ARYAN INVASION THEORY IS FAKE..........

2011-12-25T18:18:00.001+05:30

BBC proves vivekananda right

BBC proves Vivekananda right after a century...

- S. Gurumurthy

''Do not believe such silly things as there was a race of mankind in
South India called Dravidians differing widely from another race in
northern India called the Aryans. This is entirely unfounded.'' This is
not from a saffron scholar of the 21st century. But Swami Vivekananda
said it before an audience in the then Madras city as the 19th century
was drawing to a close.

Not knowing where the bright Aryans came from, ''of late, there was an
attempt made to prove,'' he laughed and said: ''Aryans lived on the
Swiss lakes.'' Yet the theory trotted out by F.Max Mueller in 1848
tracing the history of Hinduism to the invasion of indigenous people by
Aryans around 1500 BC has obsessed India since then.

It is now well known that the scholarly work of Max Mueller, once
considered independent, was bought by the East India Company, and was
thus a colonial view. Even as Swami Vivekananda dismissed Max Mueller's
theory as silly, he lauded Mueller's work on Indian scriptures as next
only to that of Sayanacharya.

Max Mueller's theory dominated the Indian academic and intellectual
debate and politics of the 20th century and wrought havoc in the
national psyche since then. It divided and disturbed the national mind;
even threatened to sever southern India from the rest. Any dissent
towards this view is even now castigated and isolated, as a sort of
intellectual terrorism holds sway. But sustained and strenuous work by
dedicated scholars has decimated this silly theory over the last
hundred years.

Yet, billions of pages of instruction in schools and colleges have,
since Max Mueller expounded this view, enduringly poisoned and damaged
the Indian psyche. And here comes a confession from a source linked to
the very perpetrators of this intellectual crime, the ex-colonisers,
that the theory, which Swami Vivekananda dismissed as silly, seems
silly after all!

Weeks back the BBC website came out with the startling disclosure that
''there is now ample evidence to show that Max Mueller and those who
followed him were wrong.'' Answering ''why the theory is no longer
accepted,'' the BBC says that ''the Aryan invasion theory was based on
archaeological, linguistic and ethnological evidence' and ''later
research has either discredited this evidence or provided new evidence
that combined with the earlier evidence makes other explanations
likely.''

More important, the BBC admits that ''modern historians of the area no
longer believe that such invasions had such great influence on Indian
history.'' Even more important, it says that ''it is generally accepted
that the Indian history shows a continuity of progress from the
earliest times to today.'' More, ''the changes brought to India by
other cultures'' are no longer thought to be a major ingredient of the
development of Hinduism.

The confession is an honest one. For the BBC does not only agree with
Swami Vivekananda, it also points to the 'dangers' of the theory. It
says that the theory ''denies the Indian origin of India's predominant
culture''; ''gives credit for the Indian culture to the invaders from
elsewhere.'' It ''teaches that the most revered Hindu scriptures are
not actually Indian'' and ''devalues India's culture by portraying it
as less ancient than it actually is.''

It goes further and says that the 'theory was not just wrong', but
'included unacceptably racist ideas.' It suggested or asserted that
Indian culture was not a culture in its own right but a synthesis of
elements from other cultures; that Hinduism was not authentically
Indian in origin, but the result of cultural imperialism; that Indian
culture was static and only changed under outside influence; that the
Dravidians were a nobody and got their faith from the Aryan invaders;
that the indigenous people could acquire new ideas only from invaders
or other races; that race was a biological, not a social, concept and
thus rationalised ranking people in a hierarchy and the caste system;
that the north Indian people descended from invaders from Europe, and
so socially were closer to the British, thus rationalising colonialist
presence; that the British were reforming India like the Aryans did
thousands of years ago, thus justifying the role and the status of the
Raj. Finally it says, ''it downgraded the intellectual status of India
and its people by giving falsely a later date to the elements of Indian
science and culture.'' Believe it?

This confession of wrong done to India and high praise for India's
endogamous antiquity from an unlikely source approves of not just what
Swami Vivekananda said over a century ago, but validates the 'saffron'
view. This endangers the 'secular' scholarship whose bread and butter
is now under threat. How will they continue to assert that India is
more a khichadi than a continuity of undated antiquity?

How will they go on asserting that there is nothing Indian about India;
that there was never anything called India at all; that there is today
an India courtesy the invaders - the Aryans, Turks, Moghuls or the
British; that thanks to the British we are a nation....

Yes, the secular scholarship is in deep trouble. But they have a solid
reason to feel assured that it will take decades for this truth to
overcome the billions of pages of falsehood printed and circulated so
far. For the grains of truth to emerge from this mountain of falsehood
will take a life's time.

Communism in a capsule!!

2011-12-16T09:03:00.001+05:30

This is a short story..........

An economics professor at a local University made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on the socialism principles".. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A....

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were HAPPY. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.

(substituting grades for Rupees - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).

Remember, there IS a test coming up. The elections.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

புதுக்கோட்டை மாவட்டம் கொத்தமங்கலம் கிராமத்தில் வசிக்கும் விவசாயி
விஜயகுமார் தனக்கு வழங்கப்பட்ட இலவச தொலைக்காட்சிப் பெட்டியை திருப்பிக்
கொடுத்து இலவசத் திட்டங்களுக்கு சாட்டையடி கொடுத்திருக்கிறார்.

கடந்த 23-ம் தேதி கொத்தமங்கலம் கிராமத்தில் புதுக்கோட்டை மாவட்ட தி.மு.க.
செயலாளர் பெரியண்ண அரசு தலைமையில் இலவச வண்ணத் தொலைக்காட்சி வழங்கும்
விழா நடந்து கொண்டிருந்தது.அப்போது பயனாளிகள் பட்டியலில் இருந்து
விஜயகுமார் என்ற பெயர் வாசிக்கப்பட்டதும்,கொத்தமங்கலம் மணவாளன் தெருவைச்
சேர்ந்த விஜயகுமார் என்ற விவசாயி மேடையேறினார்.

அவருக்கு வழங்கப்பட்ட தொலைக்காட்சிப் பெட்டியை வாங்கிக் கொண்டார்.ஒரு
விநாடி அங்கே நின்றவர்,டி.வி.யை பெரியண்ண அரசுவிடமே திருப்பிக்
கொடுத்துவிட்டு,கூடவே ஒரு மனுவையும் கொடுத்தார்.ஏதோ கோரிக்கை மனு
கொடுக்கிறார் என்று அரசுவும் சாதாரணமாக வாங்கிப் படித்தார்.

அதில் ‘மனிதனுக்கு டி.வி. என்பது பொழுதுபோக்கு சாதனம்தான். ஆனால் அதைவிட
முக்கியமானது உணவு, உடை, உறைவிடம். தமிழகத்தில் மொத்தம் 88 துறைகள்
இருக்கின்றன. இவை தன்னிறைவு அடைந்து விட்டனவா? குறிப்பாக, விவசாயிகளைப்
பாதிக்கும் மின்சாரத்துறை தன்னிறைவு அடைந்து விட்டதா?

துறைகள் எல்லாம் தன்னிறைவு அடைந்த பிறகு மிதமிஞ்சிய பணத்தில் இந்த
டி.வி.யை வழங்கியிருந்தால் மகிழ்ச்சியாக இருந்திருக்கும். இதற்கு மட்டும்
எங்கிருந்து நிதி வந்தது?இந்தியாவின் முதுகெலும்பான விவசாயிகள்
தமிழகத்தில் அதிகம் வசிக்கிறார்கள். டி.வி. வழங்கும் பணத்தை வைத்து
விவசாயிகளுக்குத் தேவையான மின்சாரத்தைக் கொடுத்திருக்கலாம்.

தமிழகத்திலேயே மிகவும் பின்தங்கிய மாவட்டத்தைக் கண்டறிந்து போதுமான
மின்சாரத்தை தடையின்றிக் கொடுத்து அந்த ஒரு மாவட்டத்தையாவது தன்னிறைவு
அடையச் செய்திருக்கலாம். இலவசம் என்பது எங்களுக்கு வேண்டாம். தரமான
மருத்துவம், கல்வி, மும்முனை மின்சாரம் மற்றும் வேலை வாய்ப்புகளை
வழங்கினாலே போதும்.

அதை வைத்து நாங்களே சம்பாதித்து டி.வி.முதல் கார் வரை அனைத்தையும்
வாங்கிக் கொள்வோம். எங்களுக்கு என்ன தேவையோ அதை நாங்களே பூர்த்தி செய்து
தன்னிறைவு அடைந்து விடுவோம்.

