Tamil Nadu has over 200 cases filed against one Hindu activist — and the man who planted Christian ideology in the state’s school syllabus is now head of the Minority Commission.
In this frank sit-down session, BJP veteran and Vaniyar community leader Kalyan Raman walks Rahul Dewan through the twin threats reshaping Tamil Nadu: the entrenched Dravidian ideological ecosystem and the accelerating Islamist radicalization following multiple targeted killings of Hindu activists. He traces Dravidianism to its founding moment — E. V. Ramaswamy Periyar wearing black on Independence Day to mourn India’s freedom — and its evolution from rationalist anti-Brahminism into a machinery that now actively enables Christian conversion and political Islam.
The conversation turns sharply specific: a professor from Loyola College openly boasted about planting Christianity into Tamil Nadu’s educational syllabus while heading the curriculum committee. Kalyan Raman’s strategic argument is precise — the RSS and BJP have historically underweighted the Vaniyar community in Tamil Nadu, and this political miscalculation directly explains why Hindu political consolidation in the state remains elusive. The answer, he insists, is not retreat but chariveti — to keep moving forward with greed for civilizational recovery.
