Kanimozhi and Periyarism

Kanimozhi rakes up the Dravidian-Aryan issue

I wonder if people like Kanimozhi will ever grow tired of the stale, putrid, overused anti-brahminical chants of ‘Periyarism’, a stupid brand of politics (read my other article related to this ‘ism’) and so-called reforms started over half a century ago. Its been so overused that one thinks if these people are just desperate and have no other ways of reacting to criticism. Get creative, IMO!

So much for a person who is projected as an intellectual and poetess. But can one expect anything better from (one of) the offspring of Karunanidhi?

The way Kanimozhi became a MP reminds me of a line from the song “Rani Maharani” in the film “Saraswathi Sabatham”. The line is “Yanai Maalai pottadhale ala vantha Rani”… translated that “The queen who came to power because she was garlanded by an elephant”. Funny how people could think of such situations while writing songs decades earlier.

Update:

Kanimozhi has written to the Editor of the New Indian Express saying that she never mentioned any of the names as the article portrays and expresses her dismay at the bad reporting. Yeah, right!

Maybe she tried to get the kind of attention her father gets when he thunders that he is a dravidian.

Poor woman! Sour grapes. :P

  1. What else she will talk about? It is quite sad that even educated politicians follow their Thalaivar’s path without thinking twice!
    May be they get away because we, as voters don’t pounce on these fellows and ask for an apology!

  2. Kanimozhi and Karunanidhi need not hide their Telugu identity.

    They have preference of Hindi castes over Tamil forward castes. There are several Hindi speaking castes listed in TamilNadu BC/OBC list. There are also several Telugu and Kannada speaking castes.

    They have changed lines of Thamizh Thaai vaazhthu for which court case is going on.

    Also Karnanidhi came to power seeking Hindi votes by printing Hindi pamphlets.

    He also promised Tamil annoucments in TN airports. Now Tamil has been eliminated all together from Chennai domestic airport.

    Karnanidhi and Co. are made significant achievements in bringing Hindi junk music on FM radio in Tamil Nadu…this did not happen even in Jayalalitha’s time.

    Karunanidhi who came before on Anti-Hindi plank is really only for Hindi…That is why Hindi staff who dont know Tamil are OK in TN airports, Hindi music is OK in TN, Hindi/Telugu/Kannada castes are OK in TN.

    To take Karnanidhi’s anti-Tamil objective complete, the destruction of Tamil culture heritage symbols like Raamar paalam will be another symbol of his ‘Tamil’ contributions.

    Of course when they havi
