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.
How could a MP be an investor in primetime media channel. Total failure of democratic system.
In India have we ever seen a politicians going behind bars for the level of corruption our country is known for ?. Small time thieves rot in jails for years without justice while our politicians though engage in corruption and criminal acts never get punished. Whom should we blame ? the judicial system, the investigating agencies or cases being high jacked by the criminals by engaging high profile counsels who cannot be effectively be challenged by the investigative agencies. As the writer says definitely there was scam and the Supreme Court cancelled the licences issued by Raja and team. It is sickening to watch the Congrass and DMK celebrating the event. If justice has to prevail and if the citizens need to have confidence in the legal system, the investigating agencies have to take the matter to the next level. We have seen what happened in the case of Jaya’s disproportionate assets case where the lower court held her guilty while the Karnataka HC gave her a clean chit, but when the matter went to the Supreme Court, she was charged guilty with a rap on the HC judge and an appreciation for the lower court judge. We hope justice will prevail and the guilty get punished not in hell but here on earth !
Under whose watch the investigation was going. Was it not the Modi Govt. Then is the PM not guilty of incompetency
Does this indicate ‘Sab mile huye hai ji‘?
Who was responsible if there were any loopholes in the investigation? The Government I think.
You are right sir, I hope justice will prevail. But justice delayed is justice denied, we should remember.
In our country this is the scourge of all high profile criminal cases- sloppy investigation and inept prosecution- allowing criminals to slip away. This has happened the umpteenth time. Lot of glare is brought prematurely on every high profile case, accused are media-tried and maligned without trial and alas let away at the end of court trial just because prosecution failed to bring a water tight case.
