“North Indians brought the Varna concept into Tamilakam in the name of Dharmasastra.” Really?
Tamilakam was never outside the civilisational framework of Bharath. Even the oldest extant Tamil grammar, Tolkappiyam, contains clear references to the fourfold social order and the duties associated with it.
In Agathinai Iyal, Tolkappiyam says:
“மேலோர் முறைமை நால்வர்க்கும் உரித்தே”
The established order of the Devas is applicable to the all four varnas.
In Purathinai Iyal, it further refers to:
“அறுவகைப்பட்ட பார்ப்பனப் பக்கமும்
ஐவகை மரபின் அரசர் பக்கமும்
இருமூன்று மரபின் ஏனோர் பக்கமும்”
This speaks of the sixfold duties of the Brahmins, the fivefold duties of the kings, and the duties of the other sections of society.
In Karpiyal, Tolkappiyam says:
“மேலோர் மூவர்க்கும் புணர்த்த கரணம்
கீழோர்க்காகிய காலமும் உண்டே”
The marriage rite that was associated with the upper three groups also came to be applicable to the lower group in due course.
So the claim that Varna or Dharmasastra was some later “North Indian import” into Tamilakam does not stand scrutiny

Dear @CMOTamilnadu, when we approached @tnhrcedept over the AC's cancellation of centuries old Yali vahana procession of Kanchi Devarajaswamy Temple, it was stated that the order came from @RameshOffcl. How can a minister of a secular government interfere in a religious ritual?
Heart breaking to see this.

Chennai, Tamil Nadu: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge says, "How can they (AIADMK) join with Modi? He is a terrorist. And he who won't believe in equality. His party won't believe in equality and justice. And these people are joining with them, it means that they are weakening democracy..."
@NITINKML@tarauk DMK is pure evil in this front - The UPA govts relied on their vote. Did bit do anything for states right (Katcha Theevu, education moving back to state subject etc). Just do posturing negotiate for lucrative ministries
@NITINKML@tarauk Propose something - say what you stand for and put it in your manifesto. For instance both major parties put 33% reservation in their manifestos. Even they need 2/3 majority
