My letter to the editor of DC, finally got fed up with their coverage of the Tamil conference. Predictably it din't get published.
Dear sir,
I am following with keen interest DC's coverage of the Classical Tamil meet in
Coimbatore. I cannot but help get the feeling that the paper endorses the political
ideology of the present Tamilnadu government which is based on a colonial construct called
the Aryan-Dravidian race divide. Scores of scientific reports based on DNA analysis have
come out which have proven that the so called Aryan and Dravidian divide is false and no
substantive foreign immigration has happened in the subcontinent since the Holocene era.
The last straw was a report in today's newspaper which reported on how Karunanidhi
represented the "Aryan domination over Dravidians" in his work in cinemas. Reading such
articles I have come to ask the question, "Divide and Rule" certainly has worked well in
India, hasn't it? When will we get rid of the colonial hangover?
Best wishes,
A proud Indian
