Quora on Sanskrit and Tamil.

Quora:
I have seen many Tamil peoples claiming Hindi to be not a pure language. What do they mean by a Pure language?

========================================================================

First mistake we all make is the fact that we all accept Sanskrit as mother of all languages.  This is a big blunder and it is not correct.  Sanskrit as a language is not as old as Tamil. Please note  Sanskrit was fostered only during Gupta Dynasty only to uphold the supremacy of brahminical society.  You will not find any literary work of Sanskrit prior to Gupta dynasty.
I myself am a brahmin by birth but I have the courage to accept fact as fact.  It is these arya brahmins who created a language with an ill moto.  It was these people who stood as a reason to weed out Buddism from India. (It is very sad to note that a beautiful religion born in India and spread all over the world but totally disappeared from India "Buddism").  The language called Sanskrit was created with a vested interest to uphold brahminical society as a king making society (raja gurus are always king makers and kings used to listen to them). The untouchability or apartheid system was the brain child of brahmins.  Please note the varnas mentioned  bhagavath geetha which is written in Sanskrit and upholds the supremacy of brahmins in "chatur varnam maya sristam" that God himself has created four varnas and the brahmins are created from face of God and the untouchables are from his foot (in my view it is bull shit - if god wanted to create such a discrimination among humans, he would have at his liberty created another species not discrimination among men.  I therefore have the courage to say its is bull shit and nothing better than that.  I don't mind where it was written, (be it Bhagavath Geetha or in Vedas), who wrote it, ( "Veda Vyasa or Shakesphere"), in which language it is written (Sanskrit or Tamil), but  bull shit is bull shit, period).   It is for this reason Sanskrit was not taught to a non brahmin and was not a mother tongue of any one.  Let me provide you another evidence of the same,  please read Uttara Ramayana - where in  Shambooka (a shudra for merely doing penance) was killed by Rama (unfortunately Uttara Ramayana is out of print these days only probably because of this reason).   I have asked this question to many as to why Rama killed Shambooka,  I am afraid, no one as yet has given me a convincing answer and I bet they never will.  
Secondly if Sanskrit was Devabaska why it does not have its own lipi.... Sanskrit has no lipi (alphabets) of its own and it uses Devnagri script.  Sanskrit was fostered  not before Gupta Dynasty. Nonetheless, long before Gupta Dynasty Tamil as a complete language existed (with lipi and grammar - refer Tolkappiyam of Tamil the oldest literature of mankind) .  Three Tamil Sangams are held and in first Tamil Sangam, Lord Shiva himself Chaired the Sangam.  That is why in Tamil they say "Thennadu udaya Sivena Porti" meaning Lord who owns South, and rules us and gave us the language called Tamil (deva basha in the ture sense is Tamil) is great.  As a matter of fact there is a lot of Tamil words adopted into Sanskit and not other way round.  I have answered a list of Tamil words adapted into Sanskrit from Tamil for one of the questions posted in Quora (please search for the same to get the list of words of Tamil origin into Sanskrit).   Tamil is unique as it is a complete language,  people have it as their mother tongue, foreign nations use it as official language, Tamil has its own script and has not copied the script from another language like Sanskrit did.  Tamil is older than Gupta Dynasty and therefore goes without saying that Tamil is lot older than Sanskrit.  The oldest known Tamil Scriptures are at least 1000 years older than the oldest known Sanskrit literature.  Tamil is in continuous usage while Sanskrit is dead and buried 100000 meters below the mud.  None of these merits are available for Sanskrit.   It is an uncondonable sin to compare Tamil with Sanskrit.  Tamil is way above Sanskrit, period.
Instead of down voting my post ..... please think over and write to me a convincing reply for at least two of my objections (if not all):
  1. Why it is said that Chatur Varnam Maya Sristam in Sanskrit (i.e. why God discriminates us humans with Chatur Varnam, instead of creating a different species, if he so desired)
  2. Why Rama killed Shambuka in Uttara Ramayana, when he was only doing tapasya.  (I will not question about why he killed Vali that too hiding behind a tree, nor will I ask why he has asked Sita mata to do agni pravesam and also asked her to go to forest, so on and so forth...  they are human in nature I can over look them...  but as a king killing a shudra boy doing tapasya is incorrect and I am only questioning that)
I am from Hyderabad and I have nothing to do with either Sanskrit or Tamil.  I know Telugu a lot more then these two languages.  Please post your comment only for the above two questions.
