Dravidian Movement’s Political Dramas

திராவிட இயக்க அரசியல் நாடகங்கள்

Abstract

Even after India’s independence from British colonialism, the Vedic Sanathana dominated the majority of people. The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam criticised the ruling Congress party in Tamil Nadu. At the same time, the ideas of social reforms against the social atrocities that dominated the Tamil society of that time were depicted through political dramas. The Dravidian movement’s political dramas particularly portrayed the views against the caste inequality, untouchability, gender inequality, mythological myths, and Sanskrit dominance created by the Vedic Sanathana.
