Hi Cleo

Missing your posts after reading these here :)

Just a small request - Pls use S Indians or the specific name of the community instead of Madrasis which really bugs me most. Just as all N Indians are not Punjabis, all S Indians are not Madrasis. There's a whole plethora of cultures and communities down south. 😊

IMO The north indian south indian arguments are totally unwarranted.

Carry on your convo! Enjoying the debate and waiting for Sandhya's response.

I have given my final response. Healthy debates, i do enjoy, but not ones like these.

@Sandhya : Hi, have you completely left JA? Miss your arguments too 😊

I do pop in once in a while, but the show has lostits sheen, so nothing much to write.

Missed these MOST Recent conversations which happened today.

I request all the respected members who all are senior to me, to please leave this matter and i apologize for any untowardly happening, here on this thread, being the TM.

While till few posts back many of us were interacting on the topic - be it OUR old JA in comparison with historicals or the new show here, the discussion NOW is deviating from the topic ; thread's content do not subscribe to this current debate. I earnestly hope that we will leave the old discussions behind and discuss Ashoka here in a fresh manner. We have had a lot of genuine debates before, and we have agreed and disagreed, in the spirit of a healthy conversation, and i hope we will continue to have them in Ashoka also. :)

My final comment on this topic and Apologies from my end.
Abhay

I may be novice here amongst great debaters, but this whole s vs n is truly in bad taste...CSA, I think is the heritage of whole India, as is Akbar, Pratap, Jodha/ HK, Noor, PRC or even a Jai Chand or a Mir Zafar...black, white or grey, like it or not history has varied shades which we can't chose but learn and feel.

I guess TM will take a note of this, and try to avoid

It is this racism that has irked me most. The moral science teaching shade and the i-am-never-wrong that was given to the Jodha of the serial was not appreciated by many. But any comment was immediately linked to the clan and supposed to be derogatory. The makers were making an idiot out of the able king to suit the standard heroine-mahaanta formula. Love, i can understand but such majnugiri ? Well, anything that was criticised on the charecterisation was again taken as an insult to the real MUZ and her clan. Where does thequestion of clan come in at all? Most of the comments there used to be serial based. If you really had to complain it had to be against the cvs.

I have no partiality to Mughals, only to Akbar as i believe he WAS indeed a great king. Not flawless or perfect but nevertheless great. I am no fan of Ghori or Ghajini. And where have you read anything derogatory about Maharana Pratap. And Ashoka, whom i have mentioned in this very thread as another favorite emperor is very much north indian. If there is any other Chola/pallava king who belongs to the list, what is so tease-worthy about it. In fact, my hometown doesn't fall under the Chola zone at all.

May i ask the reason for your contempt by continually using the 'Madarasi' term. It is a pity that you see clan and race everywhere and in everything. You need to remove your coloured glasses dear and judge people by what they are, what they speak and not what clan/ community they belong to esp your north indian/south indian attitude.

Speaking of Rajat Tokas, yes, he is an exceptionally good actor. But again, aren't you hitting below the belt by terming appreciating him as a harmonal response.

I am quite disappointed at your thinking. Anyway you are the boss of your thoughts and are free to your opinions. I didn't want to argue on this totally unrelated topic here but Infact you were the one who brought up this argument in this thread of Abhay that was on Chanakya. I don't want his thread to face any warning, so i call it quits and am not coming back to argue with you.

than to have no heart or mind and picking an argument just for the sake of it .

MOderator : Please take a note of language like this. This is the response for trying to point out on name calling like Madrasis, Akbar liker means anti-mughal etc.

Can you please take appropriate action ? I have already reported it.