விலைவாசி உயர்வு, எரிபொருள் விலை உயர்வு, குடிநீர் பற்றாக்குறை, லஞ்சம்,
ஊழல் என்று ஆயிரக்கணக்கான குறைகள் இருக்கும்போது ஒரு நடமாடும் பிணமாக
நான் எப்படி டி.வி. பார்க்க முடியும்? எனவே எனக்கு இந்த டி.வி. வேண்டாம்.
முதல்வர் கருணாநிதி மீது எனக்கு மிகுந்த மதிப்பும், மரியாதையும், அன்பும்
உள்ளது.

எனவே,இந்த டி.வி.யை அவருக்கே அன்பளிப்பாகக் கொடுக்க இந்த சந்தர்ப்பத்தைப்
பயன்படுத்திக் கொள்கிறேன்.அவர் இதை ஏற்றுக் கொள்ளாவிட்டால் என் மனம்
மேலும் வேதனைப்படும். அரசு மற்றும் அதிகாரிகள் தங்கள் கடமைகளை சரியாகச்
செய்தாலே போதும். இந்தியா வல்லரசாகிவிடும்’ என்று நீண்டது அந்த மனு.

இதைப் படித்த பெரியண்ண அரசு முகத்தில் ஈயாடவில்லை.அருகில் இருந்த
அதிகாரிகள் அதிர்ந்து போனார்கள். என்றாலும் அந்த மனுவையும் டி.வி.யையும்
வாங்கி வைத்துக் கொண்டு மேலும் பரபரப்பை உண்டாக்காமல் விஜயகுமாரை அனுப்பி
வைத்தார் அரசு.

இதன் பின்னர் விஜயகுமாரிடம் பேசினோம்.

“நான் ஒரு சாதாரண விவசாயி. விவசாயிகள் எல்லாம் மின்வெட்டால்

இருபது லட்சம் கோடி செலவாகும்.இதை வைத்து 88 துறைகளையும் தன்னிறைவு

அவன் பொழப்பே சிரிப்பா சிரிக்கும்போது அவன் டி.வி. பாத்து வேற
சிரிக்கணுமாக்கும்.அதுனாலதான் நான் டி.வி.யை திருப்பிக் கொடுத்தேன்’’
என்றார்.

டி.வி.யை திருப்பிக் கொடுத்த கையோடு முதல்வர் கருணாநிதிக்கு கடிதம்
ஒன்றையும் எழுதியிருக்கிறார் விஜயகுமார்.

அந்தக் கடிதத்தில் ‘கொத்தமங்கலத்துக்கு வந்த டி.வி.க்கள் 2519. அதில்
2518 மட்டும்தான் வழங்கப்பட வேண்டும். எனக்கான ஒரு டி.வி.யை எனது அன்புப்
பரிசாக நீங்கள் ஏற்றுக் கொள்ள வேண்டும்’என்று குறிப்பிட்டு அதை ஃபேக்ஸ்
செய்துள்ளார்.

மக்களிடம் இருந்து சுரண்டப்படும் பணத்தில் மக்களுக்கே கொடுக்கப்படும்
லஞ்சம் தான் இலவசங்கள் என்பதை விவசாயி விஜயகுமார் பொட்டில் அடித்தாற்போல்
தெளிவுபடுத்தியுள்ளார். மக்களை சோம்பேறிகளாக்கும் இலவசத்துக்கு எதிராக
போர் தொடுத்திருக்கும் அவரை பாராட்டத்தான் வார்த்தைகளே கிடைக்கவில்லை...!

Yaradhu sollamal nenjalli povadhu - Nenjamellam Neeye

2009-12-31T22:31:00.006+05:30

There is a programme in vividhbharathi called 'guldasta' - a program for ghazals. It has been on air for more than 30 years as far as i know. Nowadays it is aired from 9.00pm to 9.30 pm. Though not a regular listener, I do give it a ear now and then.

If it should be given a name in thamizh, it can be named 'shankar ganesh neram'. You may be knowing that all fm channels in tamilnadu and even satelitte radio like 'KL radio' have programmes like "maestro neram" featuring raja's songs alone.

But the above case is a different one. Not because shankar ganesh have composed innumerable ghazals, but because they have lifted innumerable urdu ghazals and used it in their name, the programme shall be named as 'sg neram'.

The famous lifts are 'megame megame', 'tooth paste iruku brush iruku' etc. Another famous song 'yaaradhu sollamal nenjalli povadhu' from the movie 'nenjamellam neeye' is also a lift from a ghazal. All tfm listeners have unanimously agreed that it is a lift and there was no second opinion about it since sg's fame was such. But there are no web references to the original song. Also this time shankar ganesh have not done a 'ee adichaan copy' and thats why i think most tfm listeners could not pinpoint to this song.

Yesterday, i stumbled upon the original song aired on the program 'guldasta'. It has been years since i listened to this song.

This is a ghazal 'Main hawa hoon' by Hussain brothers from their debut album and interestingly its title also is 'guldasta', released in the year 1980.

Kadhal Kanavugale - Nanri Meendum Varuga

2009-11-30T12:42:00.007+05:30

Casually i happened to watch this movie while browsing channels. Thamizhan tv beamed 'nanri meendum varuga', a film directed by mouli.

prathap caps dual roles in this movie. the first one, an industrialist, falls in love with suhasini and follows her wherever she goes and at last wins her love and they get engaged.

but fate has other plans and in a lorry accident he kicks the bucket. suhasini loses her mental balance and embraces tamil cinema's most favourite health condition 'amnesia'.

the second avatar of prathap is a telugu actor. when in the hospital she accidentally sees a photo of actor prathap in a magazine and starts recollecting her memories.

but, since she had lost her senses even before prathap had died (at the very thought of a lorry might hit him), she did not know that he is dead yet.

her relatives convince actor prathap to pose as the original prathap to make suhasini convalesce.

after initial hesitation he obliges and in the due course really falls in love with suhasini and they get married at last.

there are some hilarious sequences about the film industry. eventhough not as intelligent as 'server sundaram' it evokes humour. mouli has given voice for both the prathaps. jaishankar, visu, rajini, jaichitra all show their faces for a few seconds. there is one beautiful song involving the first prathap and suhasini sung by spb and sjanaki - kaadhal kanavugale neeradum en ninaivugale. shyam once again gives a great melody and not to mention about spb and sj's beautiful improvisations.

//UPDATE ON 18.9.2011:

CAME ACROSS A GOOD VERSION

I love you[1]
UPDATE END//
http://www.raaga.com/play/?id=42764

i tried to catch it in my cell phone. could get hold of only 2 minutes.

and there is another song 'pacha molaga', a good mockery of item songs in films. particularly the lines 'pachadi vachen kichadi vachen' with jayamalini's trademark hip gyrations.

medaiyil naane raja by deepan chakravarthi reminds 'dhol bhaaje dhol bhaaje' of hum dil de chuke sanam.eventhough this tamil film came more than 10-15 years before the hindi one, (i am well used to the inimitable notoriety of shankar ganesh's plagiarism), i am forced to conclude there is an original tune for both these songs.

REVERSE MIGRATION - THE GANDHIAN WAY

2009-11-19T18:05:00.002+05:30

THIS IS AN ARTICLE BY MOHAN DHARIA THAT APPEARED IN TODAY'S HINDU (19.11.2009). ONE OF MY DREAMS IS TO GO BACK TO SOME RURAL AREA, SETTLE THERE AND ENJOY THE UNPOLLUTED AIR. AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY........I THINK.

An action plan for the future

Mohan Dharia

Only a process of reverse migration based on the Gandhian model can save India’s cities, and also rural India.

A report prepared by the United Nations Development Programme reveals that in India’s big cities more than 40 per cent of the people live in slums. Some of them have reasonable levels of income, but cannot afford other housing. For many reasons including the population load, slums are unhygienic. It is high time the root causes of unplanned and ugly urbanisation, and the destruction of rural life, are identified.

More than 40 per cent of Indians live in the urban areas and less than 60 per cent in the villages — and this dichotomy is growing. Even basic amenities such as water, streets, drainage, electricity, educational or medical facilities, and playgrounds are often not available.

On the eve of Independence, Kolkata and Mumbai were the only Indian cities with a population of more than a million. In 1980, the number of such cities was hardly 10. At that time, as the Union Minister for Planning this writer had insisted that without provision of adequate water, sufficient area for the construction of houses and infrastructure facilities, no city should be allowed to have a population of more than a million. But this was ridiculed. During the last 30 years, the craze for urbanisation under the garb of “growth” has spawned unplanned, ugly and congested cities in India. The only solution is to de-congest the cities, for instance Mumbai, moving out mills that make cotton, edible oil, vanaspati and so on that are dependent on raw materials coming from the rural areas, and stop any further influx into the cities. Simultaneously, population growth should be checked.

