99.99% of Tamil Brahmins will continue leading their lives happily despite no Brahmin MLA or MP in Tamil Nadu. But don't like attitude of AIADMK & TN BJP where they take Brahmin votes & support but pretend they don't exist during election time. Brahmins might be only 2% of votes but they have influence well above that thanks to their clout in Tamil society even today. Even DMK acknowledges the clout of brahmins. So this attitude of AIADMK and TN BJP is really pathetic and disrespectful. They will get what they deserve which is a big defeat.

Pure Tamil has 60 percent Sanskrit words: e.g., Karunanidhi is of two Sanskrit words—Karuna and Nidhi. The DMK vocabulary was created by British Imperialists in India.

I'll hit D-stocks with 5: > Cholas themselves claimed to be descendants of Prabhu Shree Ram, of the Ikshvaku Solar lineage ( Tiruvalangadu Copper plates) - understand what invoking lineage means politically, before crying about race in my comments. > Medieval Chola kings invited Brahmins from North India, particularly the Gangetic plains, to settle in Tamil Nadu, and gave them tax-free Brahmadeya land because they believed these skilled Brahmins to be a boost to the local Shaiva tradition. > Vedic gods like Indra, Varuna, Vayu, Agni, etc. are mentioned in Sangam-Era texts, and an attempt was made to localise and integrate them. > Pandyan kings employed within them an Aryan warlord from Kalinga, who was used to attack Sri Lanka, a tale denoted in the Sri Lankan Buddhist text as 'Kalinga Magha', where the Kalingan warlord is described as a ruthless invader who destroyed Sinhalese Buddhism, and re-established Dharma in the region. He stayed back in Sri Lanka and started the 'Ariyachakravarti dynasty', which lasted from 1250 CE to 1619 CE, when the Portuguese invaded. > The Maratha ruler Venkoji (half-brother of Ch. Shivaji Maharaj himself) defeated the Madurai Nayaks in 1674 and ruled TN for 181 years, and actually protected and fortified the Brihadeeshwara temple by building the Maratha Gate.
