Short illustration of how Dravidam works.
Prof Senthalai Gowthaman claims that Tamil was suppressed as an 'inferior' language by Brahmins. Palm leave bundles in Sanskrit and Tamil were set afloat. By a clever technique, the Sanskrit manuscripts were made to float and the Tamil /1

bundles sunk into the stream.
The truth is that Appar in his dialogues with the Jains is said to have done the same. The Jains doctrine in Sanskrit was said to have sunk and the Tamil works of Appar floated back. What happens if this lie is countered?
Simple. Brahmins hated /1

the thought of non-Brahmins learning Sanskrit, so they had Appar use this technique to make them give up the thought of learning Sanskrit and had them stick to Tamil.
If you point out that Appar was actually a Vellala, you will get only radio silence.
Next, the Kolaru Pathigam /3

was sung by Thirugnanasambandhar laying all kind of omens and poor astrological positions at the feet of Shiva and placing his trust to make every moment auspicious. Prof Gowthaman lies that it was sung by the Vellalar Manickavasagar as a protest against Varnashrama Dharma /4

If you point out the lie, he will just pivot and say - 'Look the Brahmin tricked you into believing astrology to make a living, but he never has much faith in it himself'.
There is no 'intellectual response' to it, since the basis of Dravidam is irrational hate. The critical /5

weapon is hate and the critical armor is shamelessness. They will lie brazenly, and never in an assembly where they can be countered /END