Satellite cities and towns where the raw materials are available should be created. These should be planned with facilities for housing, education and health. Commercial, industrial, educational and entertainment complexes should be built, surrounded by a green belt that is up to 2 km in breadth.

London witnessed such an experiment after the Second World War. The London Municipal Corporation succeeded in voluntarily moving out 15 lakh people to new modern satellite cities.

It is necessary to explore the basic cause of the influx from the rural areas. For want of employment opportunities, medical and educational facilities and infrastructure such as roads and communication in the rural areas, people prefer to come to the cities, particularly in search of employment.

Along with unplanned urbanisation, rural life is being destroyed. To prevent migration, the villages should be enriched. The 6,00,000 villages in the country should become self-reliant and have adequate employment opportunities, educational facilities, medical services, communication facilities and roads. They should become green and clean.

This may appear to be a dream. The organisation named Vanarai has sought successfully to prevent the influx into the cities. In fact, several families have returned from city slums to their own villages as these had become self-reliant. Only such a process of reverse migration based on the Gandhian model can save our cities, and also rural India.

Our land, water, cattle wealth, forests, the 7,000-km coastline, vast biomass resources, the bright sun, and species including medicinal plants are India’s real strength. Ever since Independence, these natural resources have remained under-developed. By effectively developing them, it has become possible for Vanarai to achieve reverse migration.

Water is the key issue for any sort of development process. India gets a significant quantity of water from rain or the melting of Himalayan ice. Despite investing thousands of crores of rupees on major, medium or minor dams, India has not been able to harvest even 10 per cent of the water that is available. It is possible to conserve every drop of rainwater that falls, take adequate care of drinking water and still make water available for protective or seasonal irrigation through a scientific watershed management programme.
Wasted lands not wastelands

Nearly half of India’s geographical area of 32.8 million square km is degraded land or wasteland. These are not wastelands but wasted lands. It is possible to make them productive with modern technology and scientific micro-watershed management. It is also possible to increase productivity. Compared to India’s rate of about 2,000 kg a hectare, countries such as China have a productivity of the order of 4,000 kg a ha. In some other countries this varies from 5,000 kg to 6,000 kg a ha. India has huge cattle wealth: there is one animal for every two persons. Here again productivity is low with respect to milk, wool, mutton, eggs and so on. There is tremendous scope to increase yields. Fisheries in inland water reservoirs and along the 7,000-km seashore holds significant potential. Efforts are needed to boost fisheries on a much wider, scientific scale.

Though 22 per cent of the land in India belongs to the Forest Department, nearly half of the forest land has no green cover. Similar is the case with natural resources including biomass and solar, wind and wave power. By developing natural resources, villages could be made self-reliant. And better basic education with contemporary computer literacy and medical facilities could be provided.

In villages like Gawadewadi near Pune, Varandh in the Konkan and Zari in Marathwada, Vanarai has achieved reverse migration. Many families have returned to their villages. They now earn better incomes and have a better quality of life in an environment-friendly atmosphere.

With due respect, this author disagrees with the opinion of many eminent scientists that India will suffer scarcity of water and food as a result of global warming. All natural resources including manpower in India can be fully developed. There is adequate drinking water and food in India. There cannot be any scarcity. On the contrary, India has the potential to feed other countries also to some extent.

The decongestion of cities by the creation of environment-friendly satellite cities, enrichment of villages and reverse migration are the means to save the urban areas and rebuild a clean and green rural India. This calls for vision, determination, unity and resolve on the part of all people.

I reproduce some of my posts in orkut regarding தமிழ். posts with the name "narayanan" and without a name are mine.

தமிழ் அறிவோம்

தமிழ் தமிழ் என்று கூவி வியாபாரம் செய்யும் இக்காலத்தில் எது தமிழ், எது தமிழ் இல்லை என்பதை முதலில் தெரிந்து கொள்வோம்.

ர, ல, ட இந்த எழுத்துக்களில் ஆரம்பிப்பது தமிழ்ச்சொல்லே அல்ல.

உதாரணம் ரம்பம், லட்டு , டமாரம் போன்றவை. பெயர்ச்சொற்கள் வந்தாலும் அதன் முன் உயிரெழுத்து சேர்த்து தான் எழுத வேண்டும்.

உதாரணம்: இரவி, இலங்கை, அரங்கன். இது இலக்கணம்.

ஆனால் இன்று தமிழ் தமிழ் என்று உயிர் விடும் எவ்வளவு பேர் இப்படி எழுதுகிறார்கள். அல்லது கொதித்து எழும் இளைஞர்கள் தான் இதை எல்லாம் கண்டு கொள்கிறார்களா? தங்கள் மொழியைப் பற்றிய அறிவே இவர்களுக்கு இல்லை. ஆனால் கொதித்து எழுந்திட மட்டும் தெரியும்.

தமிழ் என்று இன்றைய இளைஞர்கள் நினைத்துக் கொண்டிருக்கும் பாதி சொற்களுக்கு மேல் தமிழ் கிடையாது. தமிழ்ச்சொல்லே ஆனாலும் அதைக் கேள்வியே படாத தலைமுறை தான் இன்று உள்ளது. இருக்கட்டும். அது அவர்கள் இஷ்டம். ஆனால் ஒன்றும் தெரியாமல் உணர்ச்சிவசப்பட மட்டும் தெரிந்தால் அவர்களை யாரும் மதிக்க மாட்டார்கள்.

சில சொற்களைப் பார்போம். நல்ல பாம்பு. இது தமிழா இல்லையா?

இதில் என்ன சந்தேகம். நல்ல என்பதும் தமிழ் வார்த்தை. பாம்பு என்பதும் தமிழ் வார்த்தை. நல்ல பாம்பு என்பதும் தமிழாகத் தானே இருக்க வேண்டும்.

அது தான் இல்லை.

சரி. அது என்ன நல்ல பாம்பு. அது யாரையும் கடிக்காதா? அல்லது அது கடித்தால் உயிர் போகாதா? யாருக்கு நல்லது அந்த பாம்பு?

நல்ல என்றால் தெலுங்கில் கருப்பு என்று அர்த்தம். நல்ல பாம்பு என்றால் கருப்பு நிறமுள்ள பாம்பு அதாவது கருநாகம் என்று அர்த்தம்.

அதே போல் தான் நல்லெண்ணெய் என்ற சொல்லும். மற்ற எண்ணெய் எல்லாம் கெட்ட எண்ணெய் என்று அர்த்தமா ? எள்ளில் இருந்து எண்ணெய் எடுத்தால் அது கருநிறத்தில் இருக்கும். அதனால் அது நல்ல எண்ணெய். அதுவே நல்லது என்று பொருள் படும் தமிழ்ச்சொல்லாய் ஏற்கப்பட்டு பின் கூட்டு விதியால் நல்லெண்ணய் ஆகிவிட்டது.

தமிழைப் படுத்தாதீர்கள்!!
தமிழ் என்பதே மிகவும் அழகான வார்த்தை.

த - வல்லினம்
மி- மெல்லினம்
ழ் - இடையினம், என்று தன் பெயரிலேயே மொழியியல் பிரயோகம் கொண்டது.

தமிழ் ரசனையுடன் இருந்தால், அதனை ரசித்து அனுபவிக்கத் தோன்றும்.

தமிழ் வெறியுடன் திரிந்தால், மற்றவர்களை அடிக்கத் தான் தோன்றும்.

பல பிறமொழி வார்த்தைகள் தமிழில் கலந்து தமிழாகிப் பல நூற்றாண்டுகள் ஆகிவிட்டன. அதை எல்லாம் தமிழ்ப்படுத்துவது என்பது, தமிழைப் படுத்துவது தான்.

டம்ளர் என்பது தமிழ் இல்லை என்பது எல்லோருக்கும் தெரியும். குவளை என்பதே சரியான வார்த்தை. ஆனால் குவளை என்பது எத்தனைப் பேருக்கு புரியும். அதை விட எளிமையான டம்ளர் என்ற சொல்லைப் பயன் படுத்தினால் என்ன குடியா முழுகி விடும். இல்லை என்றால் அதையும் விட எளிமையான கிளாஸ் என்ற தமிழ் வார்த்தையைப் பயன் படுத்தினால் போகிறது.

