Last week, I had an opportunity to read the book titled, Theother side of E V Ramasamy Naicker, published recently. Thisbook has been published by All India Forward Bloc. The authorM Venkatesan belongs to Madurai."When you see the title, you will get a feeling that,this must have been written by a Brahmin. That is wrong. Ibelong to a backward community is the opening line. In thisbook, there are many rare details.
The author lists the reasons for writing this book as:First, I was thinking about EV Ramasamy Naicker as:
1. EVR strived for the Tamil language
2. He served the downtrodden
3. He voiced for womens liberation
4. He never lied; always consistent
With these impressions, I read many books about him. I readall the books of Periyar Self-Respect PropagandaPublications.
In addition, I also read the exposure of EV RamasamyNaicker, by his contemporaries, M P Sivagnanam, PJivanandam, T.P Minakshi Sundaram, U Muthuramalingam Thevar, K.A.P Viswanatham, Kamarajar, Pavanar, etc.As a result, I realized that EVR behaved in a manner thatis exactly opposite to what the people of Tamil Nadu believetoday.
The followers of EVR have shown only one side of him andthey have hidden the other side. As a true son of India, Iconsider it my duty to bring to light what they hid.
After reading this book, even if one blind follower ofDravida Kazagam accepts that I have written the truth, tocome out of the illusion, I would have succeeded in myefforts.The above is the introduction for this book.EV Ramasamy Naickers hatred to Tamil language,
Lies in Islam on castes,
EVRs bogus anti-God policy,
Telling and Doing were always at the opposite,
Twisted history,
Did EVR strive for the downtrodden?
Vaikom agitation EVRs lies and Gandhis role,
EVRs Superior male mentality,
EVR without patriotism,
Masiammais lies and superstitions in later days,
Follower Veeramanis contradictions and superstitions.are many captions the author Venkatesan uses to prove hispoints.
In Appendix, there are additions in the title, These aboutEVR, with views expressed on public meetings byMuthuramalingathevar, Linguist TP Minakshisundaram, Kamarajarand Jivanandam,
Let us see some interesting parts from the first chapter titled,EV Ramasamy Naickers hatred to Tamil language.
EVR lived and behaved like a Tamilian, but his mother tonguewas Kannadam. Yes, the language in his house was onlyKannadam. He was very proud to advertise in his speeches andwritings that he was a Kannadian (Dr MP Sivagnanams book Other language people in Tamil Nadu). With this piece ofinformation, the first chapter starts.
WAS EVR A TAMILIAN?
EV Ramasamy Naicker was a Tamilian. He struggled for the Tamillanguage is a false image his bootlickers were creating. Theyare doing it even today. But, do you know how the the so-calledTamil Leader, introduced himself?
Kannappar is a Telungar. I am a Kannadian. Annadurai is aTamilian (Periyar EVR thoughts first part) and I belong tothe Karnatak Balijawar caste (Kudiyarasu 22/8/1926) are theways in which he introduces himself.
The man who proudly proclaimed as I am a Kannadian iscontinuously referred to as Tamilian and Tamil leader. Henot only said, I am a Kannadian, but also criticized theTamil language and Tamil poets a lot.
This is what EVR says in the book, Tamil language and Tamilpeople:In todays Tamil world, some Tamil poets names keepappearing frequently. They are: 1.Tholkappiyan,2.Thiruvalluvan, 3.Kamban. Of these,1. Tholkappiyan was an Aryan servant. The traitor gave asgrammar all of Arya Dharma.
2. Thiruvalluvan, without bothering about paguththarivu,dominated by his own religious feelings supporting Aryanthoughts offered something as scriptures.
