DMK Lackey Who Calls Himself Journo Peddles False Propaganda About Centre Giving More Money To Sanskrit Than Other Languages

Unlike Sanskrit, regional language institutions are usually established and run by state governments, with central support extended through bodies like the Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL) and the Central Institute of Classical Tamil (CICT) in Chennai. Funding discrepancies are not a new phenomenon. Under the UPA, similar patterns existed: for instance, in 2009–10, Sanskrit received ₹120.58 crore while Tamil received ₹9.75 crore. In 2011–12, Sanskrit was allocated ₹134.58 crore versus ₹9.36 crore for Tamil, yet the DMK, with six ministers in the cabinet, did not protest the imbalance.

The Tamil University in Thanjavur remains the only dedicated classical Tamil institution in the state and was founded by M.G. Ramachandran, not the DMK. Despite this, Dravidian parties continue to demand increased central funding without initiating substantial academic infrastructure or programs themselves.

While accusations of central bias persist, the data suggests long-standing structural factors, not a targeted exclusion. Unless similar universities for classical Tamil and other languages are centrally established, the Sanskrit funding gap will remain. Critics argue that political rhetoric has overshadowed practical efforts to strengthen Tamil as an academic and economic asset.

Dravidianist Journo Peddles Same Propaganda

Amid this, Dravidianist and DMK supporting ‘journalist’ known for peddling their propaganda and lies also amplified this report. On his X handle, he wrote, “Centre spent ₹2532.59 crore on the promotion of Sanskrit between 2014-15 and 2024-25, 17 times the combined spending of ₹147.56 crore on the other five classical Indian languages –– Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Odia.” and shared the article link.

Arvind Gunasekar – The Dravidianist Buttresser

Apart from peddling Pakistani propaganda during Operation Sindoor, he has always buttressed the DMK and amplified all types of fake news if it matters even a little bit to the ruling DMK. Here are a few instances where he did the same.

Twisted Facts To Defend DMK Govt Not Following SOP Of National Anthem

In the wake of Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi’s walkout from the Assembly over the omission of the National Anthem at the session’s start on 6 January 2025, journalist Arvind Gunasekar drew criticism for defending the state government’s stance. Gunasekar argued that the Assembly followed tradition by playing the state song, Tamil Thai Vaazhthu, first and the National Anthem at the end. However, Gunasekar was actually feigning ignorance to constitutional protocol, which mandates playing the National Anthem at both the beginning and end of the Governor’s address. The Governor’s office condemned the omission as disrespectful to national symbols. Gunasekar’s claims, including that the Speaker is the sole authority in the Assembly and that the Governor sought to boycott the session, were constitutionally incorrect and misleading.

Buttressed VCK MP Thirumavalavan Over His Rubbing Off Vibhuti From Forehead

A few days ago, a video of VCK leader Thol. Thirumavalavan wiping off vibhuti from his forehead in front of a camera, moments before posing for a selfie, sparked controversy online, with critics accusing him of calculated religious posturing to appease minority sentiments. Although he had accepted vibhuti and a garland during a temple visit, his deliberate removal of the ash drew sharp criticism, especially after photos emerged showing him at a dargah wearing a skullcap. Arvind Gunasekar defended Thirumavalavan, dismissing the backlash with a sarcastic remark: “So, one can’t wipe their own face in ‘New India’?” This response drew further criticism for his hypocrisy, with detractors accusing Gunasekar of acting as a spokesperson for the DMK-Congress-Left ecosystem while selectively targeting the BJP.
