All Indian languages can be dangerously feudal. They create social, administrative, communal problems. Moreover, Indian languages are not fit in jurisprudence. For, the issue of equaliy before the law doesnt work in Indian languages.

Malayalam is feudal to the core. I mean it holds the ancient codes of Janmi-kudiyam affectionate relationship! Well, we can do without it. Kill the feudal Malayalam.

See: http://www.vvv03.org/march.pdf and http://www.vvv03.org/reality.pdf

Dont forget that ppl like Renjith, Jayaraj are well experianced & they doesn’t belong to our young gen! (btw…this not a movie fight post!!)

Just noticed your comment #22

@Lekshmi
We dont hate malayalam. Its just that we dont like being forced. Elementary language education is needed and Compulsory stuff until 8th STD is ok.

But trying to force semi sanskrit BS poems hard to understand scholarly literature makes many of us hate it. ”

What malayalam did wrong for that? If you dont wanna be forced GO & BLAME our EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM!

I m happy …tht..atleast you dont hate malayalam!….LOL

Need more ?

Ofcourse! GULMOHAR is a great film..Everyone MUST watch!

cmon, go & make one more that outshines Gulmohar or atleast competes one like that…with our gen ppl!

And its the not the language that has a heart, its the user who has it.

You did not get my point.

The point is that the sounds in different languages are totally different. People try to approximate those sounds with a letter or sound from one language to represent it.

As you said, all the ““Swarangal” “Vyanjanangal” “deerkangal” & the epenthentic vowel in Malayalam “Samvruthokaram” can represent all the sounds in Malayalam , but not in many other languages.

Similarly, you can only approximate “zha” in English and I doubt if there are any one in the world other than a malayalee who can pronounce it the right way. But that does not make any language inferior too.

All i decried was the fanaticism in the name of languages.

Your personal freedom is OKAY! Who came to place knife on that?? ehh? I didn’t say anything related to your personal freedom!

“And why there are no classics in our generation, Can you say who decides what is a classic and what is not. ? A set of so called intellectuals … right…… they have difficulty accepting the new generation… thats all…”

Its not some “intellectuals” who determines such things. Dont you have brains & hearts to understand a work is classic or not after reading/watching that?

Just take a look @ cinema, CINEMA is d most influential & widely accepted form of media – in our age! isn’t it? Its not like drama,novels,etc etc..Its REACH is pretty big!

Now take a look @ the present Malayalam cinema – (chottamumbai, madambi, mayabasar,chocolate, BULLSHITS..a load of!)

Keeping this in mind take a look @ Golden classics of malayalam – that of d age of geniuses like Padmarajan, Bharathan, Lohithadas , M.T, John Paul etc (Films like Thoovanathumpikal, Namuk paarkan munthirithoppukal, Innale, Vysali, Vazhvemaayam, Chemmeen, Kireedom)

Now say, wheres your new generation classics?? LOL… Yaa! You have a lot of “classics” like Mayabasar, Lolipop, Parunth…LOL

I choose cinema media to make my point bcz everyone will be knowing abt these ppl! The reason ppl like Padmarajan, M.T, Bharatan, Lohi, cud make classics bcz they all were knowing what Literature is!

The new generation ppl dont know what is it & thats y they fails!

Its the quality of ppl involved in Literature reflects in their medias like Novel, cinema, drama etc.

Every language has a HEART!

Point noted. There should be more freedom in schools as to what all subjects students want to study. If I want to learn guitar, there should be some means and the school should give me credit for that. If after 8th I choose not to study regular mathematics and instead learn social work, that should be ok with the school.

@Jojo
Malayalam is blessed language. Well every language is blessed in one way or the other. English, French and even dead languages (Sanskrit) can show off its set of literature. Its no big deal.

And regarding the list of writers, its again a personal choice. You might like a set of writers, but might not like them. I hate the father of our language, “Mr Ezhuthachan”. His semi Sanskrit stuff troubled me a lot on school, even though not his fault.
I prefer modern writer and modern poets, cos I can sync with them better.

And why there are no classics in our generation, Can you say who decides what is a classic and what is not. ? A set of so called intellectuals … right…… they have difficulty accepting the new generation… thats all…

If the proff is worried, let him write some classics or let him arrange study classes or training for the new generation. In a free country there is no way someone in forcing it down my throat. Its utter stupidity to go on AIR making nonsense statements.

I still stand by my statement. Language is just a tool which we use to express ourselves and communicate.

I said @ begining of comment that “I m writing this for all FOOLS who considers there mother tongue is NOT important!”

Its not the INFERIOR-SUPERIOR fight or so..!

‘I does not have a letter to represent the “A” sound in even such a simple word as “bank”. Some try to approximate it to Bey-nk or Bah-nk when it is written.’

Hey, see the pronounciation of two words using “A”

1. Bank or After ( gives sound “aa”)

2. Atheist ( gives sound “eh”)

The same letter “A” used to represent two different sounds!! Just an example & a million exist.

Now to your comment

“2) No, Malayalam does not have letters for all possible sounds.Maybe it does have letters for all possible sounds spoken in Malayalam. ”

What I felt is I can represent any sound using the “Swarangal” “Vyanjanangal” “deerkangal” & the epenthentic vowel in Malayalam “Samvruthokaram”

You just take a word in English & “TRY” write it in malayalam…Lets see what happens?

Now I feel pity on kenney jacobs comment

“Malayalam is no sacred thing.. its just a f****** language. Why are we trying to give it some god like status ?”

I said, I am not campaigning for Malayalam, but am damn against who abuses their mother tongue, like the one who made the above comment

Maybe it does have letters for all possible sounds spoken in Malayalam.

I does not have a letter to represent the “A” sound in even such a simple word as “bank”. Some try to approximate it to Bey-nk or Bah-nk when it is written.

It does not have a letter to represent the pronounciation of “G” is Spanish. (Which is a soft G – almost sounds like H)

These are two small

However, these does not make it an inferior language. It is the way it is and has all the sounds to represents the words in this language.

It is OK to be proud of ones language. But to claim that it is the most superior language in the world is not a wise statement.

Again, I agree with your opinion that the young generation should be made aware of the literature of Malayalam. But even there, moderation is the key, as after some level, the benefit that people get from the education diminishes and only the people who are interested should be learning that.
