Dravida Nadu: from political oblivion to centre-stage<\/p>\n

The demand for a separate Dravida Nadu has become a talking point exactly 55 years after the DMK dropped the idea in 1963.<\/p>\n

Though the idea was in the air for quiet sometime, especially after actor Kamal Haasan sought to theorise it before the run-up to the launch of his party, it was DMK working president M.K. Stalin who brought the issue to the fore when he responded to a question on the perceived momentum gaining in support of the demand.Mr. Stalin subsequently argued that the neglect of the southern States by the BJP government at the Centre had actually fuelled the idea. To drive home the point, he quoted DMK founder C.N. Annadurai\u2019s famous statement that \u201cthe reasons for creation of the Dravida Nadu continue to hold good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the concept of Dravida is a philological term introduced by Christian missionary Robert Caldwell, and according to his biographer Vincent Kumaradoss, the word gained currency following the publication of his Comparative Grammar in 1856.<\/p>\n

Caldwell said he used the word Dravidian instead of the narrower term \u201cTamulian\u201d, which has found its place in all works on the Indian languages, and argued that Dravidian languages were fundamentally different from Sanskrit and had a common origin.<\/p>\n

The Dravida Nadu as a political idea was originally floated by Periyar E.V. Ramasamy who came out with the slogan \u201cTamil Nadu for Tamils\u201d in 1938 in response to the plan to introduce compulsory learning of Hindi across India. By the following year, his clamour had changed to Dravida Nadu because of the South\u2019s cultural oneness. Though Periyar said the two demands were the same, it never gained traction outside the Tamil areas.<\/p>\n

\u2018Outdated idea\u2019\u201cThe idea of Dravida Nadu is pass\u00e9. It never gained traction.<\/p>\n

Among other things non-Tamils did not share the concerns of the Tamils and perhaps felt that they would be dominated by the Tamils in any such arrangement,\u201d explained R. Kannan, the biographer of DMK founder C.N. Annadurai.<\/p>\n

\u201cIronically, in 1955 when the idea of Dakshin Pradesh was proposed by the Centre, Periyar \u201ckilled\u201d the idea at its birth telegramming Chief Minister Kamaraj to oppose it as the non-Tamils would dominate in such an arrangement,\u201d said Mr. Kannan.<\/p>\n

Today, the demand for more powers and autonomy are being articulated by the other southern States in the same way as it was articulated by the DMK as early as in the late sixties, he pointed out.<\/p>\n

However, describing the Dravida Nadu as an \u201coutdated idea\u201d, Su. Venkatesan, general secretary of the Tamil Nadu Progressive Writers and Artistes Association, contended that Periyar had defined non-Brahmins as Dravidian.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday the Dravidian identity has transformed into nationalities based on languages. The BJP is launching all-out attack to erase the linguistic identity of various nationalities, there is a need to protect their rights and identity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Those wedded to the ideology of Tamil nationalism are also highly critical of the idea of Dravidian concept and P. Maniarasan, the leader of Tamil Desiya Periyakkam, felt that it was a ploy to quell the emergence of Tamil Nationalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Mr. Stalin is really serious about creating a Dravida Nadu, let him visit the neighbouring States and muster support. Is he ready to include the proposal in the election manifesto of his party? Is he ready to convene a special general council of the DMK to propagate the idea,\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

The Jinnah connection<\/p>\n

It was the idea of Pakistan, articulated by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, that served as a precursor to Periyar reiterating his demand for Dravida Nadu. He even led a delegation to Bombay [modern-day Mumbai] in 1940 to meet Jinnah.<\/p>\n

He had gone to Bombay on an invitation from the non-Brahmins there and was accompanied by his lieutenants P. Balasubramaniam, T.A.V. Nathan, Thiruvasagamani K.M. Balasubramaniam, T.P.S. Ponnappa, C. Panjatcharam and C.N. Annadurai.<\/p>\n

Periyar would meet with B.R. Ambedkar and Jinnah. But Annadurai was not present when the delegation met the leader.<\/p>\n

According to R. Kannan, the biographer of Annadurai, the former Chief Minister was not interested in the delegation simply meeting Jinnah as a matter of courtesy, and pleaded with Periyar to have a definitive plan and seek Jinnah\u2019s support.<\/p>\n

While Annadurai said the delegation returned with bitterness, Periyar touted the meeting as a success, assuring that there need not be fear among anyone that they\u2014Jinnah and Periyar\u2014had entered into an \u2018alliance\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018As populous as England\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cOn 7 January 1940, at a public meeting in Dharavi, Bombay, Periyar maintained that Tamil Nadu was as populous as England and as large as Germany, and that with Jinnah\u2019s and Ambedkar\u2019s help, he would establish its freedom,\u201d Mr. Kannan said in his book.<\/p>\n

The difference of opinion over India\u2019s independence and Periyar\u2019s marriage to Maniammal led to the creation of the DMK in 1949. Annadurai was vociferous about his demand for Dravida Nadu and dropped it in 1963, in the wake of the 16th amendment banning secession and its advocacy.<\/p>\n

The DMK also dropped the idea of separation from its constitution, settling for a closer political and cultural union between the southern States.<\/p>\n

In the 1970s, this was again changed to limit the party\u2019s aims to striving for a closer cultural association between the southern States.<\/p>\n

Periyar maintained that with Jinnah\u2019s and Ambedkar\u2019s help, he would establish T.N.\u2019s freedom<\/p>\n
