The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) is a prominent political party in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, with a significant presence in the Union Territory of Puducherry as well. Founded in 1949 by C.N. Annadurai as a breakaway faction from the Dravidar Kazhagam,…   which was led by E.V. Ramasamy (Periyar), the DMK was established on the principles of social justice, equality, and the promotion of Dravidian ideologies. The party's foundation is deeply rooted in the Dravidian movement, which initially focused on the social emancipation of the Dravidian people, primarily non-Brahmins, from the perceived discrimination and domination by the Brahminical caste hierarchy.<br /><br />The DMK's values and political agenda have evolved over the years, but it has consistently championed the rights of the Tamil people and worked towards the socio-economic development of the state. It advocates for the preservation and promotion of Tamil culture, language, and heritage, standing against the imposition of Hindi and striving for the autonomy of Tamil Nadu within the Indian Union. The party has been a staunch proponent of state rights and federalism, arguing for greater decentralization of power from the central government to the states.<br /><br />Social justice remains a cornerstone of DMK's ideology, with the party actively working towards the eradication of caste-based inequalities and the upliftment of backward communities. It has implemented various welfare schemes aimed at improving the lives of the marginalized and disadvantaged sections of society, including women, children, and the elderly. The DMK also supports secularism and has positioned itself against communal and divisive politics, promoting harmony and unity among the diverse religious and ethnic groups in Tamil Nadu.<br /><br />Throughout its history, the DMK has played a significant role in Tamil Nadu's political landscape, having been in power multiple times. The party's influence extends beyond politics, impacting Tamil cinema, literature, and the arts, which have been used as mediums to propagate its ideologies and reach a wider audience. Despite facing criticism and controversies, the DMK remains a key player in Tamil Nadu's politics, with a dedicated base of supporters and a legacy of contributing to the state's development and cultural preservation.اقرأ أكثر
