Why does the claim that DMK are anti-Hindu ring hollow? Are DK/DMK really enemies of Hinduism?

Thread.

There are 2 ways to approach Hinduism.

1. The RSS/BJP route: Empower Jains, Brahmins & Banias. Use OBC/SC Hindus to riot against Muslims and throw them under the bus in the name of law and order.

2. The DK/DMK route: Educate OBC/SC Hindus and help them stand on their own feet.
Route 1 is also called the North Korea route. You brainwash OBC/SC Hindus to such an extent that all they know is to be slaves to RSS/BJP leaders (most of whom are Brahmins/Jains) and attack Muslims when told to. They aren't given education or jobs. They only know to be thugs.
Intensely brainwashed to believe Muslims, Christians, SC Hindus (for OBCs), dissidents, etc., are enemies to be exterminated at all costs.

They're plunged into darkness at a young age. The light is snuffed out of their souls. They're radicalized and turned into soulless demons.
Their souls and worldly lives are irreversibly lost forever.

There's a good reason RSS/BJP hate education so viscerally. Their claims to development ring hollow. In their worldview, only Jains/Brahmins should be at the top of the hierarchy. Others are only meant to serve them.
The same Jains/Brahmins will send their own kids overseas or become foreign citizens. You won't find their kids participating in the "long term civilizational war" @TheJaggi demands of others.


@ShefVaidya's kids are American citizens as are @MrsGandhi's.
Meanwhile, many of those who engaged in rioting against Muslims in Delhi would barely be legal adults. What triggered them to commit unspeakable atrocities against people who did nothing to them, that too at such a young age? This is a clear case of child abuse by RSS/BJP.
What happens when some of them, at some point in their lives, realize that their lives are hollow and empty?

They not only leave RSS, they leave Hinduism itself in some cases.

If you present somebody with justice or religion, they don't abandon justice, they abandon religion.
This is one in many reasons RSS/BJP keep implementing anti-conversion laws whenever and wherever they're in power. Because they don't want to lose cannon fodder for their future conflicts.

They've upped the ante and are now kidnapping Northeast kids.

This way, RSS/BJP keep the majority of the Hindus (OBCs/SCs) brainwashed. Meanwhile, Jains, Brahmins and Banias enjoy life with no hassles.

This is brutal but brittle. When a mass awakening happens among OBCs/SCs, RSS' version of Hinduism will collapse like a house of cards.
Now let's move on to route 2. The strategy of DK/DMK is to empower the Hindu majority (OBCs/SCs) with education and employment. To be sure, Congress intervened and threw the spanner in the works with ADMK, but DMK's momentum held Tamil Nadu together for a very long time.
Educating women and giving them equal rights in property inheritance was a huge leap forward. That helped them take control of their lives.

Giving them extra help like maternity benefits ensured they didn't need to worry while taking care of children.

Hence the low birthrates.
The 69% reservation system despite its flaws actually helped the vast majority of OBC/SC Hindus to get good education and jobs which were unimaginable a century ago.

What happens when you're educated and have a good job? You wouldn't bother to engage in riots or massacres.
You'd focus on improving your lives and taking care of your families. You're not desperate for food/shelter, so you don't need to convert to another religion or get radicalized.

(that's also why Sanghis themselves bark from their AC rooms instead of fighting on the streets!)
An educated and empowered populace doesn't need to worry about any conspiracy. They only need to worry about their day-to-day lives and those of their families.

This was the route taken by DK and DMK. Periyar especially focused on women empowerment and the abolition of caste.
Thanks to Periyar's relentless efforts, the Tamil population is well-educated and contributes significantly to India's economy both as a state and as a people.

Nobody worries or even bothers about Hindus in danger, Islamic/Christian/Communist conspiracy to take over India, etc.
Because they know it's baseless.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention: more than 60% of all entrepreneurs in Tamil Nadu are Dalits.

And they aren't saying Hinduism is in danger or rioting against others. They're taking care of their lives and families.
In other words, if you remove religion from politics, you don't need to worry about religion at all.

This is the end of my thread on approaching Hinduism politically in India.

Thank you all for reading. Have a nice day.
