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.
People should have become mature voters and not think on narrow lines,they should vote for development, true secularism not psedusecularism like the Congress and dmk
The author is quoting old opinion polls projections. The reality would be much different.
Lol, it is clear that Sumanth C Raman’s stomach has been burning after seeing the DMK’s Trichy rally. Grow up, man.
I was not sure until today Stalin was still alive.
It is time marauder of millions of Russian people should be handed over to international court of justice.
Stalin is so sick that he cannot pronounce his own name. Stalin becoming “Stralin” is going around in social media besides his other funny and loose speeches. The fight for the CM post is going to be tough and as far as I am concerned (everyone can speak only for themselves not withstanding the “polls”) EPS is having a clear edge. He can bank on ten + percentage of BJP’s vote which will eventually take the AIADMK allince upwards of 45% vote share. The voting pattern of 2019 Lok Sabha polls is at the maximum an aberration.
68 yrs Stalin is already 69 on March 1,2021..the columnist deployed by I pac did his goebalism nicely….thanks to His master P Chidambaram some one close earned Judge post in India
Stalin must be handed over to Russian authorities so that he can be prosecuted for crimes against humanity committed during his tenure. The millions who perished in Gulags and faced firing squads deserve justice.
