Translation of the letter Shri H Raja wrote to Shri Kamala Hasan... Dear brother Shri Kamala Hasan, Namaste.!! You recently celebrated your 61st birthday. I too express my hearty wishes. I write this letter in response to your speech on the occassion. Several points made by you were around "Atheism", "Rationalism"....You said, that you were neither a believer (Aasthika) nor a disbeliever (Naasthika) but a rationalist, because both these words are Samskrit words. I would like to point out that your own name Kamala Haasan is an unadultrated Samskrita word. Shruti, the name you have given to your daughter is also a Samskrita word denoting the Vedas..I'll suggest to you to try and find Tamil Names. "Let Gods be in one's own pocket and not be thrust on others" You have suggested. I welcome your suggestion. None of the believers object to anyone being a disbeliever, but disbelievers in their effort to thrust their disbelief on the believers, mock...
