NAIR HISTORIAN VS NAMPOOTHIRI BRAHMINS - THE CANKER OF DRAVIDIAN SEPARATISM !!!


Prof. Elamkulam
Kaanippayoor Sankaran Nampoothiri
Nair Historian Prof. Elamkulam Kunjan Pillai, upbraided the Nampoothiri’s of Kerala, to the extent  that a prominent Nampoothiri amongst them, Panditha-rajan Kaanippayyoor Sankaran Nampoothirippad, offered defense, and then went on the offensive against the Nairs.


Prof. Elamkulam Kunjan Pillai claimed that Nairs  belonged to the Dravidian Race. That means he subscribed to Aryan-Dravidian Racist theories.  The Prof.’s claim were rebutted by Kaanippayoor, and he asserted that Nairs were the descendents of Nagas ,citing the
opinion of  Chattambi Swami, considered to be the spiritual guru of Nairs  & other historians like K.P Padmanabha Menon and R. Narayana Panicker.  And Kanipayyor further pointed out  to the Prof.’s own work which informs that Nagas originally  lived in N.India, mainly at Gorakhpur, Nagpur, Allahabad, Nalanda,  Sind, and the hills of Assam.

Kaanippayoor's Work, The pre-history of Nairs
So how did the Nagas reach Kerala & became Nairs ??. Kanipayoor explains that,  the ancestors of Nampoothiri’s who originally belonged to Sind, had brought the Nagas , also belonging to Sind, along with them as soldiers & servants.

Thus  Kaanippayyor turned the tables on the Nair Historian, Prof. Elamkulam Kunjan Pillai, using the same Aryan-Dravidian Racist theory,  to which the Prof. also subscribed. Thus together both of them succumbed to the RACIST Aryan- Dravidian separatist theory. Kanipayoor could thus project that Nairs also had come from outside Dravida-naadu, along within the colonizing Brahmins from Sind. Thus both were OUTSIDERS, not originally belonging to S.India.  These exchanges demonstrates the extent to which Aryan-Dravidian Racist theory had a hold on the imagination of the literati belonging to that period, and also the extent to which it was internalized by them. There is also the likelihood, that Chattambi Swamigal would also have been influenced by the linguistic theories in vogue at that time in the ‘learned’ circles in S.India.

Now consider the background of  Prof. Elamkulam Kunjan Pillai. (b.1904 – d.1973) Quote “From language and literature his interests
turned first to the history of languages and culture and then to social- history.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elamkulam_Kunjan_Pillai
This was similar to the interests and career of that 'linguistic scholar" Bishop Robert Caldwell, before him.
 And another interesting coincidence was, he was the contemporary
Bishop Caldwell
EVR



of Periyar E.V.Ramasamy (b.1879- d.1973), who started the Self-Respect Movement or the Dravidian Movement and proposed the creation of an independent state called Dravida Nadu, comprising the states of South India. He also endorsed violence against Brahmins. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periyar_E._V._Ramasamy

Thus the deadly virus of Dravidian Separatism spread all over S.india, and had infected the mind of a Kerala Historian, prompting him to unleash tirades against the  Brahmin Nampoothiris, just like how it was happening to Brahmins in Tamil Nadu under the able guidance of  EVR.


The seed of Dravidian Separatism and Linguistic chauvinisms were
genetically(artificially) engineered in the scheming minds of two Protestant Christians from Britain- Bishop Robert Caldwell , who was the Bishop of Tinnevelly, and Francis Whyte Ellis. An interesting account of this can be had at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_aXkwP2Shg.

Did we not err ? Did we not disparage , disrespect, and disregard our Traditional Nobility ? Are we not continuing with the mistake, by casting aspersions on the Travancore Royal Family.? WE deliberately disregarded,  in our ignorance we forgot that, nobility is not just about power and wealth/money. It is PRIMARILY about VALUES !!!!!

And what about the MODERN  nobility and rulers who replaced Traditional Nobility. !!? Aren’t we paying a huge price, due to collapse of our VALUE SYSTEM !!!!.

In Kerala, who benefitted from such foolishness and ignorance. Politically the Marxists &  Christians !!!
