Rationalist, dmk started by splitting from periyar's party dk. Young turks anna and mk formed the party citing periyar's marriage to a young girl. That is past now.
But do u really think dmk is practising periyar's principles. Periyar was against all all elite classes. At that time, it was brahmins, muslims and christians. Now it is only christians among them who are having power. MK is trying to satsify them as I said by banning da vinci code. Please tell me y he will ban davinci code but continue hurint other religious sentiments. What happened to pakkatharivu nanbaa?
