Ma. Subramanian, serving as the Health Minister in the DMK Government in Tamil Nadu, felicitated ‘Minor’ Vijay of ‘U2 Brutus’ YouTube channel who had recently derogated Lord Siva and Goddess Kaali in a video.
The DMK Minister was participating in a function organized by Dravida Kazhagam, in which YouTubers ideologically and politically inclined to the DK and DMK were felicitated. Dravida Kazhagam leaders Suba Veerapandian and Arulmozhi were also present.
Six YouTube channels including U2 Brutus were felicitated and given an idol of E.V. Ramaswamy Naicker (knonwn as Periyar by his followers) by Health Minister Ma. Subramanian.
Minor of U2 Brutus was given the award for thrashing ‘Sanghis’ online (a term referring to a devout Hindu, a subscriber of Hindutva ideology, or BJP supporter).
Clear evidence of DMK being Nefariously Anti -Hindu.

U2 Brutus is a YouTube channel run by a person who identifies himself as ‘Minor’, a follower of E.V. Ramaswamy Naicker (known as Periyar by his followers).
The channel is known for supporting the DMK and its allied outfits like Dravida Kazhagam, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, etc.
On April 26, the channel released a video titled “This is the reason why Nataraja stands with his leg lifted“, in which ‘Minor’ resorts to slandering Hindu God Siva and Goddess Kaali.
In the video, Minor says “This guy Paramasivan.. what he did was.. Only on going further we come to know the nefarious activities of his.. He keeps lifting his leg up and up and finally lifted it fully and straight… If you think stretching the leg was a good movement… I too thought so on reading about it but that is where the trick was.. The thing is ‘Thalaivan’ (referring to Lord Siva) did not wear underwear that day. Don’t laugh.. Seriously, that is what is written.. Thalaivan had gone without wearing underwear voluntarily. What will happen if someone lifts the leg up? ‘It’ (referring to penis) will fall out right? I’m not joking. That is how it is written. Once you lift your leg, it will be visible right? On seeing that the people were shocked. Thillai Kaali who was dancing got shocked after seeing it. How can she dance after that? After seeing it, she didn’t know what to do and forgot all her dance movements.”
He also says that Lord Siva cheated and won against Thillai Kaali just like how Tamil cinema heroes win against female leads by undressing their tops.
He also gives his own interpretation to Chidambara Ragasiyam saying “So, not wearing under and standing with the leg up showing the penis is Chidambara Ragasiyam is it?”
It is pertinent to mention that ‘Minor’ of U2 Brutus along with several other YouTubers who are vocal supporters of the DMK met CM Stalin in October 2021.
U2 Brutus has put several videos slandering Hindus and the Hindu faith. Earlier in November 2021, he released a video titled “Pornography in Vedas” in which ‘Minor’ and an alleged Saivite scholar named Prakash derogate the Vedas, the holy scripture of the Hindus.
BJP Tamil Nadu President K. Annamalai has issued a statement demanding the arrest of the rabid YouTuber.
In his statement Annamalai said “Some people consider insulting and slandering religious beliefs of the people to be the ‘Dravidian Model’. Is the state government deliberately allowing such people to upload videos that insult Tamil culture and traditions for publicity, sensationalism and “to fill their stomach”.?
Mr. Annamalai also in a tweet said “Impish attempts deliberately to insult people’s faith by slandering religious texts & venerated God. This is perpetrated by a group which claims immunity from the ruling party. Why is the government turning a blind eye to such slanders?”
The Indu Makkal Katchi has also filed several complaints demanding the arrest of the YouTuber and shutting down the vile channel.
