With Udhayanidhi Stalin’s induction into the Tamilnadu cabinet you can say we are in the high-noon of the Dravidian movement. A complete washout of Tamizh Brahmins from the assembly, top non Brahmin castes in peak ministries, no challenge from a frightened New Delhi. Cleansed and Crowned !! Today the Dravidian ideology is poised to expand into Bharat via Rahul Gandhi. It has never been better for the Dravidians.

But even in their brightest moment – look what their top intellectual has to say.

Look at the exceedingly clever “கதறியவாளுக்கு” – a swipe at Tamizh Brahmins lingo. It means “those who wailed!”. He is saying in code that for you people Udhay is more dangerous than Stalin. Who is more dangerous than Karunanidhi.

Why should a leader be dangerous to anyone!.

However this is purely in the Tamil language domain. No one outside Tamilnadu would have heard of Karu Palaniappan but the citadel rests on people like him. It is a complete game. The power radiates outside but non-Tamils will not know the source of the power.

Karu Palaniappan the No.2 Dravidian intellectual demagogue

I have tracked Karu Palaniappan for long. I rate him as the number 2 Dravidian intellectual behind his clansman Suba Veerapandian. Karu Palaniappan is a resourceful tireless and studious bigot. He belongs to the Nagarathar Chettiar caste one of the wealthiest groups with ZERO social justice grievance of their own. Hence his focus on baiting Tamizh Brahmins even at the brightest moment of the coronation of their new prince says a lot about the pristine hatred anchored in some elite sections of Tamil society. Since he and transitively his caste have no social justice grievance at all – they cant be pacified.

Do you know what is the most dangerous for Dravidians?

The world gets to know about you.
