Dravidianists Attack Maestro Ilaiyaraaja For Praising PM Modi And Ram Mandir Inauguration

The Dravidianists have launched a fresh attack on ‘Maestro’ Ilaiyaraaja following his speech on PM Modi and Ram Mandir consecration in Chennai. The vile attacks range from calling him ‘senile’, abusing his caste, and criticising his nominated MP post as a ‘favour’ from the BJP.

Alleged journalist Aravindakshan posted a wall of text criticising his speech as ‘blabbering’ and that he was ignorant of what was happening in the country. He also said that Ilaiyaraaja lies fallen at the feet of the BJP.

C. Rajashekaran, whose bio says he is a practicing lawyer in the Indian courts and is a vocal supporter of the ruling DMK, spread fake news that Ilaiyaraaja was banned entry into the Ram Mandir. He wrote, ‘Music has no religion, no caste & no bias’ with a thinly veiled reference to the maestro’s caste. He further added, ‘these opportunistic people will never learn lessons in spite of being insulted & humiliated forever’.

Director C Sebastian Amudhan, who directed election propaganda films for the DMK, said in a post that he could ‘understand & forgive his senility’. He also adds, ‘He was created in the crucible of Dravidian & communist thought’ and declares, ‘he will come home when the time demands.’

Alleged journalist Damodaran Prakash of Nakkheeran attacked Ilaiyaraaja based on his caste, saying, ‘When everyone gets fame, he wants to be a Brahmin. He acts like them. No matter whether he sings the praises of Sri Rama or praises the BJP, only religion can change in India. Caste does not change. That is Sanatana.’

Apart from these, the Dravidianist trolls attacked Ilaiyaraaja with their choicest words and abused him for praising Modi and Lord Rama; below are a few of those reactions.

It is unfortunate that the Dravidian parties, especially the DMK, who speak volumes on freedom of speech, unleash venomous attacks on a great personality such as Ilaiyaraaja since he spoke his heart out. But, the attacks on the music maestro are not new. He had been previously abused by alleged music director James Vasanthan, former TN Congress leader EVKS Elangovan, and many others when he praised PM Modi for his development initiatives.
