Dear Mr Anjaneya,
I grew up in an orthodox ambience, belived that vedas are the greatest repository of knowledge. But it all changed when I startted reading vedas rather than reading articles that blindly praise it. Let us talk like knowledgable adults, to begin with let us talk about Rig veda, I have read it completly, In short it is about i) praising a bunch of war gods by saluting them with encomiums. ii) Claiming victory over dark skinned people thanks to the aryan valour. iii) Animals are created so that they can be sacrified, once sacrificed how should you eat them.....The list goes on like this. I never found even one funda there to be anything that closely resembles sacredness or even knowledge worth appreciation. If I am wrong please enlighten me. Please reply so that we can have a objective talk about Rig veda, rather than blanket sweep statements like it is great , that is great etc.
Please do not compare Thirukural with any of the vedic litreature, to vedas secularism is anathema, to thirukural it is the crux.
