SORRY, YOU DONT SEEM TO KNOW ABOUT TN AND ITS DEMOGRAPHICS.

Thevars, Nadars, Gounders are all numerically very strong communities... They are also people who have a strong sense of caste and community kinship feeling and they will not let something like that ever happen. So Thevars, Nadars will never ever allow a Periyar Like person to ever emerge.

Hi (no name), you never know what is going to happen in future. Thevars are further divided into piramalai kallar, servar, kallar, ambalam, and etc. The thevars will be further minuted and some section may be discriminated. Nadars are further divided into Nadars, OBC nadars, panaieri nadars, christain converted nadars etc. They also will be minuted and targetted. I think you now atleast agree that I know something about TN and demographcs.

surely none of them are above 50%. As happened with Brahmins, majority will pick a particular community.They have to identify a scapegoat community for all the problems of Tamil Nadus, it is the essential hallmark of a divisive ideology like Periyars to put all blames on a particular community.

Yes. I know not much about TN's politics, but I think there was a top Thevar leader during 1930-50s who was a big supporter of Subhas Bose, Indian National Army.

Hindutva groups have started incorporating him. Oravin Togadia paid tribute to his statue last year or so.

Hindutva will gradually spread to TN if not already. And as seen from Bihar and UP they will incorporate all other groups who are discriminated by DMK/AIADMK.

Yes Bhaskar. This is being fuelled by the so called followers of Periyar by damaging temples, statues, abusing brahmins, attacking the innocents. The present TN government is silent in these activities for the reason better known to everybody. People are watching these atrocities cooly and should give them befitting reply.

No Nadars. They are the one who are shining in the business. The present government is hell bent on family representation in all businesses.
