Anything can trigger Tamil-Kannada violence. Even a statue. Unveiling Thiruvalluvar statue in Bangalore caused lot of drama in Bangalore. I feel that there should not be any statue allowed in any public place in the country. Why the hell we need statues? If you like Thiruvalluvar, follow his poems. He advised people against corruption and greed. How many Tamil politicians really respect and follow Thiruvalluvar’s advice?

Our roads are small; there are not enough spaces to go around. In the middle of the road, we have lot of statues. If you go to Marina beach road in Chennai, politicians erected statues wherever they feel like. Few years ago, Actor Sivaji’s statue was erected in the middle of the road. Everyone complained about that, but politicians went ahead with their plan.

Politics is the reason behind all statues in India. Just like caste and religion, statues will continue to trigger violence and disturb the peace.
