Part-Time Politician Actor Vijay Gifts Bihari Brahmin Prashant Kishor Pandey A Statue Of Rabid Anti-Hindu, Anti-Brahmin, Anti-Hindi, Anti-Indian EVR That Could Spell Disaster For PK’s Political Ambitions

Actor and part-time politician and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay marked his party’s first anniversary with a grand public meeting in Mahabalipuram, setting the stage for an intense political battle ahead of Tamil Nadu’s 2026 elections.

Sharing the stage with election strategist Prashant Kishor, the event hinted at a strategic shift in TVK’s approach as it prepares to challenge the state’s dominant Dravidian parties.

Kishor’s presence at the event highlights a calculated electoral game plan. Renowned for orchestrating successful campaigns across India, he is believed to be shaping TVK’s strategy, signaling a more structured and data-driven political push.

But what is perplexing is that a Bihari Prashant Kishor and a Brahmin at that, was gifted a bust of the rabid anti-Hindu, anti-Brahmin, anti-Hindi, anti-Indian EVR by Vijay at the event.

Prashant Kishor, a Brahmin by birth, cannot erase his background. Accepting the anti-Brahmin EVR’s bust as a gift on the stage can spell disaster for his political career, especially for his Jan Suraaj Party. It is noteworthy that the Dravidianists who consider EVR to be their ideological father have been caught peddling anti-Hindi propaganda especially demeaning Biharis. EVR was also against Hindi. EVR associated Hindi with Brahminism, asserting that the language was a tool for propagating the Brahminical religion, Hinduism. He also criticized Gandhi, who played a key role in promoting Hindi as a common language

Followers of EVR have addressed all guest workers/migrant workers from Bihar with slurs like “panipuriwala” or “panparagvayan” or “vadakkan“.

EVR And His Brahmin Hate

To jog Prashant Kishor’s memory, here is what EVR (hailed as Periyar by his followers) had to say about Brahmins.

Below are several instances where he openly expressed his animosity towards Brahmins.

Let’s begin with Suba Veerapandian, a prominent advocate of EVR’s ideology, who addressed the audience (specific event name not clear). He elaborated on the reasons behind advocating for the annihilation of Brahmins, “After Anna (Annadurai) parted with Periyar, he began saying, “We are not against Brahmins, but Brahminism” stating this when we inquired if Ayya (EVR) agreed with this statement, EVR responded “it’s right sir, It’s right. I’m also not against the mosquito, Sir. I’m only against the mosquito bite, but how can you get rid of mosquito bite without killing the the mosquito? The reason why I oppose Brahmins is, Brahminism coming from them only, no? Nowadays, many people say things without understanding. You always talk about their Brahminism, but never talk about other castes, Yes, I am not denying that. There is Brahminism alive in other castes too. But what we have to see is, what is the source of both Brahmanism? The Brahmin is the source of both Brahminism, who benefits from both Brahmanism? This comes from ignorance, that Brahminism comes from the arrogance . We should not see both of these as same, but we have to oppose both. I’m not saying both Brahmins should not be opposed, both should be opposed, but both should not be seen as equal.”  

In another instance, Viduthalai magazine published an article regarding a speech delivered by EV Ramasamy Naicker (EVR) on 31 August 1959, in Chidambaram. In this speech, EVR espoused sentiments of hatred, advocating for the removal of Brahmins from society. EVR said, “Do you hate Brahmins? Or Brahminism? Or what is Brahminism? What is the answer to the question? Brahminism came from Brahmins themselves, right? Therefore, I say that the Brahmins should be eradicated. It is because one is a thief, one indulges in thievery. When someone says he hates thievery, it means he hates the thief, too, doesn’t it? Thus, Brahminism grew out of the Brahmins and I am striving to annihilate the root.”

The book “Periyar Thought Collection Part 1” records a speech by EVR where he advocated for the killing of Brahmin men and women if the Rajaji government failed to withdraw the Madras scheme of elementary education (Kulakalvi Thittam) in 1953.

EVR says, “If Kulakalvi scheme is not withdrawn in a month, I asked (people) to stab every and any paapaan and [aapaathi (Tambram man and woman). Buy petrol and matchsticks and set fire to all Agraharams. In our protest, if we shoot 10, 20 people and are hung for it, what’s wrong with it?”

That’s why we took this effort. It materialized somewhat. All Tamil Brahmins got afraid and complained to Rajaji that ‘Because of your bad decision, all our Agraharams are in danger. We are afraid to go for our jobs alone. Our women are scared to walk the streets alone’ Which is why Rajaji resigned in 1954 (as CM) and ran away.

