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.
The most dumb article
First of all there is no category as Main land India. There is only main land China.
I doubt whether the writer is a journalist or habitual blogger
This is not a travelogue or a feature on Modiji ‘s visit to Tamilnadu..only for misleading the readers against Modi’s visit..
An interview or opinion of one person cannot be the views of entire region. Writer knew that the article would be published only if it meant to impress someone.
As a born Kanpuriya, and studied in IIT Delhi – I really want Tamil Nadu to elect DMK and give 0 seats to BJP. Because I want gap between Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu to close – and eventually UP to overtake TN in per capita income in Yogiji’s second term. I wholeheartedly wish you get DMK and extreme corruption that comes with EVR politics.
What ia Bihari’s Sitamarhi???
By the way day by day prints standard is going down it’s a mix of savita bhabhi magazines & the wire & more of these nonsensical views of interns . People are capable of building their views just give us news not views of saste interns
Most idiotic article that fools the readers as goats and sheep. It’s laughable as it credited as edited too. What a waste of time, with this nonsense of senseless scribble.

“Revathi Krishnan” is as South Indian a name as it can get! Why should the concierge be bewildered? Not only should you learn Tamil, you also need to learn your English, as well as the art of lying on the garb of writing articles, which can neither be categorised into political, nor into travelogue variety! Wasted time reading it…

What is meant by “Dipak from Bihari’s Sitamarhi”?
This worker Dipak belongs to a place called Sitamarhi, owned by a person named Bihari?
The political background of the places detailed here are bastions of certain parties. His article is just for “time pass”. Please do a better job next time
What is the matter? Lost en route? This is neither a travelog, nor a political story! Nevermind, I enjoyed reading it.
Democracy succeeds in India because of people lime Lakshmi and Maheshwari who take their democratic right to vote seriously?
