  One Hundred Tamils - C.N.Annadurai

 Vajpayee's Big Lie about Hindi and Annadurai
Annadurai was not against Hindi and so, by extension, the current rank and file of the Tamil-centered parties should not oppose Hindi as the official language either.

Annadurai was brought to trial on December 5, 1963 for conspiracy to burn the Indian Constitution.

 IV DK, DMK and Radical Politics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
For Annadurai, a mass movement meant the majority of the people, and he therefore was most concerned with developing support among the backward castes.
This distinction between Annadurai and EVR is central to understanding the internal factionalism of the DK, as well as the divergent paths the two Dravidian movement organizations (DK and DMK) took after the split in 1949.
EVR and Annadurai were at the forefront of the campaign against what became known as "caste-based education." EVR, critical of Rajaji's return to power in Madras partly because Rajaji is a Brahmin, was especially vehement, linking his attack to his more generalizerd attacks on varna-shrama dharma.

 Recursive Hypocrisy.: Dravidian Movement - III   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Annadurai resolutions were a direct challenge to the existing elite in the party who were mostly wealthy and 'titled'.
Annadurai's reasoning behind these resolutions was that the party cannot achieve a mass support base, unless it made use of the anti British sentiment.
Annadurai wanted to contest in elections while EVR considered participating in the elections an acceptance of the status quo.

 Prime Minister Vajpayee Talks Nonsense Again
What Annadurai told Vajpayee ("If Vajpayee’s Hindi is adopted as the national language, we will have no problem.”) is a compliment to Vajpayee, praise to Vajpayee's eloquence in Hindi, and NOT a policy statement that he had changed his mind and was willing to accept Hindi as the national language or official language.
It conveys two things: (1) Annadurai was very impressed with Vajpayee's eloquence in Hindi, and (2) Annadurai was opposed to Hindi as the national language and it was totally out of his character to accept it as such.
When Annadurai found out that there were Hindi inscriptions on the stamp, he angrily cancelled the issuance of the stamp at the conference.

 How English survived in India- The Times of India   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Annadurai’s DMK viewed Brahmins as imperialists from north India, and (in its early years) wanted Tamil Nadu to secede from India to escape this domination.
Annadurai did not want this proficiency to become an advantage, and so limited their access to educational institutions and state government services through stringent quotas.
Annadurai was flayed in his lifetime by the Jan Sangh, which spearheaded the anti-English agitation of the 1960s.

Annadurai was a paid propagandist of the National War Front.
Serville adulation to an astounding extent can be seen in the functioning of the organisation, everybody hanging on the words of Annadurai and nobody having the courage or even the right to sit in judgement on his view or to contribute towards the determination of any decision.
Thus the two streams, modern Indian reaction and traditional pro-Imperialism, united on a single platform, that of Annadurai’s DMK to carry forward and develop internal and external reaction’s conspiracy to block India’s march to Socialism and disrupt democracy.

 Recursive Hypocrisy.: A Platform for Dravidian Parties.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
C.N. Annadurai, was one of the first proponents of the idea - "maaanila suyatchi", translated it literally reads "State's Self Rule".
Critic's might find fault with his linguistic chauvinism, but I think it was because of his stand that India is even half a decent nation today(that is another post in itself).
With a rather smart politician in Annadurai, the agitation was so successful that it continues to put one of the two Dravidian parties in power in 2005.

 History of India
It was the heir to two strands of the pre-independence period movements in Tamil Nadu the non-Brahmin movement, which had led to the formation of the pro-British Justice party in 1920, and the strongly reformist anti-caste, anti-religion Self-Respect Movement led by E.V. Ramaswamy Naicker, popularly known as Periyar (Great Sage).
In 1944, Naicker and C.N. Annadurai established Dravida Kazhagam (Federation) or DK which split in 1949 when Annadurai founded the Dravida Munnetra (Progressive) Kazhagam (DMK).
