DMK Stays True to Dravidian Roots, Fights Centre on Funds and Policies
The New Indian Express Tiruchy
|May 06, 2025
EVER since Dravidian politics took root in Tamil Nadu, it has been well established that the state has displayed an inherent tendency to oppose attempts at centralisation of powers by the union government.
Fuelled by the strident opposition against Hindi imposition since pre-Independence and a strong sense of pride in the Tamil identity, the state has almost stood out among others in its resistance against encroachment on autonomy of states.
Among the two major Dravidian parties, it is the DMK that has been more vociferous on the issue. One key initiative by the DMK, after becoming the first regional party to come to power on its own in 1967, was the constitution of the P V Rajamannar committee to study centre-state relations and suggest suitable measures to devolve more powers to the states.
Irrespective of whether the DMK has been in power or not, the fight for states' rights has been its key plank, albeit occasional malleability shown due to political compulsions, especially when it was sharing power at the centre.
