Puthiya Tamilagam party president Dr. K. Krishnasamy strongly criticized the Dravidianist political ecosystem, particularly the DMK and its allies, for what he described as double standards in practicing secularism. In a statement issued on 16 June 2025, he argued that true secularism means not aligning with any religion—not selectively siding with a few.
In a statement released on 16 June 2025 Dr K Krishnasamy said, “‘Secularism’ does not mean favoring certain religions; it means not aligning with any religion at all! Declaring India as a ‘Hindu nation’ is the ultimate solution to all problems. It reflects the deep sentiments of 140 crore Indians!
The Indian Constitution is a treasure that encompasses the aspirations of people from all walks of life. The primary goal of the freedom fighters was to liberate India from 200 years of British rule. That’s why their key slogan was “Quit India Movement!” (Vellayane Veliyeru Iyakkam). However, after independence, there was little broad-based thinking among most leaders—except a few like Subhas Chandra Bose about what kind of society India should become. Many of them, were influenced by Western capitalist ideologies from America and Britain. Nehru leaned toward socialism, yet this wasn’t fully reflected in the Indian Constitution. Gandhi spoke of “Ram Rajya,” and also made confusing remarks like “Ram and Rahim are one.” Congressmen of that era held both radical and moderate ideologies. In the Constitution there was a provision that anyone in India can buy property except for Kashmir. But it doesn’t explain the method for how all citizens can practically do so. Even today, such a mechanism doesn’t exist. Private ownership has become an inescapable part of Indian society, making it impossible for Indian society to move toward equality.
At a time when freedom (movement) was at its peak, the Khilafat Movement, centered around Turkey, also participated in the independence struggle. Yet even then, no one knew its true objective. Suddenly in 1946, Jinnah became a pawn in Britain’s divide-and-rule policy and put forth the demand for a separate nation. Even before that, a Constituent Assembly with 246 members had been formed in India. This assembly reflected the diverse voices of the Indian population. But after the idea of Pakistan gained traction, therefore, the Constituent Assembly functioned in a semi-defective manner at the Indian level. Thus, an incomplete Indian Constitution was created. It is only gratifying that the freedom of speech, expression, and writing, as enshrined in most countries around the world, have also been included in the Indian Constitution.
After a vast territory was split on religious grounds, the political form was given without any thought how a secular nation could include large populations from the same religious background that had demanded the partition. After the partition, India should have been declared a Hindu nation. Everyone knows that caste divisions exist in India. The creation of linguistic states has not resolved the country’s fundamental problems. In fact, language-based state divisions are a major cause of today’s pressing issues in India. Secularism has merely become a slogan of certain political parties and does not reflect the deep-rooted values of 140 crore Indians! Secularism should not be a pseudo-ideology that certain individuals and political parties speak while leaning on the lap of certain religions. It should be spoken without actually being affiliated with any religion. In India, each caste is a national community. So, acknowledging these castes as national communities and declaring India as a Hindu nation is the only path to security for India and its people.”
