A recent snippet of an interview of Dr. K Kantharaj, a doctor with a Dravidian ideology, has been shared on Twitter. In the interview, the doctor, a teacher of Medical students, says that Brahmins are not meant to ‘study’ and should just stick to being a priest or chanting the Vedas.
While speaking about ex-MLA H Raja, a Tamil Brahmin, Dr. Kantharaj asks, “Why does he go near Universities? He is after all a Tamil Brahmin who eats by seeking alms. He’s a Brahmin who has to go from one house to another, seek alms by saying ‘Bhavathi Biksham Dehi’ and attend to Poojas in the temple. What relation does he have with education or Universities?”
He then goes on to narrate what a Brahmin should actually do, and says, “He’s only supposed to sell janeu threads (Sacred thread) or collect cow dung to be splashed in the front of the house during the Margazhi month. That is his occupation. He should not have gone near Universities with the Hindutva ideology. He should have only gone to Cremation grounds and put ‘Pinda’ (rice cakes).”
He also says that the Stalin-led DMK government in Tamil Nadu is indeed a rule of/for Christians. “Yes, this is a government for Christians. It is not necessary for us to rule for Hindus. Stalin itself is a Christian name.”, he says in the video.
Calling Brahmins derogatarily as “Paapara Paya”, he goes on to say “Who are you? You are an Aryan. An immigrant. What is the connection between you and this country? You were rearing cows for a living in Central Asia. How did you come here? You and your religion do not belong here. It is there in history. You came into this country riding cows. You are today claiming this to be your country?”.
“You better go to your own country. Go there. There only you (Tamil Brahmins) were thrashed by Chengiz Khan and Taimur. You came here whimpering.”, he says.
He also goes on to derogate Hindu Gods like Lord Ram and Lord Krishna and makes scandalous remarks on April 1 being marked as Tamil New Year.
“The 60 years have been named after children born out of homosexual relationship between Naradar and Vishnu”, the Dravidianist doctor says.
“If you celebrate April 1 as Tamil New Year, you are celebrating homosexual new year not Tamil New Year.”, he says.
This kind of an hatred ideology towards Hindus particularly against the Tamil Brahmins have been on the rise ever since the DMK government came to power in Tamil Nadu.
Not just anyone : Dr K Kantharaj is a medical doctor , teacher of medical students, from political family, and from an elite #Dravidian nonbrahmin caste.
