u r on extremely weak ground. the examples u quote are nothing in cmparison with the violence in politics that has prevailed in our country. the dmk has never appealed for votes on the basis of caste or religion. the dmk followed the legendary periyar in dismantling brahminism which was perverse and was suffocating a majority of the people. the youth always talk about eradicating caste. the youth of our country should realise that the dmk has laid the foundations for the eradication of caste. mgrfan excels in misinformation. it is a shame that i should be asking this,but i ask him to reveal whether there was any loss of human life during the rationalist movement or during any other movement organised by the dmk.
