Karunanidhi was a great leader of world tamils. Dravidian identity was founded by EVR Periyar and followed by Anna. But Karunanidhi made a strong base for dravidian identity in tamil nadu and ensured only a dravidian party can rule tamilnadu, let it be DMK or ADMK or MDMK or PMK. ADMK AND DMK only are ruling the state from 1967 onwards. As a staunch savior of dravidian identity, he has to cross swords with GOD, Brahmins, Sanskrit, Hindi , Sinhalese as one time or other they try to dominate over dravidian tamils. MGR and Karunanidhi are bitter enemies only in politics,BUT PERSONALLY VERY CLOSE AND UNDERSTANDING LONG TIME FRIENDS.
Let us not talk about family rule and money making in politics, because who in cong or Bjp is not doing that. All politicians are one and the same as far as money making and family politics is concerned. One or two who are clean and good are in the passive and in below middle level positions in every political party.