இது போல், ரசீது, தயார், தயாரிப்பு, தம்புரா, வாத்தியார், லிங்கம், சிவம், ஜன்னல், ஆப்பிள், அதிகாரி, தந்தம், சூரியன், சந்திரன், நட்சத்திரம், விதி, மதி, சதி, சுகம், துக்கம், டீ, காபி, என்று ஆயிரக் கணக்கான ஏன், லட்சக்கணக்கான பிறமொழி வார்த்தைகள் தமிழில் இருக்கின்றன. லட்சம் என்பதே தமிழ் கிடையாது!!

இவற்றை எல்லாம் அப்படியே உபயோகிப்பது நலமா அல்லது கஷ்டப்பட்டு இவற்றிற்கு கொட்டை வடி நீர், சுய முயற்சியால் பெற்ற தற்காப்புக் குறைவு அடைவு (aids) என்று யாருமே உபயோகப்படுத்தாத வார்த்தைகளைக் கண்டுபிடிப்பது நலமா என்று நீங்களே தீர்மானித்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள்.

தூய தமிழில் பேசுவதாக நினைத்துக் கொண்டு சில பேர் இலக்கம் என்று சொல்கிறார்கள். அது ஸம்ஸ்க்ருத வார்த்தை என்பதே தெரியாமல்.

லக்ஷ்மணன் என்பது தமிழில் இலக்குவன்.
லக்ஷ்மி என்பது தமிழில் இலக்குமி.
லக்ஷம் என்பது தமிழில் இலக்கம்.

கோடி என்பதும் அவ்வாறே. லட்சியம், அலட்சியம், சிங்காரம் என்பவையும் அவ்வாறே.

தமிழில் 247 எழுத்துக்கள் உள்ளன. ஆனால் 103 எழுத்துக்களில் தான் தமிழ் வார்த்தை ஆரம்பிக்க முடியும் என்பது நன்னூல் விதி.

ஒற்றுப் பிழை இல்லாமல் இன்று எழுதுவோர் மிக மிகக் குறைவு. அதுவும் orkut போன்ற வலைத்தளங்களில் தமிழ் படும் பாடு சொல்லி முடியாது. டைப் அடிப்பதும் கஷ்டம். பிழை நீக்குவதும் கடினம். நானே சில இடங்களில் பிழையுடன் தான் அடித்திருக்கிறேன்.

கவனித்து திருத்துவதற்குள் வேறு யாரவது post செய்து விடுவார்கள். phpbb2 போன்ற வசதியும் orkut-இல் கிடையாது எடிட் செய்வதற்கு. சில பேர் எழுதுவது செம காமெடியாக இருக்கும். ஆனால் சில சமயம் வயிறு எரியும்.

சுஜாதாவின் 'கற்றதும் பெற்றதும்' படித்தேன்.
அவர், தமிழ்நாட்டின் "டாப் டென் மோசடி" என்று பட்டியலிட்டு
இவ்வாறு கூறுகிறார்.

"ஒன்பதாவது இடத்தில் இருப்பது - தமிழ் அனங்கு, தமிழ் தாய்,
தமிழ் அன்னை என்று மொழியை வைத்து மக்களை
உணர்ச்சிவசப்படுத்தி மொழியை வளர விடாமல் தடுப்பது ...
மொழி ஒரு செய்தி தொடர்பு சாதனம் என்பதை மக்களுக்கு
புரிய விடாமல் 'தாயை பழித்தாலும் தமிழை பழித்தால்
தாங்க மாட்டேன்' போன்ற அபத்தங்களுடன் மொழி தூய்மை.

முதல் குரங்கு பேசியது தமிழ், தொல்காப்பியம் கி.மு ஐயாயிரம்
ஆண்டு எழுதப்பட்டது போன்ற அபத்தங்களை வைத்து உசுப்பப்படுகிற
ஜல்லியடி, இதற்கேற்றபடி எழுதப்படுகிற ஆராச்சி கட்டுரைகள்,
மேடை பேச்சுகள்"

என்று 30 ஆம் பகுதியில் கூறியுள்ளார். அவர் இதனை எழுதிய வருடம்
2000. இன்றும் அது பொருந்துவது காலக்கொடுமை. .

போலி தமிழ்ப் பற்று

மக்கள் தொலைக்காட்சிக்கு என்று ஒரு தனி வகைத் தமிழ் இருக்கிறது. எல்லோரும் ஒரு மாதிரி தமிழ் பேசினால் இவர்கள் தனியாக ஒரு தமிழ் பேசுவார்கள்.

'மத்திய' என்பது வடமொழியாம். அதனால் 'நடுவன்' அரசு என்று தான் சொல்ல வேண்டுமாம். ஆனால் அதிகாரி என்ற வார்த்தை தமிழ் வார்த்தையாம். அதை அப்படியே வைத்து கொள்வார்களாம்.

இன்னும் சில பத்திரிகைகள் இருக்கின்றன. செயலலிதா என்றும் சூலை மாதம், சனவரி மாதம் என்றும் தான் அச்சடிப்பார்கள். ஜ என்பது தமிழ் கிடையாதாம்.

ஆனால் ஸ்டாலின் என்று அச்சடிப்பார்கள். அப்போது மட்டும் ஸ தமிழ் எழுத்து ஆகி விடும்.

கார் என்று சொன்னால் தமிழ்ப் பற்று எப்படி வெளிப்படும். மகிழ்வுந்து என்றால் தான் நீ அக்மார்க் தமிழன். ஆனால் ஆப்பிள் பழத்தை ஆப்பிள் என்று தான் சொல்ல வேண்டும். ஏன் என்றால் இன்னும் இவர்களுக்கு சரியான வார்த்தை கிடைக்க வில்லை. செம்பேரிக்காய் என்று சொன்னாலும் சொல்வார்கள். அப்படி அவர்கள் கண்டுபிடிக்கும் வரைக்கும் ஆப்பிள் என்று சொல்லிக் கொள்ளுங்கள்.

இது போல் இன்னும் எத்தனையோ உதாரணங்கள்.

all arising out of identity crisis. போலி அடையாளங்கள் இருக்கிற வரைக்கும் இப்படிப் பட்ட முட்டாள் தனங்கள் செய்யத் தான் வேண்டி இருக்கும்.

agreed
we need to develope our language . still miles to go for that more and more kalaisorkal thevai.language grows at the rate at which it assimilates external words and keeps up its individual splendour .TAMIL is no no doubt growing phenominally except by certain pseudo dravidian politicians and araivekkakattu pvt tv channel comperers

Feb 10

@vaidyanathan, thanks for ur reply. sanskrit and thamizh both are god given languages.

by sanskrit i mean the deva bhasha and not the sanskritam modified by panini. panini streamlined the language in vedas and named it sanskrit.

and lord shiva himself gifted agasthiya rishi with the language thamizh.

but any language can grow only if it accomodates new words and phrases from other languages and thamizh has done that tremendously.

if thamizh is still spoken by 15 crore people across the globe, then it is due to its accomodative nature. the thamizh we use today has almost 50% of words from other languages.

but this process was stalled by the dravidian politics starting from justice party, for the last 60 odd years.

we need not translate all the words or create new tongue-twisting words for other language words. we can directly handle them. there is nothing wrong in it.

because it is easy for identification and saves lot of time and makes lot of people use it.

what is the use of finding a word for 'cycle' when the word 'cycle' has become a part and parcel of every tamilian's life.

then what are they going to do about legal terms like 'quid pro quo' or 'sine die' or 'suo motto' or ad hoc, or ad idem.

and what about medical terms? we can try hard and formulate few 100 words. what about the rest? even if we coin who are going to use it.

what about other areas of specialised studies? are we going to tamilise all engineering and accounting and technological terms into thamizh. is it possible? even if it is possible, to whose welfare?

real and good thamizh exists in our ancient texts. those who want to learn and speak good thamizh let them first them know thirukural, kamba ramayanam and villi bharatham by heart and then think about making new words. all the necessary words are already there.

makkal tv - one of its kind.
of course, i respect makkal tv for its gutsy attempt of not resorting to cinema as their main source of existence.

if we take cinema out, then almost all channels will go bankrupt.

but, makkal tv is brave enough to do that and lot of programmes are decent and worth watching.

but, everything is adjudged by who is saying what? with the credibility that pmk enjoys among the public, even if it says some gud things like 'madhu vilakku' et al, people are reluctant to accept what they say!

nannan and his bigotry make it queasy to watch his programmes. and forcible utterances of non-existent thamizh words makes one wonder whether they are watching a thamizh tv channel itself.

on tamil;
real tamil lovers are those who practise tamil not as politics but as a way of life.they know how to respect and accept other languages and keep nururing that of their own as well.
only in our state certain netas imply hating other languages means loving tamil,but i have been in tribal orissa for more than 71/2 years now i know hindi as well as oriya but that has not prevented myself from satiating me by reading quality Tamil literature like ponniyin selvan,kambanin kaaviyam.
I am now reading periya puranam.
our politicos never understand that language is just for communications and nothing else.they just flare up emotions and arouse ego to attain selfish interests
mozhi, inam,madham,jaathi ellavatraiyum vida muthanmaikkuriyathu maanudam thaan ithu saanro aaynthu aritha mudibu-this may satisfy mr balaji the other guy who is very much active on lankan issue.it is also used to flare up mozhi,ina veri which already has taken 2 young lives.

