In India, especially in the Villages one age-old system of "NAATTAAMAI"( Head of the Village-Leaders-team) functions as the Local judge against the the complaints or disputes between any two or more members of the Village-Society. This Naattaamai-team declare judgements and even punishments at their discretion.Off late we hear several cases of Callousness and High-handedness too....

SHOULD THIS "NAATTAAMAI" SYSTEM BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE IN THE MODERN SOCIETY TOO?

  ¾¡úò¾ôÀ𧼡á? (Oppressed) ?.... ¾¡úò¾¢ì ¦¸¡ñ§¼¡Ã¡ (Self- Denigrators)?
  
  //...SRINIVAS:... PLEASE DO NOT POSE AS ONE WHO IS VERY MATURE AND ABOVE SUCH CONTROVERSIES ... WHEN YOUR FAMILY GETS TARGETTED FOR PETTY REASONS .. U WOULD REALIZE WHAT I AM SAYING.//
  
  My dear Friend Mr. Rahul, ... please do not throw such a SWEEPING-COMMENT... on anybody.... especially on a person you do not know at all ...
  
  Can you judge the worth of a person, an Indian Senior-Citizen... who started his primary school studies... taught to pray... "God save our King....
  
  ...and have seen both the EXTREMITIES OF LIFE... unjustly suffered for major part of his life ... along with his innocent family members ....
  
  ... Unduly punished.. and still is able to walk abreast by means of his blotless and bright History coupled with firm Life-principles... being an acclaimed Result-oriented Executive ....
  
  ... who rose up only by HARDWORK, CLEAN HEART & HAND.... all through his long life to his present bald-headed state ....?...
  
  Dear Friend.... I have confronted the worst ordeals.... which you mean.
  
  // ..... RABID FANATICAL FEELINGS AS U SAY ... IS WELL DESERVED WHEN THE SOCIAL MILLEAU IN TAMILNADU IS EXTREMELY FANATIC TOWARDS ONE COMMUNITY FOR NO LOGICAL REASON .....//
  
  I understand your reasoning and hurt-feelings... which is quite natural... But please do not show your anger towards me... without knowing my life-background, thoughts, approach and my personal pragmatic reaction on this matter.
  
  The point You have raised,.... I have already answered hereabove in detail... Further I reiterate as already mentioned... it is nothing but JEALOUSY.... These people want to come up in life without gaining adequate professional knowledge nor standing at par with other citizens of India conforming to the Spirit of the Indian Constitution framed impartially and optimistically by the great Scholar Dr. Ambedkar , keeping in mind the Social-Backwardness of the DOWNTRODDEN.
  
  He took up the matter on both the sides of Oppressors as well as the Oppressed.
  
  According to him.... Brahmins were never the Oppressors notably ....
  
  Dr. Ambedkar and Mr. Kamaraj used to ask .. History will speak as to how much abundantly this small extent of the noble community Brahmins (barring a few exceptions) has helped several Downtrodden people to come up ... just based on the Humanitarian principle.... when compared to the other so called Forward communities ...
  
  Let these people ponder ... as to how much other Communities have helped eradicating the INHUMAN-OPPRESSION by means of Hegemony on another section of the nationals...
  
  ... just on the basis of their Community by birth... and just because they have accepted to perform Menial-jobs for the Common benefit of the Society.
  
  Why should these so called the present ¾¡úò¾ô À𧼡÷ (Thaazhththappattoar) not follow the Healthy examples laid down by the Great Indians like Dr. Ambedkar, Mr. K.R.Narayanan and such others?
  
  All of us irrespective of our Castes by birth, have equal regard and admiration towards such exemplary Luminaries of India, as much as others of their Community.
  
  Dr. Ambedkar used to address his Community-people, the Downtrodden and categorically advise them ....
  
  " For Heaven's sake do not treat your Community by birth as YOUR INBORN SPECIAL QUALIFICATION ... to be regarded all through your life... in preference ... or dominating on other communities... just on the BASIS OF BIRTH.... an unhealthy proposition and suicidal-perpetuation for any Community...
  
  ... the preferential position I have made possible ONLY ON A TEMPORARY BASIS which if continued will be detrimental to your interests... rather suicidal. All of you must take advantage of this temporary avenue to advance yourselves and further stand at par with other communities."within the Target-period fixed in the Constitution
  
  These people ignored his advice and want to have Perpetual Domination over other Communities for ever and ever... taking undue advantage of Dr. Ambedkar's Humanitarian consideration ... provisionally.
  
  They want to earn easily putting forth least efforts towards their profession or occupation ....
  
  We can see how their various leaders speak in and outside the State-Assemblies as well as in the Lok Sabha.
  
