<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Dravidanad Separation Conference at Conjeevaram in June 1940...
Speaking at Ootacamund, E.V.R. said that he was convinced that India would never become a nation as the interests of one community were against those of others and that therefore it would serve no useful purpose by compelling these numerous interests to joint together. He added that they should be allowed a separate existence, and that the Aryans had no right to compel them (the Dravidians) to accept a certain political formula because they did not belong to Tamilnad.
<b>He stated that the Aryans "like the Jews" had come to Tamilnad "only to exploit the Dravidians."</b> At Kumbakonam, E.V.R. again argued that the separation of Dravidanad from the rest of India was a historical and racial necessity, that Aryans and Dravidians had never mixed and that they had continued to live separately and the cultures of the two races could never meet. It may not be fully correct to say that the two cultures had never mingled over the centuries for in the process of caste mobilization the fusion had taken place from early times.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
