"my country" ? remember it was given by the Brits on a golden platter. More history lessons, Periyar asked for Independent Dravidanadu , DMK's Annadurai - secession from India. Tamils have nothing (culture or genetic) in common with Indians. Why do you think I posted this thread on Tamils and Sumerians ?
I didnt want you to worry, as you were in anxiety for the Tamil cause - refer your post #36
India involvement in Lanka's affairs - was to "teach Sri Lanka " a lesson

LTTE was trained and funded by India to fight its proxy war in Lanka
Just like DMK, once a fringe group there are many "fringe groups" fighting for Tamil's rights and nationalism. I can't indulge any further
just a few previews

even Tamil students and women will rise up against Hindu fascists - they have no fear
except for Kashmir, you dont see this happening in other Indian states especially the 4 other southern states
1.
Its my country now. Tamilians from India (not from Sri Lanka) spread all over India, even you can find them in North East. My city Kolkata was the karmabhumi of the most famous scientist from TN, Dr C.V. Raman. My niece has got Tamil blood as well as Bengali blood in her.
Even the famous thalaivar is a born Marathi.
2. Now little history lesson.
In 1960, the DMK leaders decided to delete the demand of Dravida Nadu from the party programme at a meeting held in the absence of Annadurai. Annadurai abandoned the "claim" for Dravida Nadu – now geographically limited to modern Tamil Nadu – completely in 1963 due to the secessionism act by Mr J. Neheru. And Annadurai never looked for a separate country but a autonomous state within India.
Mr. Erode Venkata Ramasamy - He was born in a Kannada speaking family having roots from Karnataka. You know rest of his party almost got disfunctional, during his marriage to a lady almost 40 years junior to him in 1948.
But he was one of the great man India has ever seen, I will mark him more as a social reformer than a politician, cast less society, woman rights, anti Hindi fight, upscaling Tamil literature, rationalism, atheism was his great contribution which helped South India to come out of Brahmin hegemony.
You know his demand of independent Tamil Nadu was because of his fear of Brahmins controlling TN. Infact he at the time of
Sino-Indian War of 1962, he proclaimed that his party would stand up for the integrity and unity of India. His first demand was present 5 state Dravid Naidu, then retracted to only Tamil Nadu which comprised areas of north Sri Lanka in 1947-50. This time he started loosing his trusted lieutenants, main reason being his demand of separate country which they don't agree. His campaign of separate country was periodic and used to come once in decads. Next time it was in 1960 and again in 1968.
His idea of separate TN country was smashed when DMK (party formed and running on his ideology) got mere 15 seats out of 205 seats in the state assembly in the year 1956. 1962 DMK deleted the demand of Dravida Nadu. Now they trippled their seat to 50. At a party conference in 1963, DMK formally dropped the secessionist demand and it devoted more attention to the language issue (which I support as well). This resulted a mojority for them with 138 seats in 1967.
3. Post 36 doesn't answer
As you pointed now DMK is not a Tamil nationalist party now, so who is going to fight your cause?
4. LTTE was a Himalayan blunder from India for which they have to pay hard. I am not denying it. But I suspect you as anything than Indian Tamil, maybe Sri Lankan Tamil or a Malaysian one.
5. It happened in my state. Members of BJP central committee was beaten and Mr. Shah was not allowed in many parts.
Now the famous incident of BJP part chief indulge in a brawl. According to the words of Dr Samy father of Sofia the lady with whom the BJP chief had a fight.“Tamilisai was sitting in the third row. We were sitting in the eighth row. She had to pass by us to deplane. When she was passing by, my daughter stood up and shouted ‘down with the fascist BJP government’. I didn’t expect that she would do that. Tamilisai turned and looked at my daughter and then walked out. She paid no heed to her. She couldn’t speak at that point. She should have either retorted to my daughter or gotten angry. She didn’t do either,". She exactly used “BJP-yin fascist aatchi ozhiga”(Down with BJP’s fascist regime)..
Now where in these statement you find about Tamil nationalism?
Myself stand with the lady Sofia in this cause, she shouldn't be arrested, but simultaneously it was not appropriate for her to say these inside a plane.
