And even acknowledging that PETA is often the first to rescue pets when heat waves and hurricanes hit, that doesn't change the fact that, at one of its shelters, it kills 84 percent of supposedly "unadoptable" animals within 24 hours of their arrival...PETA’s cash donation to the terrorist Earth Liberation Front..The group euthanized (killed) more than 1,900 animals in 2003 alone — that’s over 85 percent of the animals it received. In fact, from July 1998 through the end of 2003, PETA killed over 10,000 dogs, cats, and other “companion animals” at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. That’s more than five animals every day.

And similarly, Pandya, who dwelt on the coast-land near the sea, came accompanied by troops of various kinds to Yudhishthira, the king of kings. Mahabharatha 5:19 Steeds that were all of the hue of the Atrusa flower bore a hundred and forty thousand principle car-warriors that followed that Sarangadhwaja, the king of the Pandyas. Mahabharatha 7.23. References abound in Tamil Classics about the relationship between Sanatana Dharma and the Tamil Kings. First reference of the Pandyas is the Parantaka Pandya who fought with Karikal Chola. The Forty Kings mentioned before Karikala are not found to be recorded. Yet references are found in the Ithihasa and Puranas about the Pandyas. My inference is that Pandya Kingdom at Then Madurai then, was swallowed by a Tsunami and records might have been lost. One surviving record is that Ravana signed a Peace Treaty with a Pandya King.
Even at the time of writing I knew that the article would draw a lot of flak from Tamil Arvalars, literal translation of this is-one who is passionate in Tamil-,it is a different matter that they can not even pronounce the Tamil Zha, La and la properly. True to form I have received a communication that my information about Sanatana Dharma and Tamil is wrong and some research paper links were attached with the communication. The Tamil Land was divided, it is unique among all the civilizations, into five geographical entities.
The Myth of an independent,secular(?) Dravidian Culture has been and is propagated. Let us see whether the Statement that the Dravidian, more specifically the Tamil Culture was/is independent of Sanatana Dharma, on the basis of historical and archaeological evidence. 1.Tamil quotes Vedas right from the Sangam Age. 2.Vedas and Sanskrit quote Tamil … Continue reading Independent Tamil Culture Myth
People who were living North of Vindhyas were not seemingly unaware of the existence of the Great Culture that was thriving in the Dravida, meaning South, part of India , The South of Vindhya ranges. Viswamitra, banished his 52 sons to Dravida for having disobeyed and questioned him to the Dravidian Region. They found a superior culture, if not on par with the Vedic culture to be thriving there. They found that , of all the civilizations known then , The Tamils were the only Culture, who were so evolved that they ascribed five landmasses in their territory, ascribed Gods, birds.Animals, Palnts, Lifestyle to each of these Divisions, this was explained in Agathiyam , Thokappiyam , the ancient Grammatical works of the Tamil language, dated some five thousands years! Curious fact is that these Tamil texts quote Vedas and they , in turn, quote, the Tamils! Please read my post, Million year Old Tamil quotes Vedas and They quote Tamil.' The great Tamil Chera King Nedunchearalaathan was the man who fed both the armies of the Mahabharata War, Kauravas and Pandavas. He had been addressed as P'erunchotru Udiyan' one who fed many number of Stomachs-Nedunchotru Uthiyan Neduncheralaathan was how he was called. He donated 100 veli( one veli= 100 acres) of land to Brahmins on the condition that he should see the Homa Smoke in the morning from this area every morning! ( source.History of Tamils By PT.Srinivasa Iengar) There are references to Arjuna marrying a Princess from Madurai on his pilgrimage. Now coming back to Viswamitra's sons. The sons of Viswamitra mingled with the Tamils and followed the Tamil Customs. Their descendant , Apasthamaba, combined the best of Tamil practices and the Sanatana Dharma ad compiled the Apashamba Sutra, which is practiced by the Brahmins even to-day(Apasthamba Sutra) One notable custom is the inclusion of Mangaya Dharana, Thali in a Marriage, which is not found in Vedic Marriages. In Santana Dharma, marriage is complete with the performance of Panigrahana and Sapthapati. And the wearing of 'Metti', wring worn around the toe of the leg of Man was practiced among the Tamils, to indicate that he was married.(women were decribed as not looking at Men in the Face!) This custom was changed to Women by Apasthamba.
