I was not trying to prove that Arjuna was black. As i said it all
in my two posts, i JUST replied to ramaNa garu that there is some
prima-facie evidence in atleast one of the verses of Nannaya to think
that Arjuna was black.
The last word 'it' could be 'my claim/statement that there is a verse'.
(I replied the second time becasue ramaNa said he couldn't spot it!]
This was intentionally 'value' neutral. Absolutely egoless!

I am at a loss why on the earth you drove yourself into
reading more into sentences than what they mean and
continued to speak truisms!
My last two posts were FYI only. Such posts need not be replied to!
As a matter of fact, this one is one such too!
