Far from it. Can Brahmins please please please get together and talk about it? This is an urgent need of the hour. Im Ok with people of other states, no matter which caste they belong to. Tamil demons, kindly excuse. Go to BJP/RSS.
There is unimaginable Brahmin hate in Tamil Country. It has been going on literally non-stop for more than one hundred years. More disturbing than that is people saying Dravidian Movement is anti-hindu, and 'church' is doing these things.
Dravidian Movement was built by the defacto powers of tamil country in order to defeat the efforts towards freedom struggle that Brahmins in Congress were trying to take. The Non-Brahmin Manifesto lamented that Congress had changed a lot. THE NON-BRAHMIN MANIFESTO (1916)
The 'Congress' started out as a cosmopolitan club for the rich and influential people. At one point, Brahmins flocked to the 'Congress' and used it to rouse crowds for freedom struggle. The other castes in 'Congress' did not exactly feel about this as strongly as the Brahmins did, but played along. This will get too complex, but I don't want to get into it at the moment.
But Dravidian Movement, as well as a most toxic Brahmin hate in Tamil Nadu, were built chiefly by 3 castes
- Nattukottai Nagarathar (a.k.a 'Chettiar')
- Saiva Vellalar (title - 'pillai')
- Thondaimandala Thuluva Vellala Mudaliar
There is an other caste identified with the title 'mudaliar'. Sengundhar or Kaikolar Mudaliar. Apart from Annadurai and Bharathidasan, I do not know of any other kaikolars at the forefront of the Nagarathar-Vellalar (Dravidian) Movement. And, Saiva Vellalas, the chief agents of Brahmin hate in tamil country, have many sub-groups. There is thondaimandala kondai katti vellalar. Chozhiya vellalar. Kaarkaatha vellalar. Pandiya Vellalar. Kongu Vellalar Goundars have contributed too, though they were not at the forefront, AFAIK.
So, the one hundred years of Brahmin hate in Tamil Country has been carried out by the topmost and most ritualized, sanskritized of tamils. Chettiar + Mudaliar + Pillai. The Brahmin hate of Periyar was simply an amplification of a source signal. Periyar or karunanidhi or DMK are not the source signal. They are amplifiers.
The source signal of Brahmin hate in Tamil Country was always Nagarathar + Vellalar.
எந்த தலைவருக்கு பின்னாலும் ஒரு தமிழ் ஆசிரியர் இருப்பாராம். காரணம் தமிழ் ஆசிரியர்களுக்கு பின்னால் பெரியார் இருப்பாராம். சைவ பிள்ளை கொஞ்சம் மாத்தி சொல்லிடுச்சு. தமிழ் ஆசிரியர்களுக்கு பின்னால் பெரியார் இல்லை. பெரியாருக்கு பின்னால் தான் தமிழ் ஆசிரியர்/புலவர்கள்.
Periyar was simply an alibi for the infinite brahmin hate of Chettiar + Mudaliar + Pillai. I don't know how Brahmins could be so asleep so as to not see what this group has been doing to them in Tamil Country. Periyar's caste, balija naidus, ruled TN and Sri Lanka via Madurai, Gingee, Tanjore and Kandy Nayaka Dynasties. அதனால் தான் அவர் பெரியாரே. But since the collapse of proper monarchies, a band of elites have been the string pullers in the lower area. Vellalas and Chettis. Balija Naidus needed the support of this band of tamil elites in order to be effective. They did not know the people. This combo of vellala + balija was at work in Sri Lanka too. Eelam war was not tamil vs sinhala. It was vellala vs non-vellala. Maybe I'll write about it too.
Now, what happens when you ascribe Nagarathar-Vellalar (Dravidian) Movt and its Brahmin hate to anti-hindu non-hindus?
The hindu/saiva tamils automatically become good guys!! As if to say all evils are created by 'church' to defeat hinduism, by uprooting Brahmins first. That notion fans the egos of Brahmins and that's why they are not relinquishing it. This is disastrous beyond measure. If you call it anti-hindu, you make good guys of the 'hindu' tamils. But fact is that the hinduest of tamils built Brahmin hate and Dravidian Movement.
I don't know how many of you have read this very poorly written book called 'Breaking India' by Aravindhan Neelakandan Rajiv Malhotra. Rajiv Malhotra does not really have the creds to say the things he has been saying. Plagiarism row: How Rajiv Malhotra became the Ayn Rand of Internet Hindutva
I have a doubt whether Rajiv Malhotra was approached by Vellala mafia to write a book saying such things. We seriously need more heads. More clear heads.
Dravidian Movement was pact between upper shudras Chettiar + Mudaliar + Pillai + Balija Naidu, and lower shudras Vanniyar + Nadar + Konar + Goundar et al.
What's happening today is that the lower shudras are simply breaking away and jumping to RW. Most of the guys in today's TN BJP/RW are the very groups which helped keep Chettiar + Mudaliar + Pillai's Dravidian Movement and Brahmin hate alive. But they are now acting as if they had nothing to do with it. They are shifting to India's narrative of Hindu vs anti-Hindu. India/BJP doesn't know Tamils and Tamil Country. It thinks the problem is indeed hindu vs anti-hindu. But the tamils in hindutva know that it is not so, BUT THEY STILL SAY IT! They are burying mountains of truth.
We need more heads.
