Tamil Nadu has lost the claim that it was the foremost state that had kept Brahmin domination under severe check for over 35 years from 1954.
It is a shame upon the Dravidian Movement as a whole though it remains in different hues. According to me C.N. Annadurai’s emergence after 1945-1947 as the General Secretary of the DK and the way in which he diluted the. policies of the DMK after 1954 has led to the present shameful ‘ condition in TN.
All other leaders of the Dravidian parties have contributed to this downfall in varying degrees and in different ways. It requires a lot of. discussion between us. have criticized CNA’s activities in electoral politics in a very. constructive manner through me. Tamil weekly in 1957.
My charges against him levelled in 1957 stand unrebutted by any of his colleagues even after 33 years. foresaw this downfall then itself clearly. CNA was the first fake the Dravidian ” “movement met with.
Fountain head of corruption: During the long period of 17 years rule of the Non-Brahmin Party in Madras between 1920-37, there were eight Chief Ministers out of whom 2 were corrupt men and the rest six were unblemished. CNA as CM was not corrupt but it was, he who corrupted the very process of thinking of the writers and speakers and educated men and women for over 20 years from 1945 to 1965.
Karunanidhi as CM became the fountain head of corruption and power-mongering and MGR surpassed him in all these respects.
As a man of celluloid world, it was easy for him to glitter as gold in the eyes of the masses. All that glitters is not gold. But this simple proverb has been thrown for winds by the mindless and misled Tamil masses particularly young men and women – both literate and illiterate.
DK also bungled: That the DMK (in 1971 and 1980) and the ADMK (in 1977, 1980, 1984, 1989 and 1991) served as lackey of the Fascist Cong (I) to suit their convenience and save their skin has led to the downfall of these political scoundrels.
Even the DK had bungled between 1979 and 1988 in extending official support to DMK and ADMK. It smacks virtual insincerity to its professed principles. And now very many men of ADMK have gone to prostrate at the feet of the pipette and hail her as the saviors of the Tamils. DMK’s self-centered strategy also must be held responsible for the downfall that came like a thunder.
