For long, Tamil Nadu has been indulging in cultural terrorism courtesy of personalities like Periyar and parties like DMK who have repeatedly associated Sanatana Dharma with Brahmanism thereby destabilizing Hindu society from within and aiding the missionaries in their attempts.
Udayanidhi Stalin, the son of the Chief Minister Stalin had earlier compared Sanatana Dharma as a vile disease that needs to be eradicated and now he has gone a step further and said Sanskrit is a ‘dead language’ while accusing Narendra Modi of promoting Hindi and Sanskrit at the expense of Tamil.
The DMK heir-apparent has apparently forgotten that the majority of people in Tamil Nadu are Hindus and although they have chosen to vote for his Party, he does not have even the minimum common sense to respect their feelings.
Protecting the native language and culture of the State should be the primary prerogative of the State government and not the Centre.
Besides, when Stalin and his fellow Christians have no problem communicating in English, a language imposed on India by invaders, why should they have a problem with Hindi, a language that would help Tamils to communicate better with their brothers and sisters across India?
Brahmins are the spiritual guide to Hindu society but the rulers have always been from diverse castes and communities across India.
As such, associating Brahmanism with Sanatan Dharma does not mean a dominance by the Brahmins. However, the arrogant political parties of Tamil Nadu and demagogues like Periyar have always used anti-Brahmanism as a tool of hatred to promote their own personalities and Parties, yet their actual or real contribution to India has been zero.
Blinded by arrogance and power, Stalin and his ilk conveniently accuse BJP of causing communal flare-ups. If that is the case, Stalin and the others are also equally guilty, they are cultural terrorists.
It’s high time that the Hindus of Tamil Nadu stand up for Sanatan Dharma and against cultural terrorists who seek to divide India for their own electoral and material benefits.
