The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, or DMK, is a regional political party based in the state of Tamil Nadu and the Union territory of Puducherry. As of March 2024, it is the party in power in Tamil Nadu — headed by Chief Minister MK Stalin — and the lead opposition in Puducherry.
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) can be translated as Dravidian Progressive Federation, and the party adheres to social democratic principles, championing equality and social justice while promoting Tamil nationalism. The party is known for its anti-Hindi imposition policy and for legalising and popularising self-respect marriages — that did not involve priests presiding over the ceremonies.
The DMK, which was founded in 1949, traces its roots to the Justice Party of 1916 (later known as Dravidar Kazgham) and the work of Thanthai Periyar and Perarignar Anna. It was founded by Annadurai as a breakaway faction from the Dravidar Kazhagam. The Justice Party aimed to advocate for the rights and representation of non-Brahmins and socially disadvantaged communities. It fought against caste-based discrimination, championed social justice, and worked towards upliftment through educational reforms and reservation policies. The party played a significant role in shaping the Dravidian movement and had a lasting impact on the socio-political landscape of South India.
cliched words are fast approaching their end . if people truly resist, the nepo kids will be the first ones to be shown the door.
In Freebies Nadu, there is no question, reason, and resist. All are economic illeterates.
Bro thinks that only Tamils reason. That’s why BJP can’t come there. But they accept huge freebies keeping their mind closed :). Even TV, washing machine etc. TN should feel part of Indian mainstream. They are nothing without north and East Indian labor which they get so cheap.
Excuse me, which parties have introduced “hate” speech laws in this country ? AAP in Punjab, Congress in Karnataka ? Didn’t you just get endorsements from the AAP and aren’t you in alliance with Congress ?
Hypocrites.
