Mr Karunanidhi was good at Tamil according to this book. So who taught him to read and write in Tamil? Obviously it was a school. He didn’t clear school. Many don’t even today. But that is not the issue. All his life he blamed the minoritized brahmins for denying education to the so-called Backward Classes. His own knowledge of Tamil in 1930-40s and unwillingness to study further debunks the determined demonisation of brahmins. It is a great shame that not a single politician or media person has condemned the villification of brahmins in the last hundred years. I may be wrong, but his own father held a PG degree even twenty years earlier.
All those who are now saying that “Muslims” should not be blamed for the corona spread, how do they justify the anti-brahmin villifcation and hate-mongering over the past 100 yrs? Entire political class and media should be ashamed of their behaviour and need to apologise to brahmins.
