Alteration of origin of the word "Tiru" to Dravidian instead of Tamil. Let's bow down to Balaji, and accept the fact, rather than bringing false pride.

Hello all, I would like to raise a concern about the recent modification made to the article on Tirumala, where it is stated that Tirumala is of Dravidian origin. I believe this change is inaccurate and needs to be re-evaluated. Historically, the term "Tiru" (meaning "sacred" or "holy") is a widely recognized Tamil word and is frequently used in Tamil place names, religious contexts, and literature. It is deeply rooted in Tamil culture and tradition. While Dravidian culture encompasses several languages and regions, attributing the origin of the name Tirumala solely to "Dravidian" rather than recognizing its strong Tamil connection dilutes its specific cultural significance. The original content accurately reflected this connection, and the recent change seems to overlook the historical and linguistic importance of the Tamil language in this context. Manipulating historical and cultural facts can mislead readers and disrupt the authenticity of the information. It is essential to present accurate and well-researched data, and I urge the editors to revert the article to its previous version, acknowledging the Tamil origin of "Tiru" and the cultural significance it holds. I encourage open discussion and fact-based contributions, but we must ensure that regional or personal pride does not distort the truth. Let's preserve the integrity of history and respect the cultural heritage that these names and places hold. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sroheethicloud, I've restored the original sentence because the 3 sources that were cited were unable to verify the information. I've retained the second sentence out of good faith as I'm unable to access that source. Eucalyptusmint (talk) 14:53, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
