Dileep You forgot to post it to the group a la Damodar. Even I would like to know the scale of economics of Ramayana etc. given that newer versions are doing the rounds Its also interesting that an avowed athiestic channel claiming roots to the DK, like the Sun group has started pandering to these sentiments
Damodar RSS consiously or unconsciously defines its own identity within a framework which is homogenising and does not want discovery of new Gods or Godesses. Well insofar as desecration is concerned, it is selective - for in this Rajasthan instance, Bishnoi's (Vishnu worshippers) also hold their ancestors in divinity and where possible RSS would want co-option (like in the case of Buddhism, Sikhism or Jainism or any of the numerous adivasi faiths). I do agree that Raje's temple might have more to do with questions of her own political survival Best On 20/07/2008, Dileep Raj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On Sun, Jul 20, 2008 at 8:14 AM, Bobby Kunhu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >> The TBS, DC, Mathrubhumi reference is interesting, UTV movies have ..... >> > > Interesting... but seductively pointing to some tangible reference and > elusively leaving it there and then... > > can anyone go littele deeper into the practice? > Like the intervention of print into this practice.. genealogy of such > (reading/ ritualistic?) practices.. > consolidation of contingent constructions as perennial.. > > Just wild guesses.. > > last but not least, the economics of Ramayana sales shared between > Dc, Manorama, Matrubhoomi etal (in that order?) > >> >> >> -- >> Dileep R I thuravoor >> > -- Bobby Kunhu http://community.eldis.org/myshkin/Blog/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
