There are two prominent parties here; Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), founded by C.N. Annadurai, as a breakaway from Dravidar Kazhagam and defiantly chaired by Muthuvel Karunanidhi since 1969 and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) founded by M.G. Ramachandran and headed by Jayalalitha Jayaram or Jayalalitha or more commonly revered as Amma. Both leaders are treated like Gods and celebrations on their birthdays or any salutations offered are no less than godly proportions. So even while the world has moved on, you might still steal a glimpse of a senior bureaucrat humbly holding the footwear of the leaders while they try to navigate their feet, or a top cop holding an umbrella in utter penance during rains over their lords’ head.
In reciprocation, the lords bestow their grace and blessing on the common man. So it is not unusual to hear during the election times elaborate gifts being doled out. They range from providing cheap rice (staple food in South India) to providing televisions and washing machines. The parties leave no stone unturned in belittling the other when one comes to power. So in the past, the police have been used to physically pick up Karunanidhi from his house in the wee hours of morning while Jayalalitha was convicted in a case for possession of assets disproportionate to her income during times when the other party was in power.
Tamil Nadu politics holds significant importance in the overall political equations of the sub continent, due to its strategic geographical positioning. It is one end of the country that is bound by vast Indian Ocean and has direct access to a sovereign nation, Sri Lanka. The impending assembly election has all the likelihood of breaching the Dravidian fortress hitherto dominated by the two southern political parties. The national political parties henceforth strive to overpower the linguist and racial divide perpetrated in the state and bring in fresh proposition for the populace here.