2009-08-14T09:24:00.000+05:30

This 'very useful' tips about t.nagar, i got from a mail.

Where is this T.Nagar?
Nobody knows accurately. It is just this lovely place in Chennai, which if you decide to visit for the second time, you get a free seasonal pass for a window-side bed in Kilpauk hospital.

Sounds like a holiday package..what if I manage a third visit?
You get one year free admission at Yervadi, next to Sethu Vikram. Cost of chain included in the package.

Oh! You said it's a lovely place. Do people go there for sight-seeing?
Kinda yeah, it is Chennai's own version of "Suicide Point"

Can we shop there?
There are just two things you can do at T.Nagar. One,shop and two,die. The former is optional though.

My wife wants some good silk sarees. Where do I take her?
Push her into Pothys and run. This is your best chance to live with some self respect in future.

What if I stay?
You automatically qualify for Bihar elections.

What if I go in too?
If you are Gopi, you'll come out as Gopi 65.

I heard gold is pretty cheap at some place there?
Very cheap yeah, not just the rate. I guess you are talking about Ranganathan Street, Annachi shop.

Ya ya. How do I go there?
You just need to stand at the start of that street. Close your eyes. Open your eyes. You are inside Annachi shop, courtesy : fellow shoppers.

Can I take my vehicle?
Shut up! Even Laloo wouldn't do that!

Oh is it very crowded?
Yeah, by the time you count the number of people around you, they can telecast Junoon twice.

Junoon?? What's that?
Kadavule! Paathathu illiya Junoon neenga? Periya athu megaserial. Pesuvaanga maathi maathi thamizh athula.

Oh! By the way, do men shop in T.Nagar?
Wise men stay away. Married men do shop.

I heard there are lots of platform shops?
There is no platform. Only shops.

Whatever, how good are they?
Very good infact. You get all sortsa brands including Nykee, Ribok and Adeedas. At cheap rates that too!

Hey isn't that phony? The spellings are all messed up!!
Naah. They have been changed according to numerology, that's all.

Fine. Is there any good restaurant there?
Ya, Saravana Bhavan.

Wow! What would I get there for, say 50 rupees?
Quite a lot. Half a dosa, 5 ml Sambhar and some pebbles.

Pebbles? Why??
Huh, you are dumber than a crow! To raise the level of sambhar ofcourse.

That's bad. But I heard there's a hot chips too?
You'll be a hot chip yourself once you step into Ranganathan Street.

How is the air pollution level in T.Nagar?
One deep breath and you'll die on the spot, money back guarantee.

So many issues, eh? Finally, what's the best thing about T.Nagar?
Variety. So many shops, so many dresses and so many accessories. Even if you escape death by other mean, you'll be confused to death!

Aging gracefully

2009-07-15T23:26:00.000+05:30

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16!

And then the greatest day of your life . . . you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . . . YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 . . .. and your dreams are gone.

But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would! So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday! You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"

May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Ilaiyaraaja Interview (1989) - Frontline

2009-06-30T21:29:00.001+05:30

FRONTLINE : Why do you avoid journalists and critics?

Ilaiyaraaja : Why should I meet journalists and critics? First if the critics assume that they know music, they can straight evaluate my music and write about it, no one is going to prevent it. If they don't know music, I have nothing to talk to them about. I am not avoiding out of any fear of controversy or anything of that sort. All these critics approach me with a hell of preconceived notions. They literally use me as a mouthpiece to voice their notions about music. Why should I give room for this?

FRONTLINE : What is your view about music?

Ilaiyaraaja : To me, music is nothing but fraud. The moment you play all the seven notes, music is completed. Then going on repeating it - in different permutations and combinations - is nothing short of cheating. The person who successfully cheats a large audience for an extended period is called the "big" composer. Genuine music, to me,is the one which has no purpose. It should be as natural and as purposeless as the flow of the river. I have a purpose in creating my music. The purpose is business. Saint Thyagaraja sang songs to attain God. So even he had a purpose for his music. At least, he never sold his music. But take a farmer for instance. While ploughing, he spurts into a crescendo of music with no purpose. That is true music.

FRONTLINE : Will the vidwans and musicologists agree with your view about music?

Ilaiyaraaja : Please tell me, who are the vidwans and musicologists? Saint Thyagaraaja, who spent his whole life as a wandering singer, sang his heart and soul out. The people who learn 15 krithis of that saint and practise them for their lifetime call themselves vidwans and musicologists. I have listened to all these living vidwans. There is always a tone of arrogance mightiness ringing in their voice and style of singing. I am very sure that Thyagaraja swamigal wouldn't have sung in this manner. His approach must have been the most simple, the most lucid and the most spontaneous. That is missing in the concerts. (Ilaiyaraaja sings a krithi to explain his contention). Therefore, there is no need for me to convince them.

FRONTLINE : Then how do you define music?

Ilaiyaraaja : Music is nothing but sound. There is music in the bark of the dog. There is music in the walk of every human being. Music is not a subject to be discussed. It has to be experienced. The universe is one which has its own rhythm pattern, and it goes on in a cyclic fashion without losing its equilibrium. Similarly, sound is ultimately a solitary note. It is not ascending. It is not descending. It is not vertical. Nor is it sinusoidal. It is dynamic. Yet this dynamism defies our general perception. We human beings have lots of limitations. We are able to perceive only the sounds within the audible frequency. There are notes above and below that. We forget them. Man has fragmented this solitary note into seven notes of the octave. Listen to the howl of the dog. Doesn't it have a swara prashta. Sa Re Ga.( Ilaiyaraaja sings and shows the similarity) There is no difference between the howl of the dog and the songs of vidwans. Actually, I have written a script in which I have recorded in what raga a dog barks on various occasions. This proves my theory - music is nothing but sound.

FRONTLINE : There are various systems in music - like Carnatic, Hindustani,Western, tribal and folk. And every system has its own schools. Which system do you think is the most well developed one?

Ilaiyaraaja : I do not like to make these types of value judgements. The person who assumes the role of a judge should be extremely well versed in the various systems of music which he com pares. A person who compares and rates Carnatic music higher than light music should know both the systems. But people who dismiss light music here do not know both the systems. Saying Hindustani is superior is superior to Carnatic, and even in Hindustani, Drupad is superior to Thumri or Kayal, opera is superior to symphony, sounds utter nonsense. No one knows all the systems of music thoroughly and hence no one is qualified to be a judge. But every one of passes value judgements about one music or the other. Further, to me, at a different level, all these systems and schools appear imaginary. But before going into the value judgements of other musical systems, let us have a look at the attitude of our own vidwans to wards our own classical music. If a musician sings a particular number very well, with excellent sangathis in the right places and right punctuations, we don't praise him. On the other hand, our vidwans will say : " Seventeen years ago at the Music Academy, I rendered this number in a much better manner. " For me, the past is past ; I am more concerned about what you are going to do. Talking about ancient glory never makes me happy. Now I am sure that a Thyagaraja Swamigal or a Dhikshitar is not going to be reborn, for obvious reasons. They just can't live with this generation of musicians who torture music. (laughs).

FRONTLINE : Your notion about music is reflected in your work. The list is endless. Do the producers and directors immediately accept your experimentations?

Ilaiyaraaja : Now I am a saleable commodity. Above that, I have a reputation on which the producers and directors have faith. My commercial viability, coupled with my reputation, gives me enough freedom to assert my right as a composer. They have confidence that if I do something, it would somehow reach the wider public. But I have the responsibility of proper films for experimentation. I cannot just throw away my labour in a gutter. So selecting producers and directors is my own prerogative.

FRONTLINE : After your entry, we find that for almost all songs, the tune is first set and then the lyric is written. Don't you think that you are curtailing the freedom of the lyricist?

