A letter to the Editor:
Dravidian Movement honours women while uplifting the downtrodden and backward classes
 |
Respected Leader,
While addressing the State Conference of the Women’s Wing of Dravidar Kazhagam on 6th September, you expressed your principled desire to use the first letter of your mother’s name in the initials of your name. By this noble gesture you have espoused the cause of women and honoured womanhood. Veterans like you set an example to others in matters like this.
A law should also be enacted on the same lines. Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act should be implemented comprehensively at any cost without any partiality.
I suggest that the offenders of female infanticide should be punished with RI for life and not given capital punishment.
Wearing ornaments is an age-old custom with everyone, especially our women folk. We cannot remove the custom by compulsion in a short period.
Our M.P, and poet Tmt. Kanimozhi truly reminded the ordeal undergone and incessant steps taken by Dravidian Movement to uplift the non-Brahmins, the original native of the country. They have successfully urged the successive governments to take effective measures to bring about their progress, giving equal opportunity with others. Kudos to their sacrifice and hard work coupled with their unflinching loyalty to the cause of making the non-Brahmins to live with equal respect with others, irrespective of colour, caste and creed. Equality has to be ensured at all levels. We expect dignitaries like you to ensure this goal, defeating the malafide intentions of those who propagate the principle of birth-based unequal social hierarchy.
Long live the Dravidian Movement headed by Socialist leaders like you following the basic principle of establishing an egalitarian social order, without any fear or favour. You must live long to protect the downtrodden and backward communities from the moves of the Brahmanic upper castes who selfishly protect only their interests at the cost of others. Your service to the non-Brahmins in this context, is laudable.
With regards.