In another incident, EVR made a direct comparison between Brahmins and Jews, suggesting that Brahmins should be forcibly removed from India. This statement was made in 1938, coinciding with the rise of persecution against Jews in Germany. It is evident that EVR’s intention behind this comparison was to incite prejudice and discrimination against Brahmins. Additionally, he expressed the belief that in order to eliminate caste in India, it was necessary to eradicate God, religion, scriptures, and Brahmins. This rhetoric raises concerns about the promotion of genocide-like sentiments. He states, “The people in India are in a situation where they have to expel the Aryans, just like they expel them saying that they have no right to be in Germany. It is worth noting that the reasons given by the Germans for expelling the Jews fit the Indians for expelling the Aryans.”

In a separate address by EVR in Virudhunagar in 1944, he offered guidance to students, proposing that just as the Germans persecuted Jews and rose to power, why shouldn’t we do the same to Aryans?

He stated, “The Germans asked, why should Jews remain in our land? Why should the Jew exploit our country? What business does an alien have in our land? Why should a outsider oppress us? With such passion, they got excited and protested. Because of that Germany today is a super power and other countries are afraid of it. Why should we also not be like that (Germany)? We should think like this.” 

In another instance, during his speech in Karaikudi, EVR openly encouraged non-Brahmins to kill Brahmins. EVR said, “They are celebrating festival it seems , he is celebrating Soora Samhaaram, what is it? He (Soorapadman the demon) was someone who said there is no god, they killed him, therefore now we can kill those buggers… that won’t be wrong (if we kill them) may be legally it will be wrong, that legal offence and all are bullshit we cant be bothered that it is legally wrong. We have to come to the conclusion, wherever we see a temple we must go inside and break all the idols inside, wherever we find Paapan (Brahmins) we must kill and destroy him. He has done like this to us, after all he (Tamil Brahmin) has done things like this only to come to this position. We must also do to the him, whatever he has done, what, a few of us have to die, if one Tamil dies for one paapan, means only three of us will die out of every hundreds, balance 94% will still remain.”  

So, no matter how much a Bihari Brahmin Prashant Kishor try to pretend to accept EVR as a social reformer, the fact that he instigated violence and annihilation of the Brahmin community is undisputable and Prashant Kishore can never be accepted here in TN for his background. It will only spell doom for his political ambitions, it would be better for PK to rethink his political alignments and strategies if he is in for the long run.

EVR’s Anti-Hindu Hate

In 1953, Periyar organized agitation for the desecration of Ganesha idols. He had elaborated extensively on the motivations behind the breaking of the idols. He had said in a speech in 1953, “We have to eradicate the gods who are responsible for the institution which portrays us as sudras, people of low birth, and some others as Brahmins of high birth. While the former go on toiling, without any education, whereas the latter can remain without exerting themselves. We have to break the idols of these gods. I start with Ganesa because it is he who is worshipped before undertaking any task.”

EVR also claimed that no North Indian Brahmin ever died in the war against Ravana. He had also claimed that Rama had married other women apart from Sita for his sexual pleasure. He had also claimed that Ravana was, in fact, a Dravidian King from South India. None of EVR’s claims about the Ramayana has an ounce of truth to them, of course, but he made them anyway. The origins of most of these claims lie not in the Ramayana but in the virulent hatred that he harboured towards North Indians and Brahmins.

EVR Was Against India

E.V. Ramasamy Naicker is a rabid anti-Hindu bigot known for his pro-British stance when the Indian Freedom Struggle was its peak. He pleaded with the British to not leave India and pledged allegiance to them asking the Madras Presidency to be ruled from London. He even went to the extent of demanding a separate Dravida Naadu and had met Mohammad Ali Jinnah regarding the same.

PK’s Political Suicide

It is the statue of this anti-Hindu, Brahmin genocide-mongering, anti-Indian racist demagogue that Prashant Kishor received as a gift from Vijay.

While Prashant Kishor might try to win hearts in Tamil Nadu with his punchy dialogues and do lip service that he supports TVK’s fight against corruption, communalism, and dynasty politics, he is still a Bihari Brahmin at the end of the day for Dravidianists. He can joke all he wants about competing with Dhoni’s popularity and learning to speak Tamil in 2026 or call Vijay as a symbol of hope and all that jazz, but he will be treated with the same hate that is meted out to the 3% Brahmins in the state and the “vadakkans” living in TN who only can do construction labour (allegedly) according to the DMK MP Raja because they know Hindi. 

Receiving EVR’s statue is nothing but a political suicide for him in his home state of Bihar.
