		Karunanidhi had been planning for the last 25 years to honour Thiruvalluvar, one of the greatest Tamil poets, by erecting a huge statue of his on the southern tip of south India near the Vivekananda rock.
		It was Karunanidhi's love for Tamil literature and a representation from late Eknath Ranade, former president of the Vivekananda Kendra, that sowed the seeds of the ambitious project in 1975.

		We see that even the life-story of Thiruvalluvar; who wrote the matchless Tamil ethical work Thirukkural, is steeped in hearsay.
		The story states "Aadhi" is the name of a low caste woman and "Bagawan" refers to a brahmin, further since "mother and father are first known gods" Thiruvalluvar worshipfully placed them in his first prayer.
		These fallacies were hoisted upon Thiruvalluvar just to conceal the fact that the term "Aadhibagawan" refers to the First Jaina Thirthankara "Aadinath".
