Sivagnanams’s Tamilarasu Kalagam demanded the name change and invoked the contributions of Sankaralinga Nadar when CN Annadurai came to power in 1967 and that is how the name change happened.
Re-invent and preserve Tamil culture and progress should be the political philosophy of Tamil Desiya Iyakkam and not politics of hatred, negativism and anti-Brahmin venom.
Shakuni caused destruction of the Kaurava clan but on the contrary Periyar helped his followers to capture power but did nothing to eliminate caste system within his manufactured race called Dravidian.
If the untouchable Brahmins and Dalit join together with Narendra Modi led BJP, a New Tamil Nadu is possible and the present Dravidian politics can be banished.
All the recent genetic and anthropological studies have shown that no two separate race of population exist in India and the theory of Aryan versus Dravidian is nothing but a myth.
To divert people’s attention from Hindu cultural linkage of Tamil language and Sanskrit, the myth or illusion called Dravidian origin and Aryan invasion was coined, promoted and milked politically.
