How I won the hearts of a hardcore DMK Man
Me :Vanakkam sir , iam coming from Modi ji's BJP Party
He : my entire family is a DMK family for generations
Me : that's why I have come to talk to you
He : You can't change me or any one in my family
Me : I have not come to change

He : Then
Me : I have come to understand your problems and your concerns
He : That's interesting, please come in let's talk
Me : thank you
He : we dont like BJP , its fascist, authoritarian and against interests of Tamil Nadu
Me : ok sir I will note it down

He : Your party can never set it foot in TN, we will not allow your party to take roots
Me : it's ok, kindly answer me the reasons for you being in DMK
He : My grandfather father was a tall leader in DMK , my father was so and so in the party , Iam also active in DMK

Me : Awesome, What's your mother tongue
He : Telugu , we are devanga chettiars
Me : but Sir your party has labelled your community as "Vanderis" ( means refugees)
He : but but but
Me : yes black shirts don't consider you as Tamils, they call you as vanderis , do you agree ?

He ; I dont agree , but that's only for public consumption, inside our party we dont have such differences
Me : So you don't respect your mother tongue ? They are questioning your self respect, yet you are serving them. ? DMK started as a self respect movement but they hurt you

He : you see this is the reason we dont allow BJP, you divide people living harmoniously
Me : Sir our Motto is " sab la saat sab ka vikas" , we didn't call anyone as ," vanderis" , its DMK and its offshoots, did you ask your DMK leadership as to why they are dividing people ?

He : I didn't feel its necessary, iam a Tamilian no one can change it
Me : sir I agree you are a Tamilian, but your party doesn't agree, that's what iam pointing out.
He : I never thought about this, now you have poisoned me too.
Me : 😀😀 sir iam just waking you up

He : your party is communal
His wife : please have some coffee
Me: Amma I dont take coffee, kindly give me water,amma if you dont get angry can I ask you a question, its personal
She :no problem, I wont mind
Me :amma if someone asks you to remove your mangalsutra will you agree

She : How dare , I will slipper anyone asking me to do so
He : How dare you ask this
Me : Sir I didn't ask , but your party and its parent DK has run a mangalsutra removal campaign, do you agree ?
She : yengae , us this true ?
He : yes, what he is saying Is right

Me : Amma do you know about this? She :i am not aware. I will not support anyone or any party asking me to remove my mangalsutra
Me : But amma you and your husband are supporting the very party and ideology that is asking you to remove your thali ( mangalsutra)

Me : Amma do you believe in God
She : please come and see my pooja room, iam very devout Hindu
Me : Amma you have a wonderful pooja room, but amma your family is supporting a party that wants to destroy your way of life , your pooja room, your temples
She : is it
Me : Yes amma

Me : Stalin openly said " we will destroy Santana Dharma,
She : yengae ( pointing towards her hysband) is this true ?
He : yes
She : then why the hell are we supporting this DMK
He : he is poisoning your mind
She : yengae , this thambi has asked right question, why blame him

Me : Amma we are not running a hate campaign like DMK.
He : When BJP comes to power there is communal violence
Me : Sir let's go by real data , if you take the number of CR since 1947 wherein more than 100 people have been killed, there have been 69 riots, 65 during Cong rule

3 during others and just 1 during BJP rule GJ. That too started by Congress. Blame BJP. Now who is communal?
He : BJP is a Brahmin party , we wont allow Brahminism to resurface
Me : our PM is BC, president: Dalit VP not Brahmin, max no of Dalit MPs, Max non Brahmin CMs

Max OBCs mps, mlas , mayors are all from BJP, what's the issue?
He : yet
Me : why hate Brahmins ? Has any Brahmin hurt you
She : no all our family friends are Brahmins, they never interfere in others affairs, they focus on studies and are God fearing, most if them hv gone abroad

He : Brahmins have introduced casteism
Me : the present day casteism was engineered by Christian missionaries abetted and supported by British to divide Hindus and promote conversion, our vedic concept of casteism was harmonious classification of society, not the present one

Me : sir when DMK came to power they said they will abolish casteism, had casteism been eradicated in TN ?
She : not at all, it has deepened. It has grown like cancer in all walks of life , in police appointments, jobs. Transfers, postings , promotions etc
He : it is worse now

Me : both DMK and ADMK are in power for 50 years yet they have not destroyed the caste system, if they are keen why not abolish caste certificates
He : I agree dravidian parties have failed
Me : now the real problem and caste clashes are not involving Brahmins
He : I agree

Me ; if at all there are caste flare ups its between
Dalits vs MBC's
Dalits vs BC's
Dalits vs Non Brahmin hindu upper castes
MBC's vs BCs
MBC vs non Brahmin upper castes

Where are Brahmins in this entire scene? Are Brahmins your whipping boys and punching bags ?

Me ; its royal rumble out there , every one against everyone else , but blame only Brahmins for casteism?
She : what thambi is saying is absolutely correct
He : I too agree, in fact you have opened my eyes. You have been so logical

Amma brings some biscuits and milk
