When you do something wrong, make sure witness is dealt with

In a village a man was raising a fat sheep. The watchman of that village set his eye upon it. One day he stole it and took it home. His wife was very happy and cooked it. She made a very tasty dinner. Their son was sleeping in the outhouse. They wanted to share the tasty dish with their son. They wanted to bury the rest of the curry. So they devised a plan to bring their son inside the house and give him. But they were worried about their son knowing the theft.

So according to the cunning plan his wife went to the rest house and woke her son. At the same time the watch man poured a pot of water on him. Both of them shouted,

“Oh my god, heavy rain. Please take him inside”. All of them went inside. His son was given his share.

As expected the boy told his friends about the tasty mutton he had the previous night. When the owner of the sheep came to know about it , he complained to the local magistrate. All of them were asked to appear before him.

Both the watch man and his wife were in the witness box.

Magistrate asked,

Did you cook mutton curry last night?

No, said they.

Your child says so, he replied.

We do not know what night he says he ate it , said they.

The justice looked at the boy and asked,

What night did you eat mutton curry?

Last night there was heavy rain. And my parents took me inside the house and I ate the mutton.

Magistrate said,

There was no rain last night. This little child might have eaten it some time ago. So last night is wrong.

He sent them away after dismissing the case.

Thieves will escape by trick. But one day they will be caught- says a Tamil proverb.

DIVIDE AND RULE

Two friends were traveling to another country. On their way they took rest at the entrance of a house. In the villages there used to be a pial, a bench like construction at the entrance of each house.

They observed that the husband and wife living in the house were affectionate. One of them looking at the other said, observe their harmony.

He was astonished and replied, their friendship will never change.

The one who heard this said, see I will make it change and made a bet on it.

After wards he met the couple and spoke to them like an ascetic. The woman and her husband saluted him and gave him food and shelter.

One day when her husband was away, the man said,

“Madam, you are a great woman. But your husband is not that good. You are very faithful. Your husband is not. More over he was a salt seller in his previous birth”.

So saying he was sorry.

How may I know that? She asked anxiously.

At night when he is fast asleep, lick his feet and it will taste salt.

Then he met her husband separately and told him,

“You are a good and worthy man. Alas! Alas! That you should have for your wife who is in a former birth was a street dog. I am sorry to tell you the truth”.

The worried man asked the ‘ascetic’ man,

How may I know this?

At night pretend to be sleeping and see whether she licks your feet. This is was she is doing every night.

Accordingly, his wife woke up in the midnight and walked like a cat and licked her husband’s foot.

He woke up and shouted at her,

You dog! Get out of the house now.

She said to him, You salt seller, I know you from day one! I won’t live with you. I am going to my mother’s house now.

She packed her things and left the house in the morning.

Before dawn both ‘ascetic’ and his friend also left the village.

This is what foreigners did to Indians.

They divided the country into Aryan and Dravidian which is not in Tamil and Sanskrit literature.

They divided the country into India and Pakistan.

They said Aryans drove out Dravidians out  from Indus Valley. But all the skeletons in Indus valley are of Punjabi stature; no Dravidian skeletons at all!

There is no basis or proof for Aryan invasion or Dravidian cowards running away to south from them. Literature shows that both of them are sons of the soil.

They criticised everything in Sanskrit. They never touched Silappadikaram or Peria Puranam. They never criticised anything in Sangam literature though it repeated Arundhati story, Sibi Story, Ramayana story and Mahabharata story!

There is a proverb in Tamil, if a buffalo sees a simpleton, even it would say to him you are my darling lover. Foreigners knew Tamils did not know their own literature!
