The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has once again shown its true face—vulgar, anti-Hindu, and unapologetically divisive. At a public event, DMK Minister K. Ponmudy mocked the sacred tilaks of two major Hindu sects—Shaivism and Vaishnavism—using a filthy anecdote involving a prostitute. This wasn’t satire. It was deliberate humiliation.
DMK’s Hatred for Hinduism: Vulgarity as Ideology, Insult as Policy
This wasn’t a one-off either. From A. Raja to Udhayanidhi Stalin, DMK leaders have made it a habit to spit on Hindu beliefs under the guise of rationalism. Ponmudy’s words—mocking the horizontal Shaivite tilak as a “lying down” whore, and the vertical Vaishnavite mark as a “standing” client—weren’t just derogatory. They were calculated, meant to provoke, meant to humiliate.
Mocking Faith: A DMK Tradition
This is the same party where Udhayanidhi Stalin likened Sanatana Dharma to diseases. Where A. Raja called Hindus the “children of prostitutes.” Where another MP mocked the holy use of cow products, calling Hindi-speaking states “gaumutra lands.” The pattern is undeniable. These aren’t gaffes—they are the ideological expressions of a party born out of Periyar’s hate for Hinduism.
Even today, DMK cadres are encouraged to remove Hindu symbols when attending party events. The message is clear: if you wear Hindu identity with pride, you don’t belong in their politics.
And now, with K. Ponmudy, the party has descended to depths even lower—sexualizing sacred traditions and laughing about it on stage. MK Stalin’s only response? A token removal from a party post, while Ponmudy continues to sit in the Cabinet. If this isn’t endorsement, what is?
If This Were Said About Any Other Religion…
Can one imagine the national outrage if such filth had been directed toward symbols of Islam or Christianity? Would the media remain this silent? Would political commentators excuse it as “cultural commentary”? No. There would be resignations, arrests, and endless coverage. But when it’s Hinduism, the silence is deafening.
This is the very essence of selective secularism that the I.N.D.I. Alliance thrives on—mocking Hindu traditions while pretending to be champions of social justice. They hide behind the fig leaf of reform to launch assault after assault on Hindu identity.
Not a Joke—A Political Agenda of DMK
This isn’t comedy. It’s strategy. The DMK knows that insulting Hinduism excites a certain section of its ideological base. It’s a calculated move—alienate Hindus, appease minorities, and polarize voters. And when caught, they offer sham apologies or hollow “disciplinary actions.”
Udhayanidhi wasn’t punished. A. Raja never apologized. Ponmudy, now, walks the same road.
The Silence Won’t Last Forever
The people of Tamil Nadu are watching. Hindus across the country are taking note. Sanatana Dharma has endured for millennia—it will survive the DMK. But let this be clear: the era of Hindu silence is ending. The next elections will speak for every insult left unanswered.
Respect isn’t a privilege. It’s a right. And if DMK thinks Hindus will continue to accept humiliation after humiliation—they’re in for a rude awakening.
