Any one who has studied the Jati structure of TN in any depth would realize that Vanniyars in the past used to call themselves kShatriyas (vahni-kula= vanniyar) and actually trace their ancestory to the North. But in the Dravidianist political system of TN they have metamorphosed into OBCs to obviously grab their share of the anti-upper caste pie. Within the upper caste the brahmins are the Dravidianists favorite targets because they had maximum success. While in TN the other jatis are in tremendous conflict within themselves, the Dravidianist system provided them a means of channelizing all the hate against the brahmins. To differing degrees this is seen all over India.
How did this Ramdoss get his medical degree? The answer is due to the reservation raj in TN. Now he obviously did not do well as physician, because he then drifted to economics. He just wasted one seat in the medical school, which is so hotly contested in India.
