Why are you calling yourselves Rajendra Cholan and Rajaraja Cholan when the state is facing serious problems? People need real solutions, not grand titles. Stop comparing yourselves with royal families and start addressing the issues on the ground.

Why don’t you come and speak directly with the people and sit among them? Instead of genuine interaction, you settle for staged photoshoots done purely for PR. Real leadership requires presence, listening, and connection not curated publicity moments.

You are privileged to hold such positions, and that responsibility requires empathy. Leaders should sit with the people, listen to them, and understand their struggles. Instead, you choose to sit with celebrities while distancing yourselves from ordinary citizens.

Udhayanidhi Stalin lacks the political depth and knowledge expected of a leader, while many women in the DMK show far more confidence and capability than their male counterparts. Yet their talent remains overlooked in the party’s leadership choices.

Why does DMK consistently fail to recognise women as leaders? Even within their own family, Kanimozhi is sidelined, while Udhayanidhi is crowned the political heir. This shows how deeply the party’s leadership mindset still ignores capable women.

Jayalalithaa gave Dalit leader Yelumalai the confidence to contest in a general constituency. Can DK or DMK point to a single instance where they offered such space and dignity to a Dalit leader? Their record doesn’t even come close.

Every Dalit man and woman should look up to Satyavani Muthu, whose courage and fight for dignity still inspire. Though DMK erased her from its history, her leadership proves how powerfully Dalit voices can reshape society with determination.

These were Dalit leaders who genuinely wanted to uplift society, yet they were treated unjustly. Many Dalit leaders remained silent, but she never did. She founded her own party, joined ADMK, and later rose to become a Union Minister proving her courage and conviction.

She faced constant humiliation simply because she was Dalit. DMK betrayed her, targeting her with false accusations, while she endured caste slurs and discrimination. Yet she continued her fight for dignity, justice, and equal representation despite the injustice around her.

Satyavani Muthu built a college in Vyasarpadi without Karunanidhi’s support, raising donations herself. Yet he took the credit. In fact, many movements and achievements she initiated were claimed by Karunanidhi, even though they were originally her ideas and leadership.

She was the key reason Dalits shifted from DMK to ADMK. Her influence drove that major political swing, and ADMK’s loyalty to Dalits made the transition stronger, reshaping Tamil Nadu’s political landscape in a lasting way.

MGR and Satyavani Muthu were crucial to Karunanidhi becoming Chief Minister. Without her support and influence, the Karunanidhi family might have struggled. Her role was decisive, yet history rarely gives her the recognition she rightfully deserves.

Satyavani Muthu was as powerful as Kamarajar, shaping key political currents. Dalit leaders like her built DK and DMK; without them these movements would be nothing. Yet her contributions were ignored, showing how Dalit leadership rarely received deserved recognition.

When someone donates something as valuable as a ruby, the temple administration must ask about the source of income. Proper verification is essential to ensure transparency and prevent any misuse or unlawful contribution.

Why are Dalit voices and activists still oppressed, even when they seek equality and dignity? Even Thirumavalavan faces disrespect from the Tamil Nadu government, showing how Dalit leadership is sidelined and deep structural bias continues.

If Periyar truly valued reform, why didn’t he recognise Satyavani Muthu, a strong Dalit leader? Instead, he handed leadership to Veeramani from a backward class, raising questions about how Dalit voices were sidelined even within reformist spaces.

Nobody could match Satyavani Muthu’s political influence in the 1940s and 1950s. Her leadership, bold decisions, and commitment to justice made her a dominant force, shaping movements and inspiring countless people during a transformative period in Tamil Nadu politics.

“Satyavani Muthu was a kingmaker in Tamil Nadu, advocating Dalit rights within the Dravidian movement. Despite her ministerial roles, Dravidian leaders sidelined her, reflecting efforts to erase Dalit histories as she championed welfare, education, and justice.”

At the very least, the police should have confiscated the idol for proper investigation. They didn’t even take that basic action, raising serious questions about the handling of the entire issue.

How was the idol moved, and who authorised such an action? No individual or contractor has the right to alter or relocate sacred heritage without explicit approval from the competent authorities responsible for protecting temple antiquities.
