In Karunanidhi: The Definitive Biography, Vaasanthi writes about Karunanidhi’s reaction when Annadurai told him to stop sending articles on youth revolution.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
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.
