"North Indians Tell Women To Stay In Kitchen And Give Birth To Children": DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran Says

DMK MP has once again stirred controversy by letting his tongue loose, this time again on North Indians.

Maran, a four-time Member of Parliament representing the Chennai Central constituency, made the comments while addressing students at the Quaid-e-Millath Government College for Women.

According to media reports, Maran said that while women in Tamil Nadu are encouraged to pursue education and careers, women in North India are told to remain confined to domestic roles. During his address, he stated, “This is a Dravidian Model government. Periyar was the one who formulated these Dravidian Model ideas. As early as the 1920s he said: If there are three children in your house, two boys and one girl, educate the girl first; the boys can study later. If a woman is educated, not just that family but the whole country will progress. On that foundation, under our Chief Minister Thiru MK Stalin, this government functions as a Dravidian Model government – because it is for everyone, for all. Particularly, look at the laptop scheme created by our Deputy Chief Minister. Especially for our girls and boys – ‘our children must be stylish and confident, da; they must go for an interview with a laptop in hand or do their post‑graduation with that swagger’ – that pride is here in Tamil Nadu. This is how, in Tamil Nadu, we are educating you. In North India what do they say? ‘Women, you don’t go to work, you stay at home, you stay in the kitchen; that is your work in this world.’ No. This is Tamil Nadu. This is Tamil Nadu, this is Dravidian land – the soil discovered by Kalaignar, by Anna, by Muthuvel Karunanidhi Stalin. In this soil, your progress is Tamil Nadu’s progress. That is why today the world’s biggest factories – where do they come? They come to Chennai. Why do they come? Because every educated person here – not just educated in Tamil, but also in English – is highly capable.”

Hindi Speakers Do Menial Jobs Said DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran

Dayanidhi Maran, DMK MP, stated at a public meeting in 2023 that people who learned Hindi work as construction workers and wash toilets in Tamil Nadu, whereas Tamilians hold high-level positions in the IT sector.

He said, “We asked you to study Tamil and English. you studied. Look at Sundar Pichai, he is now the CEO of Google. He would have been a construction worker if he had studied Hindi. Our children hold high-level positions in IT firms and earn a good living. Look at those who studied Hindi. They work as construction workers and clean toilets.”

North Indians Are Fools

This other time, while speaking at a public meeting he had called north Indians and Hindi speaking people as ‘idiots’ who will vote for BJP.

Maran’s comments sparked widespread condemnation, including from Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, who criticized the disparaging remarks and stressed the importance of respecting people from different parts of the country. Former Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad also challenged Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over Maran’s statement, calling for an end to disrespect towards Bihar’s people.
