DMK an evangelical wing in India.

The Christian Dravidian identity was not simply an ethnic pride , but also gave raise to a separatist political movements.

Anna Durai ‘s vocal separatism was drawing together “ the anti Brahman, Christian Dravidian heritage ,
and the Tamil cultural theme as a belligerent challenge to the government of India.

In 1949 an American Crawford Young helped and funded Anna Durai to start DMK, with separatist idea which is still prevails..

USA covertly supported DMK’s separatist ideology during Cold War.
They needed a ploy to counter act Nehru who was leaning towards Russia, what US policy makers regarded as Nehruvism threat for a possible WW-3.

But the 1962 chinese invasion created a strong wave of Nationalism, and led to a constitutional amendment that made separatism illegal.
To show his anger DMK launched a severe anti-hindi campaign against the Union. The movement became militant even to this day.

T N Seshan clearly documents the money flow from USA routed thru Sri Lanka in his biography in 1994,
it became so controversial that he was attacked physically.

Yale invited Anna Durai to participate in the prestigious Chubb Fellowship program in 1968, making him the only non American to be so honoured.
