Tamil Nadu is a very difficult case
The BJP cannot break through as it is PERCEIVED as a brahmin north Indian party
The only way to break through is to let Hindu Munnani be a separate tamil hindu party
sort of like Shiv Sena is a Marathi hindu party

In the medium term if fat diabetic JJ passes on, the AIADMK can perhaps evolve into a hindu tamil party

Thanks to dravidianist politics, being anti-hindu is considered cool

The rank and file of AIADMK has many hindutva hindus

In Tamil Nadu, most places, there are no muslims and muslims are considered dravidian
The xtians are mainly crypto xtians and they keep hindu names and hindu dress
and the adheenams are mainly bought off

Populist hindus such as Melmaruvathur has weekly visits from Xtian priests where they read the bible

Anti-Xtian stuff is only done by Kanchi mutt and Swami Dayanand Saraswati
both considered 'brahminical'
