Removal of Dravidian topics template

It is pointless to remove the Dravidian topics template for personal reasons and I know why you removed it. Misplaced Pages is not for one person, but for everybody. It would be up to Administration to decide whether or not to remove this. Removing the template and stating that Yakshagana has lot of things in common with "North Indian" topics too is like removing a Khmer topics template for a Cambodian dance and stating that it has a lot of things in common with Chinese dance even though its roots are Khmer. Now I have personally created a Yakshagana page without knowing there was already one created. I have even went to the library to check out a book on Yakshagana to add to Misplaced Pages. It was a wonderful learning experience to discover that the Kannadigas have a classical dance since not much is heard about it, as well as the rest of Southern India. I notice that the cultures, arts, and languages of India are presented to the world in a false manner. Rewriting history, deletion of items, and moving towards a generic mix and match culture is not the way to go. It is the reason why that India still remains a mystery to the rest of the world, since people keep changing their culture trying to impress the world. People may detest Periyar Ramaswamy of the Self-respect movement, but please let me quote him by saying, "It is when we get rid of superiority and inferiority feelings we establish self-respect for ourselves."

As I said, the term "Dravidian" needs to sorted out in that template. What does "Dravidian" stand for? Dravidian group of languages? Yakshagana was performed based on Sanskrit dramas till recently. Don't try to push your viewpoints in whatever articles you wish. I appreciate your concern and hard work in knowing about Yakshagana, thanks for that. But confining Yakshagana as "Dravidian" is simply not acceptable.Gnanapiti 18:01, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
