DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Sunday said the ‘Dravidian ideology’ was not outdated, but it had rendered Sanathana dharma, Varnashrama, Manu Needhi, humiliation in the name of caste and suppression of women outdated.
Addressing a public meeting to mark the completion of two years of the DMK rule, Mr. Stalin recalled Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi’s remarks that the “Dravidian ideology had expired”, and asserted that only the Dravidian ideology had the power to defeat the Aryan and other ‘invasions’.
“It [Dravidian ideology] is a weapon and that is why the Governor is afraid of it. But he should not have any fear since the objective of the Dravidian model is construction and not destruction. It will only reform, not crush; it will not subjugate anyone but treat everyone equally; it will not boycott anything but stand shoulder to shoulder,” Mr. Stalin said.
