Someone said, "there was a 'big bang' in the universe at the beginning of creation".
To this someone replied, "that's a lie. There was no word as 'big bang' at that time as the English language didn't exist by then".
Is this not ridiculous? Kamal Hassan seems to be responding with the same kind of stupidity in a hurry to say something against BJP and its Hindu stand.
Recently, responding on the matter of Ponniyan Selvan, Kamal said- "There was no name called 'Hindu religion' during Raja Raja Chola's period. There was Vaishnavam, Shaivam, and Samanam, and it was the British who coined the term Hindu since they didn't know how to refer to it collectively. It is similar to how they changed Thuthukudi into Tuticorin."
Well, the word Hinduism might have been coined later for Sanatana Dharma by the British. But does that mean there were no practices of Hinduism during Raja Raja Chola?
The king was known for building the famous Brihadeeshwara Temple of Lord Shiva in Tanjore. Kamal may say that Raja Raja Chola was a Shaivite. Is Shaivite not a Hindu today?
To this BJP leader H Raja responded- "....let him point out two churches and mosques built by Raja Raja Chola. He called himself Sivapadha Sekaran. Wasn't he a Hindu then?"
On a whole Kamal Hassan has become a laughing stock for his weak argument on a strong belief system. Many are trolling him for his shallow talk.
