Why are the Mayors in Tamil Nadu and Kerala called"Worshipfull" when both governments are run by atheists?

Question

Major parties in Tamil Nadu swear by atheism and are anti-Brahmin. The ruling communist party in Kerala swears by Marx, socialism ... but in all public functions, their Mayor is addresssed to as "Worshipfull Mayor".. Is the Press sleeping?

Answer 1

Communists and D.M.K. are so nostalgic of British rule that they prefer English to Hindi and worship offices instead of God. Brahmins like Nehru,Rajaji,Prakasam,Tenneti,G.B.Pant,Shankar Dayal Sharma,Ananthashayanam Iyengar and several others sacrifised a lot to end British rule and so English worshipping politicians hate Brahmins.

Answer 2

The question is wrong. While addressing the mayors in tamil we say வணக்கத்துக்குரிய மாநகரத்தந்தை (roughly translated as respectable mayor) which has nothing to do with worship. So the atheist sense still remains. in fact none of the office holders are kept on par with gods even by people who follow gods. The term worshipful might have been left by english legacy and doesn't reflect the tamil equivalent we use to call the mayor.

Answer 3

Hypocrites.
