the history of Marudu Pandiars???
  
  The only worthy book on Maruthu Pandiars has been written by a Nadar who went to London on his own expense and read the British records and published that.This book wasnt even bought by the state government when all sundry books are purchased for the libraries or get governmental grant from Tamilnadu Government!

  My god! is there any way we get civilized more with time and education? why are we always travel back in time? (just remembered the joke abt an educated cannibal who eats with spoon and fork)...Just an appreciation for a lady who achieved something we can only dream of. I think, people just logs in this forum just for the heck of fighting. Or is it some perverted way of getting people's attention by telling something shocking or negative? At least happy to know some illiterate Indians who can appreciate her with out even bothering abt Dravidian and Aryan....Ignorance is really a bliss ..........
