Will Mathrubhumi brand Santhosh Madhavan as a Moulavi ?

A Siddhan is a Hindu scholar one who is accomplished (read the rest below, which is quoted from Wilkepadea). Siddhans are usually Shiva Bhaktas. Indian media and political leaders are not only ignorant, but also so much afraid of inflaming the highly combustible Muslim community, that they insult Hindus instead of reporting truth. Mr. Virendra Kumar, send your reporters for a short course in Arabic. Also encourage them to read the Quraan at least once so that they know that it is not a taboo in Islam for older  men to marry younger girls. All Hindus have a right to seek an apology from Mathrubhumi for the inappropriate use of the word “Siddhan.”

One who is accomplished” and refers to perfected masters who, according to Hindu belief, have transcended the ahamkara (ego or I-maker), have subdued their minds to be subservient to their Awareness, and have transformed their bodies (composed mainly of dense Rajo-tama gunas) into a different kind of body dominated by sattva. This is usually accomplished only by persistent meditation.

A siddha has also been defined to refer to one who has attained a siddhi. The siddhis as paranormal abilities are considered emergent abilities of an individual that is on the path to siddhahood, and do not define a siddha, who is established in the Pranav or Aum – the spiritual substrate of creation. The siddhi in its pure form means “the attainment of flawless identity with Reality (Brahman); perfection of Spirit.”
