For quite a while, the Dravidianist propaganda account We Dravidians ably supported by the ruling establishment has been peddling venom and lies that Dravidianists usually do against Hindus, Hinduism and especially Brahmins and the Indians from the North of India.
For the past few days, ever since AP Dy CM Pawan Kalyan went on the offensive targeting DMK scion Udhayanidhi Stalin, the Dravidoids went into a tizzy and the war of memes and words was boiling over on social media. Here are some examples of the tiff.
Over the weekend, the admin who was handling this propaganda handle was exposed by netizens.
Who Is Kathir R Sukumar Or Kathir RS?
In a short reel published by the PEN (a political consultancy firm founded and run by Stalin’s son-in-law Sabareesan) he is identified as a Chemical Engineer who became and entrepreneur and toured many countries. The video also states that he is from Velankanni in Nagapattinam and is said to be the first engineer from his village with a degree in Chemical Engineer. He apparently started off as a reporter in 2001.
The now exposed admin of We Dravidians, is apparently also a published author! What did he write you wonder? Well, he wrote the biography of TN Chief Minister MK Stalin! Titled, “Why Do We Need MKS As PM Of India”, this book doles out great “knowledgeable” content. Here are 5 gems from the book.
“India is a corrupt nation. But Indians are equally or more corrupt than the politicians themselves”
The author, speaking as an ordinary citizen, argues that the common man is even more corrupt than politicians, unintentionally proving his own point in doing so.
“DMK is the only party in India without any proven or convicted corruption charges”
The author lists countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Cuba as examples of “functioning democracies”. Either we, as normal humans, have misunderstood the meaning of “functioning democracy,” or this statement is proof of a parallel universe where these countries truly fit that description.
“We have had socialist, liberal, Hindutva PMs. We are yet to see a left/Dravidian Prime Minister” The book mentions HD Deve Gowda as a South Indian PM – as per the logic of Dravidianists, is he not Dravidian? What makes somebody a Dravidian? Are they excluding Karnataka from the “Dravidian nation”?
“Declaring the PM candidate and then facing the election is a very unfair practice.” ironically, the DMK themselves have been declaring their CM candidates always. They had a campaign entirely centred on the theme “Stalin Dhaan Varaaru, Vidiyal Thara Poraaru” (Stalin is going to come (as CM) to give us dawn). Is this a fair practice?
Here is another book he wrote. Amazon has the book titled “Honey Don’t Say You Love Me: A Non Novel” on its repository. The book is marked suitable for 13-18 year olds! The description of the book reads, “Honor killing was perpetrated by Akbar, when Laila was buried alive and Kulothungan beheaded Ambikapathy. Only in India even romance is a political epithet. As some idiot said, in India marriage is not a bond between two individuals but between two families. Before falling in love, you match your Religion, Caste, Society, Status, Job, Money equations and horoscope too. In the west, boys and girls have free sex before marriage and become loyal to their partners after matrimony. But in India, boys and girls remain celibate before marriage and cheat on the partners after wedding. The primary reason for adultery is the pseudo system called Arranged Marriage. Its actually a shamefully ironical thing in India, that the very parents, who prohibit their children having sex before marriage, drag them to the “First Night Suite” and let them have passionate sex with a stranger… You all may be wondering why I talk about all these heavy issues in the preface..Simply because, Im not going to talk about any of these issues in the book. Seriously, its a tale of two little hearts.”
He is also a singer and lyricist!
Notably, Kathir also wrote on his blog centered around Jesus/Christianity. Some of his videos also went viral, exposing Kathir’s very Christian-leaning side. His Velankanni connection seems to be the reason. The entire blog praises Jesus, calls him a reformer, and portrays Jesus as a hero because he “spoke out against the tyranny of the Judaism he was born into.” These words show how much he “loves” Jesus. “But it was Christ who, through his reasoning, was the first in the world to produce the reverse idea that a man should turn his gaze within himself. That is why he is called a reformer.”
In a video, he introduces himself to the interviewer about his ideological leanings. He says, “Myself Kathir RS. I am a writer and engineer as well. I am an entrepreneur. I work on the WeDravidians movement. We mostly work on social media. We also conduct conclaves and meetings, and we join people like Abhi Gowda in protests like anti-Hindi and anti-Sanskrit protests in various places. We are also part of the Dravidian City movement. So, as a whole, we are voicing for South India, which is Dravidians. So that is our main focus. Our work is towards that. Other than that I am an engineer as I told you. I have a small company running on my own.”
When asked if he belonged to any particular political party, he said, “Yeah, we support any party that supports the Dravidian ideology. Currently, we are supporting the DMK party in Tamil Nadu, and we also support the INDIA bloc in the whole nation.”
He has also written why “Dassera – An insult for Tamils” on his blog. He writes, “Today in all central and north states of India ‘DASSERA’ festival is being celebrated. This Festival is being celebrated every year by burning Ravanan’s statue or cut out. All Know Ravanan was one of the Tamil kings.He used to be one of the great shiv devotees.. Amazing musician.. Intellect.. Scholar and Highly discilplined husband to his wife, a great king of his country and his people. The Indians who celebrate this day must understand that knowingly or unknowingly they are making a big mistake and insult to tamil people. Also the government must think about the sensitivity of this matter and must ban this festival.”
When he stood exposed, he started deleting tweets from his Kathir R Sukumar handle, locked it and even deactivated it in the end.
Ties With Ruling DMK
From his social media posts, it seems that he has been functioning at the behest of DMK. His book on MK Stalin was launched by Jeyaranjan, the Vice Chairman of the State Planning Commission (SPC), DMK MP MM Abdullah, Dravidianist and self-styled Bharatanatyam dancer Zakir Hussain.
He has also been pictured with DMK Industries Minister TRB Rajaa.
His handle is closely followed by many of the top DMK leaders and Dravidianist handles.
Complaints were filed against the handle for posting derogatory content about Pawan Kalyan
