Brahmin devotees of the Tamil deity Murugan
Dravidianists and Tamil nationalists keep perpetrating the falsehood that Tamil brahmins don't worship Lord Murugan. According to them, brahmins go to Murugan temple but they worship the deity as Subrahmanya or Skanda, the "sankrit-vedic" God, not the "Tamil kadavul" Murugan. It is not very unusual for them to make these bombastic claims but what bothers me the most is many people do buy their narrative. The narrative that tamil brahmins don't worship Murugan is so much against the facts that are staring at our face in our everyday life. One can see many Tamil brahmins saying "appane Muruga" like myself. One just need to have a keen sense of observation. That's all it takes. Here are just a few examples that will prove the mischief mongers false.