3. Kamban, like todays politicians and patriots, used hisTamil knowledge in favor of anti-Tamil pappans, so provedhimself as a money minded Tamil traitor. He is a total liar.Total fraud. He imagined himself to be a pappan, andoffered thoughts even a pappan would hesitate to offer.Thus, this traitor pushed the Tamils down permanently.All these three supported castes and caste basedjobs.In Kudiyarasu dated 20/1/1929, he wrote further aboutThiruvalluvar as:
We can see many things supporting Gods like Indran, Brammaand Vishnu and Arya religious practices and superstitionssuch as Reincarnation, Heaven, Hell, Upper world, Souls,Devas, etc.These are his views about the great Tamil poets. WereTholkaapiyar, Kambar and Valluvar traitors? Good description!If, as creators of Tamil grammar and Tamil Literature, theyearn the name traitors, as the one who insulted the language,is EVR not a traitor?
There are many such points with publication support. TheAppendix carrying the speeches of many patriots is a gold-mineof rare information. In this, the speech by PasumponMuthuramalingathevar, delivered in a public meeting on 1957 Feb21 at Kancheepuram is something special. Venkatesan has repeatedthe great speech by Pon Muthuramalingathevar, for whom bhakthito God and Motherland were two eyes.
Pasumpon Muthuramalingam Thevars speech:There is a group contesting the elections with the call,Tamil love is important; Tamil Nadu must live. It isessential to have love for Tamil. But, see how these fellowsdisplay their love? In their meetings, they keep telling,North Indians, South Indians; North land, South land andattempt to divide us. They say, the next meeting is atJinnah Park. The one after that is at Robinson Park.They have no problem using these names.
At the same time, if it is going to be in Tilak Ghat, theyget angry to use his name. They say, North Indian ----Father ground.
(Sarcastically, Thevar, switches to English):
In what way Jinnah is not a North Indian? How is the namesJinnah and Robinson so sweet to you Sir? How is the name ofpoor Tilak so bitter to you Sir? I am not able tounderstand.
This exposes that you came from Justice Party whoseprimary job was bootlicking the Whites. Further, thesefellows say that, North Indian, swindles Dravidian land.North Indian name must not be here. If present, we willagitate to change it. Very happy.
You agitated to change the name Dalmiapuram. But, you didnothing to change Harvypatti. Why not? Whites name can bethere. That will make you happy. But, you will want the nameDalmiapuram to go. Will any fellow with sense agree?
In Harvey mill, Soundara Pandiyans family has stocks. He isa founding father of DMK. So, your party wont get money, ifyou ask for the name to be changed. So, it will be pointlessto hide the truth from the Tamils, by harping about thelanguage. Understand this. This is the secret.
In addition, they keep shouting Dravida nadu. How dare youask for this? If you had fought for freedom from theBritish, by fighting along with the people when theBritishers were keeping us as slaves, we may say, youqualify to ask for this.
How can you demand Dravida nadu today when we werefighting for independence, you took money from the Britishand conducted war propaganda in their favor? Like thesecret agreement that resulted in the formation ofPakistan, you may also be the fifth columnist for theWhites. We are not mad to be cheated like that.
We want Tamil. No to Hindi, is what they say. In the 1937anti-Hindi agitation, I told Rajagopalachariyars ministry,not to impose Hindi. This is history. If our party comes topower, we will have the name Tamil State. We are notagainst removing the name Residuary Madras State. But, bymisusing the Tamil language name and posing as preserver ofTamil peoples rights, if you are going to bring inagitation to spoil Tamil Culture and atheism in the nameof creating a rift between, Brahmins and non-Brahmins, wewont allow.
How do you protect non-Brahmins, by writing stories likeRomapuri Rani? By writing such stories, how
many school boys have you spoiled? In addition to RomapuriRani, you have also written Thangaiyin Kadhal,
in which you have written that, a brother falls in lovewith his sister. Next, why cant the son marry the mother?What else? Is this, Tamil culture?
My request to all of you is not to support these partieswhich will ruin the lives of school going children therebytake our country in the path of destruction.
This book is a nice documentation of many such fraudsperpetrated by the Dravidian parties. All those who rush tolearn about the other side of Tamil Nadu politicians, mustnecessarily read The other side of EVR.