Ilaiyaraaja : No. it is not like that. This type of question never arises when one understands the nature of the work. It is team work, where the director decides the situation for which I, as the music director, create music accordingly. The function of the lyricist is to write lyrics for that music. That is the demand of the work. If he is notable to write for the tune, it is his weakness. There is no point in finding fault with me. I am prepared to set the tune for any poetry. I am sure that i will be able to create a tune, because I know what my job is. As days progress, composing seems to become a simple and effortless job, a sort of daily routine. I don't expect others to praise my daily habit, composing.

FRONTLINE : There is a void in the field of lyric writing. Do you feel it? If so, what are the steps you have taken to fill it?

Ilaiyaraaja : Yes, I do accept that we don't have a good lyricist after Kavignar Kannadasan. But what can I do about it?

FRONTLINE : What is your approach to spotting talent in singing?

Ilaiyaraaja : I am convinced that if someone has talent, he will somehow move into limelight. But one cannot go and search and discover any talent. They have to emerge naturally. Take the example of Chitra. After listening to her once, I made her sing. Earlier, another girl called Jency came for the voice test. I felt that she was talented and I started giving her a chance right from the next day. But I cannot pressure others by saying : " Write well ; avoid repetition of words; be spontaneous. " It has to come naturally. Suddenly one good lyricist will emerge. Till then we must wait. What choice do we have?

FRONTLINE : Are the singers able to cope with you in your experimentation?

Ilaiyaraaja : With some amount of hard work and struggle, I am able to get what I want from the singers. We have to compromise at some levels, otherwise the work will never progress. I should be prepared to forgo certain things and the singers should also be prepared to do the same. Since this spirit is there, I am able to pull on without much of a problem. We also have enough talented singers.

FRONTLINE : Are the other musicians in your orchestra able to rise to the occasion in playing difficult numbers?

Ilaiyaraaja : No, there are limitations. I think I have done a lot in film music. And my difficult and experimental numbers have been received very well. The limitation of instrumentalists is obvious in many respects. But that is not a problem for film music. Really, we don't need extremely talented musicians for everyday recording. However, when you attempt some work for study purposes and other musical experiments, the limitation is glaring. We really need more talented musicians for these works. Most of the musicians who play for recording learn music only for their livelihood. The moment something stoops to the level of merely earning, you cannot expect much from it.

FRONTLINE : Some producers and directors who reaped the maximum benefit from your music have deserted you because of your busy schedule. Some people would consider this as an act of betrayal. How do you look at it?

Ilaiyaraaja : Is there any place in the world where there is no betrayal? Even our so-called close friends ditch us in life. What can I say about this? Today I am a profitable commodity. People mob me. Some who benefited from me are going to praise me and the rest, for whom I was not accessible, are going to slander me. How can I expect them to praise me? I have nothing against any one. I go to Prasad ( studio ) at 7 in the morning and work till 10 in the night. Today is the second Saturday and the whole industry takes rest, but I am at my work. Despite all these things, I cannot give dates to all of them simultaneously. It is humanly not possible. To be frank, I am not at all bothered about the people who have left me. I am not going to gain any thing nor lose anything. Who are the losers? Who knows?

FRONTLINE : You have thus far scored music for more than 400 films. After all, our films are the same. Are you planning to avoid film assignments to concentrate on recorded musical ventures like, 'How to name it '?

Ilaiyaraaja : Recorded music is still not a popular concept in our country. Film is the only medium through which one can reach a wider public. At present, it is very difficult to avoid films completely. But I have an idea on these lines. Just now I have completed my new album, " Nothing but wind'. They will materialise as time progresses.

FRONTLINE : The term 'rerecording ' has become popular even among the village folks, thanks to you. ( Film background music is referred to as rerecording in industry circles). What special care do you take to make your background score so different?

Ilaiyaraaja : All the musicians who visit my recording theatre appreciate the speed in which I am able to work and the quality I am able to produce. But I don't find any reason to it. The ideas come automatically to me according to the mood of the film. If i don't get any idea, then the film is like that. I have a screening of the film the day previous to the recording. The next day, when I am sitting with 60 musicians in the theatre, the reel is screened again. As I view the film, I start eliminating the ideas which others in the profession would adopt for the particular situation. I don't even use the instruments which others will use for a particular sequence. Therefore, I have to think fresh. A man settled in life with a secure job approaches life in a casual manner. But a man for whom most of the chances are closed approaches life with all-out courage and from a new view point, which enables him to achieve a lot more than the former. I am like the latter. That is the reason for the freshness and novelty in my background score.

FRONTLINE : Are you prepared to support new directors who want to make experimental films?

Ilaiyaraaja : Definitely, yes. But before that, what is experiment? I don't understand. Most of the experiments never take people into consideration. There cannot be an experiment without people. It is indulgence. I don't subscribe to it. People who have listened to my music and studied it will notice that I have popularised the various elements of Indian and Western classical music by slightly dilut ing them. A rich harmony is taken to a rickshaw-puller by adding a folk element to it. 'Marimari Ninne' and 'Maha Ganapathim' are popular among the villagers not because of any vidwans. They are popular because I have used them in a proper manner. To me, experiment means taking things on a high pedestal to the masses in such a way that they will accept them. Other than this, all experiments are a process of fooling oneself and the general public.

FRONTLINE : Who is the composer you like most?

Ilaiyaraaja : Bach. The reason is that he composed music in the formative days of Western classical music. There are three different types of counterpoint among which writing invertible counterpoints is the most difficult one. His compositions are so complete with every note falling in the right place with amazing mathematical precision. That is his greatness.

FRONTLINE : Do you think you have the right recognition? Are you happy with your two national awards?

Ilaiyaraaja : I have not been recognised by this Government to which I pay my tax happily. The national awards don't mean much. It made no difference to me. The only recognition I have is that South Indians throughout the world listen to my music. But this doesn't help me even buy a train ticket on the emergency quota! I don't have any good quality instruments to record my music. I cannot even get the basic requirements to function as a musician. This is the recognition I get in my own country. source:

CARNATIC BASICS - 12

2009-05-23T00:50:00.000+05:30

janya raagas contd........

you might have heard this song 'do re mi' in the movie sound of music.

let us continue with janya ragas. all the above janya ragas i mentioned like mohanam, hamsadwani are in pentatonic scale. that is having 5 notes like srgpd or srgpn.

in carnatic five note ragas are called audava ragas. six note ragas are called shaadava ragas.
that is having 5 notes in both aarohanam and avarohanam is audavam, and 6 notes up and down is shaadavam. we have already seen having all 7 notes is sampoornam.

there can be these combinations also. 5 in the up, 6 in the down; 5 in the up, 7 in the down, 6 in the up, 5 in the down, 6 in the up, 7 in the down,
7 up 5 down and 7 up and 6 down

ragas having less thatn 5 notes are also there but not classified.

now 5 up 6 down is called audava shadavam e.g malahari
5 up and 7 down is audava sampoornam e.g abheri
6 up and 5 down is called shadava audavam e.g koumothakam
6 up and 7 down is called shadava sampoornam .e.g asaveri thodi
7 up and 5 down is sampoorna audavam e.g kendha viksheba
7 up and 6 down is sampoorna shadavam. e.g kakavasantha
6 up and 6 down e.g sriranjani
5up and 5 down e.g. hindolam

janya ragas can be classified into three types.

1.upaanga raga
2.bhashanga raga
3.vakra raga

all the above examples of janya ragas (audava shadava etc) are upanga raga, meaning they are purely derived from their parent raga. that is they have only the swaras that their parent raga has.

a bhashanga raga is one, which has foreign notes (anya swaram) other than its parent raga, either in the ascent or descent or in both. a very good example is bhairavi. it has both the dha1(in descent) and dha2 (in ascent). whereas its parent raga natabhairavi(20th) has only dha1.

a vakra raga is one which does not have the swaras in the order. e.g in ananda bhairavi, the aarohanam is s g r g m p d p s. here before ri, which is the second swara, ga appears. again after dha, pa appears. this kind of misarrangement is called vakra prayogam. so either in aarohanam, or in avarohanam, or in both if the swaras are not arranged in order , it is called a vakra ragam.

Poorvacharyas have compared the Saptaswaras to the sounds of birds and animals which is shown below-

Sadjam----------The sound produced by peacock
Rishabam----------The lowing of cow
Gandharam--------The bleat of the goat
Madhyamam------The cry of heron
Panchamam-------The note sounded by Kokila
Dhaivatham-------The neigh of horse
Nishadham--------The yelling of elephant

STARTING FROM SADJAM EACH NOTE IS HIGHER IN FREQUENCY JUST AS THE SOUNDS OF THE ANIMALS AND BIRDS MENTIONED.

the bleat of a goat is higher in frequency than the lowing of a cow.

similarly the cry of a heron is higher than the bleating of a goat

RISHABA : Slim body,green colour, three faces, six hands, peethambara dress. Blue stone necklace, agaru in forehead. Kundam in his hand. Sits on lion, kinnara wife, lives in Saha island. Brahma saw this devatha first.