  I know.. since personally seen... as to how some such people who have easily acquired Educational Qualification on the strength of their Community of birth without the matching professional knowledge... and got employed in india as well as Overseas countries like Gulf-Countries and USA ... are facing the miserable situations every day and almost every moment while dealing with not only their bosses but also with their assistants and even workers... due to their inefficiency or lack of even the rudimentary knowledge in their job of employment...
  
  I used to pity and help them as far as possible on Humanitarian grounds since I found them to be the misguided souls by their Self-centered Community-leaders.

  Mr. John
  ====================================
  but this yavarum kelir attitude----
  
  has it not led the tamil to loose their tribal identity,loose their territory.loose the very uniqueness and individuality of the tamil race?
  
  we accept and allow other cultures and traditions easily and adopt
  =====================================
  
  Thanks Mr. John .... A Good Question with Valid proofs in Reality...
  
  ... a Contra-Indication by Negative-Consequences on a HEALTHY-ENDEAVOUR...
  
  .. based on POSITIVE-THINKING (by Tamilians) ....
  
  ... a Hearty- Approach by means of WISDOM...
  
  ... the Pinnacle-Might of the Supreme-Creature of God ....
  
  .. as the RUDIMENTARY PRINCIPLE / IDEAL FOR MANKIND
  
  Why So? ..... Were / Are the Tamilians BASIC-OUTLOOK and CULTURE of
  
  ... YAADHUM- OORAE... YAAVARUM KAELHIR... policy... is either ...
  
  .... WRONG?... ABSURD?.. COWARDICE?... IMPRACTICABLE? ... UNREALISTIC? ...
  
  .... SELF-DECEPTIVE? ... SUICIDAL?
  
  History shows ... that the Tamilians have been Unduly ... EXPLOITED ... by Others...
  
  ... ALL ALONG (by Time) ...
  
  .. ALL OVER THE WORLD (by Extent)....
  
  ... and in all RESPECTS (by the Quantity / Magnitude) ...
  
  ... EVER AND EVER ... UNENDINGLY.!!.... SO FAR!
  
  Why..So?..... The Primary Answer is VERY SIMPLE....
  
  °÷ þÃñÎ À𼡠Üò¾¡ÊìÌì ¦¸¡ñ¼¡ð¼õ
  (Oor irandu pattaa?.... Koothaadikku Kondaattam)
  
  Ever since the days of Inception of Tamil-Kingdom over the whole of South-India... with the Head-quarters at Madurai, three Tamilian brothers of one Single-family and Ancestry broke it into Three pieces.. of Lands... as Chaera, Soazha, Paandiya... for 3 dynasties.
  
  (Whereas ONE SINGLE RULER... Krishna-Devaraya.. could rule over the whole of South-India comprising of the present Tamilnadu, Andhra-Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Parts of Orissa and Maharashtra... SUCCESSFULLY AND HAPPILY... for one and all... as a MODEL-EMPEROR!)
  
  Even amongst those 3 Tamilian-brothers... were they happy?...
  
  ... doing their best to the people?
  
  Finally the SARASWATHI - INCARNATE Tamil-Poet ... the Great Avvaiyaar...
  
  Intervened and settled their Scores... amicably...
  
  Did they Continue?... and set the Good Example of Tamilian-Culture?
  
  Just for a petty sake... one Maharashtrian-Ruler was invited to support the Soalaa King...
  
  ... and He has settled in Tamilnadu... with his dynasty... of Sherfoji Maharaja...
  
  Indeed we all Indians are highly INDEBTED to Maharashtrians especially their Rulers ...
  
  Who only... have played a major Role by persistent STRUGGLE...
  
  ... confronting the Foreign Invaders and thus SAVED INDIA...
  
  ... and PRESERVED ITS IDENTITY AS BHARATH...!!
  
  ... But... amongst the Tamilian-Kings...was it not an UNNECESSARY Family-Fight?...
  
  ... leading to the Radical-failure of.... the GREAT TAMILIANS PRINCIPLE...
  
  ... Yaadhum Oorae-Yaavarum Kaelhir... Was it not a MOCKERY?
  
  .. when You have FAILED WITHIN YOUR OWN FAMILY ????
  
  And further to the present days... Where have our Political Leaders have ..
  
  ... LEAD THE TAMILIAN PEOPLE?...
  
  ... Towards TRUE ADVANCEMENT ? ... or Towards SELF- DENIGRATION?.. or..
  
  ... Ultimate direction towards the RUIN OF THE INNOCENT TAMILIAN SOCIETY????...
  
  ... Following the High "GOSPEL" of "Yaadhum Oorae- Yaavarum-Kaelhir"... !!!!..
