To list Hindu Scripture is an impossible task. For example, the Ramayana has over 1600 versions! We have Languages , other than Sanskrit, of which we are familiar with, we have Tamil , which has innumerable texts of Religious importance. The other Indian Languages, at least 18 of them are quite rich and they have their texts. I am furnishing a List which is indicative of the Ocean that is Hinduism. This may be considered as a starting point. Corrections suggestions for improvement welcome.

This has not happened in Abu Dhabi ,Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan or Pakistan.
This took place in Sitharkottai, Ramanathapuram district ,Tamil Nadu...
tudents sporting tilak on their foreheads and amulets on their bodies were stopped by the Physical Instruction teacher of a Government-aided minority institution before they entered the school premises.
The sacred threads and rakshas (amulets) worn for protection round the necks or arms were cut off, and the sindoor, tilak on the foreheads erased.
What s most painful is that the Collector who ordered thus is one Nanadakumar, presumed to be a Hindu!
Read this report.
None of the Newspapers, TV channels, let alone the Secular Media reported this or reported in such a way that no one notices it!
This is not the first time of such incidents happening , the media keeping mum on such incidents and the Government taking no action.

In the process, these jokers forgot Ravana is described as a Brahmin.
If this group hates anything more in Life, it is Brahmins.
Thus they scored a self goal!
RS Manohar,The Great Dramatist Tamil Nadu has ever seen, was conned by this misinformation and he produced Ilangeswaran, a Drama describing
Ravana as A good Man.
The flip side is Manohar was a Brahmin!
He was reported to have invited Kanchi Periyavar to this drama as it was from an Epic and was well researched.
Periyavar's reply was'
"I do not know anything about Research.
Ravana coveted other's wife.
This one act has wiped out all His Punya and his Devotion to Shiva.
I shall not attend and he did not.
Devi, also called Bhagavathy,worship is more prevalent in Kerala.
Devi is also worshiped as The Deity of towns/villages.
ne of the popular Temples of Devi in Kerala is The Chottanikkara Bhagavathy Temple, near Cochin.
One of the unique featur of the Temple is that the Durga Suktha Homa is conducted daily to ward off Possession by spirits.
Parashurama threw His Axe and the Land between Gokarn (now in North Karnataka) and the coastal belt of land up to Kanyakumari, now called Kerala.
The original name of Kerala is Parashurama Kshetra.
Parashrama settled here and He built 64 Villages.
32 are now in Karnataka, rest in Kerala.
Parasurama had consecrated 108 Shiva temples and 108 Durga temples .
Among these 216 temples, the Lord Shiva of Gokarnam Mahabaleswara Temple in the north and Goddess Kumari of Kanyakumari temple in the south were considered as the protectors of Kerala.
The first Shivalaya created by Parasurama was the Thrissivaperoor Vadakkunnatha Temple and the last one was the Thrikkariyoor Mahadeva Temple.