GHANDARA : Fat body, golden complexion, two faces, four hands, red attire, diamond necklace, agaru in forehead, Dandam in hand, Ghanda Berunda bird as vehicle, Yaksha wife. Lives in Kusa island. Moon saw this devatha first.

MADHYAMA : Tall with four faces, eight hands, blue attire, lapis lazule(vaidooryam) necklace, patharas on forehead, holds chakra, sits on deer, Kimpuru wife, lives in Kroucha island. Vishnu saw him first.

PANCHAMA : Well proportioned body. Complexion black, four faces, eight hands, red clothes, emarald necklace, Gorojanam on forhead, pindi in his hand, Naga wife, lives in Salmali island. Narada saw him first.

DAIVATHA : Tall, blue body, three faces, six hands, pictured cloth worn by him, Gomethagam(sardonyx) necklace, sandal on forehead, holding narasam, sits on parrot, Deva wife, lives in Swetha island. Thumburu saw him first.

NISHADA : Very fat, five coloured complxion, two faces, four hands, blue attire, pushparaga(topaz) necklace, kadamba powder on his forehead, holding ankusam, sits on Mynakam, Rakshasa wife, lives in Pushkara island. Thumburu saw this devatha too.

The Melakartha Scheme of 72 ragas has two versions. The reputed author of the Scheme, Venkatamakhi shaped the Asampoorna Mela. Govindacharya brought out the Sampurna Melas. The two versions have been followed by Muthuswami Dikshitar & Tyagaraja-Syama Sastri respectively.

Seven swaras have twelve swara divisions:

Carnatic System	Syllable	Hindustani System	Western
Shadja	SA	Shadj	C
Suddha Ri	R1	Komal Rishab	D Flat Db
Chatusruti Ri	R2	Thivra Rishab	D
Sadarana GA	G1	Komal GA	E Flat Eb
Antara GA	G2	Thivra GA	E
Suddha MA	M1	Komal MA	F
Prati MA	M2	Thivra MA	F Sharp F+
Panchama	PA	Pancham	G
Suddha Da	D1	Komal Da	A Flat Ab
Chatusruti Da	D2	Thivra Da	A
Kaisiki NI	N1	Komal NI	B Flat Bb
KakaliNI	N2	Thivra NI	B

SA & PA are constant. Others have two levels(sthanas). Thus there exist twelve swara sthanas. Four more having shades of other swaras - Suddha Gandharam, Shatsruti Rishaba, Suddha Nishada & Shatsruti Dhaivata - make up a total of sixteen. 72 Sampoorna Ragas having all seven swaras both in ascending (arohana) & descending (avarohana) emerge as Mela ragas. Each mela has al the seven swaras but drafts varying swarasthana formulations.
Each mela raga applied to permutations & combinations of swara sthanas gives scope to 484 janya (sub) ragas. 72 mela ragas have thus a potential to give the colossal 34776 janya ragas. Of course, this is only an arithmetical projection & not a melodic feasibility.
Of 72 melas, the first 36 have M1 & the second 36 ave M2.

janya raagas

janya means 'born'. a janya raga is one that is born out of a parent melakartha raga.

e.g. hamsadhwani is a janya raga of 29th melam shankarabharanam. how?

the aarohanam and avarohanam of hamsadhwani is

s r2 g3 p n3 s / s n3 p g r2 s.

the aarohanam and avarohanam of shankarabharanam is

s r2 g3 m1 p d2 n3 s / s n3 d2 p m1 g3 r2 s

this is derived from the parent raga by omitting m1 and d2.

it is interesting to note that both shankarabharanam and kalyani have the same swaras but for ma. and hamsadhwani does not have ma. then how come it is said that it is derived from shankarabharanam and not kalyani. it cud very well be kalyani also, isn't it? this is where our ancestors brilliance comes into the scene.

eventhough apparently the swaras of hamsadwani are common to both the melams, the 'gamaka' prayogams in the raga are more loyal to shankarabharanam than kalyani. that is how they allotted this raga to the 29th mela.

one more e.g. mohanam is a janya raga of harikambodhi and not shankarabharanam.
mohanam has s r2 g3 p d2 s / s d2 p g3 r2 s

these notes are common for both hk and sb. but depending on the gamakam, it is allotted to hk.

some more janya ragas

abhogi &
sudha dhanyasi from karahara priya

hindholam &
bhoopalam from hanumathodi etcetera.

i have not mentioned the swarasthanam here. i want to remind this thread is just an introduction to carnatic music. so i want to be as simple as possible. this is not reference material.

i wud like to give the names for the swaras here. they are

sa - shadjam
ri - rishabham
ga - gandharam
ma - madhyamam
pa - panchamam
dha - dhaivatham
ni - nishadham

each has a meaning and reason. will be elaborated later.

it is interesting to note eventhough in western classical the notes are referred to as cdefgab they have got syllables too. it is do re mi fa so la ti .

it is called solmization. this system is called solfege and these syllables also have meaning.

mela kartha ragas... contd...

continuing....

melakartha or parent raagas are called sampoorna raagas. it means they have got all the 7 notes and in the same order srgmpdn both in aarohanam and avarohanam. sampoorna means complete.

e.g. shankarabharanam (29TH) s r2 g3 m1 p d2 n3 s and s n3 d2 p m1 g3 r2 s.

aarohanam means ascent and avarohanam means descent.

both jointly constitute a ragam.

u could have wondered after reading the first 6 raagas 'onnum kaelvi patta madhiriye illaiye-nu', i mean none of them is popular or famous and mostly unheard of.

this is because the first 7 ragas are vivadhi ragas. i will explain them later. as of now these ragas are not suitable for raga aalapana and prasthara. stalwarts can do that. but it is not as pleasing as normal ragas.

namma raja idhaiyum vittu vaikkala. vivadhi ragathula neraya compose panna ore aal nammalu daan.

Balaa-

I think there are pros and cons to both the styles- or approaches (western & carnatic). I shall try to elaborate & discuss about it..!!

Narayanan

@satish

everything has pros and cons. there can be no world without diads and triads.

everything in the world has a reason. all music systems have emerged for a good reason. but what i mean to say is carnatic system is complete. if u understand carnatic system u can assimilate any music system.

i know there are no notations in carnatic music for time factor, or how to play a phrase,like allegro, andante, adagio or adagietto. but carnatic music is not sheet music. everything is not on paper. it is up there.

in fact, carnatic music does not need paper at all. it is pure sravanam. meaning just by hearing u become more acquainted. there is an interesting reference.

'karna' means ear. atakam means which dances. the music that dances in ur ears is karnataka sangeetham.

Well SAID:

Few more doubt
In piano, one can play using both hands...
In western notation, there are notes for Treble and Bass components which can be played at same time, usually right hand for treble (upper octaves / swaras I think) and left for bass (lower octaves)

I hope you get what I mean...

But most of the carnatic notes (harmonium petti is used for playing, so can play using only one hand) I've seen are like "ssrg ssrg..." etc, like for one hand only.
Can one compose a song where both hands are used on piano, using carnatic notations?

In my school competitions, almost all of these carnatic singers always sing a song using Aadi taalam, why is that?

Another limiting factor:
how does one give a time value to each note. Like say in a 4/4 metre, in western i write "c_1/4 c_1/4 c_1/4 c_1/4 d_1 e_2" meaning 1/4 * 4 + 1 + 2 = 4 and 4 beats have passed.
How to translate that into carnatic music?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensural_notation
Check the above link about the notation system if I'm not clear

Also, another doubt about the raaga system:
Say I compose a song where I want only one or two "Pa" to be in the sharp and all others to be neutral. How does one do that? Because of the raaga system all my "Pa" has to be sharp!!!

