In addition to my earlier post on dinasaur's admiration for Ravan, let's venture a bit more into secularism as practiced by M. Karunanidhi.

On Id
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam president, M. Karunanidhi, said that Id-Ul-Zuha marked the <b>event of the Prophet sacrificing his son to remove poverty and herald prosperity for the people</b>. Bakrid, which underscored the importance of charity was meaningful this year as there was paramount need to extend voluntary help to those affected by the tsunami.

On applying tilak (1999)
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Chief Minister and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam president M Karunanidhi has stirred a hornets' nest by advising partymen, particularly those belonging to the youth wing, <b>not to bury the ideology of late rationalist leader E V Ramaswamy (Periyar) by applying tilak on the forehead</b>

Karunanidhi said he did not know whether Mani erased the tilak from the portrait as soon as he saw it. ``But he should have erased it''.