Narayanan SAID:

@well
good question. as u said, left hand for bass clef and right hand for treble clef. the left hand is used for chords in the western classical system. almost all western compositions have chord change. and compositions are always on a scale say c#, e major etcetera.

in carnatic music, we dont have a chord system. no kriti is composed in a given sruti. anyone can sing in his own sruti. an entire kutcheri is sung in the same sruti, that of the singer. so there is no need to use the left hand at all in the keyboard. maybe for pitchbender but not on the bass clef. but i have seen child prodigy satyanarayana use two keyboards with two hands and play two octaves simultaneously.

cine music mostly follows western music system only. that's why most of the compositions sound fine only if it is played or sung in the original pitch in which it was composed on.

why adi talam?

bcos, adi talam is the simplest of the talams having eight beats. that's why

next question is why there is only one pa. actually what u refer is the note 'g' in the keyboard. that's the answer.. what u refer as (pa# ) g# is dha1 in carnatic raga. only the name differs. sa and pa are constants. they dont have any variations. so we dont attach sharp, major, minor or flat to them in the carnatic system.

our own raja
i have once heard spb in an interview, remembering how raja uses the harmonium as a keyboard.

u may know that the harmonium has bellows. one hand is used for bellows usually left and played by right hand. but raja pushes the bellows hard and plays the harmonium as key board with chords.

Well said:

Don't you think limiting a music form to such rules like raagams are very bad for creativity and improvization.
For example, in western music, there is like F major or Bflat scales and so many such stuff. These are equivalent of the raagams in carnatic music i think...
However, even if I compose a song in say F major I can always put sharp or flat or neutral note wherever whenever i want.

If I understand carnatic music properly (please correct me), then say I'm composing in raagam A (I dont know even one raagam's name) where its "srgm#pdns" (where # stands for sharp) I can't include a note say p# or d_flat in the tune.
Won't that hurt creativity?
Won't that also cause repetition?

Narayanan

@ well

you are right. but everything our ancestors have done had a meaning. if you accept this and search for the real underlying meaning, u will be wondering how gr8 they were.

our raagas are not just swara patterns. each and every raaga has got a swarupam (form), and a unique effect it has on human mind. so messing too much with a raga will not help either auditory pleasure or the subconscious effect it is supposed to have.

there is also another reason. in western or hindustani, there are very limited scales and raagas. in western there are only few scales major, minor etc. and all the creativity of variations and experiments should happen within these scales.

but in carnatic music we have done all the experiments and given a separate name for each experiment. it is called a ragam. there are innumerable raagas and u can also create one.

so the experiment is also complete and the same experiment can be pursued by others to enjoy its result or even come out with a better result.

so, if u play srgm#pdns, which i assume to be the grand scale , id est kalyani in our carnatic system, if u introduce p# (dha1)it becomes another raaga 'lathangi' and it has a vast scope to be a separate raaga. so why just have a little variation played for a little time, instead of a grand treat for a longer time as a separate raaga with aalapana and swaraprasthaaram. wouldn't it be better.

so, the creativity and experimentation is full and complete in our system. they call it experimentation and creativity in the same scale. we call it a separate raga. that's the difference.

CARNATIC BASICS - 5

2009-05-09T23:22:00.000+05:30

mela kartha ragas

now we go to the 72 melakartha ragas. as you all know there are 7 swaras srgmpdn.
in this 7, s and p are fixed. they have no variations. that's why before starting to sing learners sing s-p-s to fix their sruti. they are called prakruti swaras. the other 5 are called vikruti swaras

ma has two varieties. shudha madhyamam and prathi madhyamam. the other four r g d n has three variations. so the math goes like this.

2 (madhyamam) * 4 ( rgdn) * 3 (variations) * 3 (changing one of the four notes with respect to other 3 notes) = 72 mela karthas

ACTUALLY, THE MATHS IS DIFFERENT. I HAVE GIVEN AN EASY INTERPRETATION. I WILL GIVE THE ORIGINAL CALCULATION LATER.

the melakartha or parent raagas are classified as shudha madhyama and prathi madhyama ragas.

the first 36 are exactly the same as the next 36 with just the 'ma' difference. so 15th melakarta maya malava gowla is the same as 15+36 =51st mela kartha 'kamavarthini' or commonly known as panthuvaraali with just the 'ma' difference. all other swaras are the same.

i am talking just about the swaras and not the raaga lakshanam. these r 2 completely different raagas with different emotions and different handling.

these are classified into 12 chakras of 6 raagas each. each chakra has a name. e.g first chakra is 'indhu' chakra which contains the following raagas.

1.kanakangi
2.ratnangi
3.gaanamurthi
4.vanaspathi
5.manavathi
6.dhanaroopi

Carnatic region......supposedly not Karnataka!!

Carnatic music did not come from Karnataka, though we consider Purandaradasa as the forefather - It existed even before him and the region around Thanjavur is what is said to be the original carnatic region - the origin is still obscure and the present culture is supposedly an amalgamation of styles from the different regions - TN, Andhra, Travancore (Kerala) & of course Karnataka..!!

Narayanan

@satish balaji

carnatic does not mean karnataka's music. people from north call all south indians as madrasis. does that mean all south indians are from madras? similarly to denote south they added karantaka as a prefix. before that it was just sangeetham.

'aravam' is the first village encountered when coming from andhrapradesh to tamilnadu. so tamilnadu became 'arava nadu' and tamil became 'aravam' and tamilians became 'araval-lu', for people from andhra.

similarly the first region encountered in south india for people coming from north india is karnataka. so they prefixed that name to the music prevailing in that area.

science and art

in the entire world, out of so many music cultures, only carnatic music has the special usage of gamakas. that i will explain later. in that way hindustani is comparable to western or any other music system which play the notes in plain fashion.

of course, it is there in all music systems with other names, like 'grace notes' in western and in hindustani also, certain gharanas have this gamaka system. it is used occasionally.

but there is no carnatic music without this gamakam. it is the relation between 2 adjacent notes or swaras and the 27 microtones used in carnatic music is the most advanced system of music.

so let's come to carnatic music.

there have been certain raagas like mohanam, kambodhi , bhairavi et al which were there since time immemorial. devaram and thiruvasagam shud be sung in these ragas only in the temples. they are called pann. this was when music was sheer art. then when intellect overtook the mind, then the system of 72 melakarta ragas emerged.

it is just like the periodic table of elements. gold, silver and iron were long known. but lesser known halogens and other elements were all first listed in the table and then found out.

how? because the table is based on atomic structure. increasing the proton count, elements were listed long before they were discovered.

similarly, when music was extended as a science from art, the intellect listed the so far missing ragas.

sri venkatamakhin was the one who propounded the melakarta system of raga classification.

evolution

music is there since time immemorial. people used to express their feelings thru music in all parts of the world. in india music is considered to be divine. saraswathi carries a veena, narada carries a veena, nandhi plays mridanga and these have references in the vedhas itself. and all these instruments are used in carnatic music only. not in any other music.

what i mean to say is 'what is called as carnatic music today was the first system of music in the world'. in entire india there was only one music system. later after so many invasions in the north, the music also had a tremendous change in that part of the country and a new genre evolved which we now call as hindustani music. actually carnatic music is pure hindustani. hindustani music is videshi.

you could have noticed that carnatic music has only bhakthi compositions. here music was never separated from divinity. all the trinity's compositions are on divine forms only. we never separated music and divinity. so there was no change in its usage.

(there are compositions other than bhakthi. u can find it in the following posts)

carnatic basics for ir fans

hi, in this thread i will provide some basic inputs about carnatic music.

introduction

i would try to be as simple as possible. please post ur responses.

carnatic music actually means south indian music. 'carnatic' came from karnataka as it is the first southern region from north. also people say it was named after purandaradasa who came from karnataka. it has a reason. purandaradasa only gave the now existing format of music lessons namely sarali varisai, janta varisai, dhaatu varisai, alankaram, swarajathi, geetham, varnam, keertanai etc. he lived from 1494-1564 ad.

he personally chose the mayamalava gowla raagam in which all the initial lessons upto alankaram were composed. there is a reason for that also which i will tell later.

(there is also another theory, which does not have much takers in carnatic arena. கரை மண்டலம் became coramandal in english. similarly கரைநாடு was the name for coastal belt of cuddalore, nagai, thanjavur etc. the music from this area, கரைநாட்டுச் சங்கீதம் later became carnatic music. even other than carnatic arena, this theory is not that popular.)

2009-04-05T19:46:00.001+05:30

my friend djo has done a remix on naan thedum. since raja's works are mathematically perfect, yeah music is aesthetic maths, it can be adapted to any genre.
there r so many examples. the new generation is attracted towards the sound and rhythm section only. that can be done by any good sound engineer with a good hold on technology. my friend has done the same.
but a song or any music as such, transcends time, only when its soul, the melody portion is heart touching. it has been the case in the past, it will be the case forever.
technology is available to everyone. but only some stand out. why is that? they know that technology alone can not withstand time. only gud music can do that. and they bring it in their works.
listen to this:
