Tamil Nadu Elections LIVE Debate: S Gurumurthy Exclusive with Rajdeep Sardesai in Tamil Nadu
n a sharp exchange at the India Today Roundtable, Tamil Nadu, in Chennai, S Gurumurthy, the editor of Tughlaq and prominent ideologue, argued that the Dravidian movement has lost its ideological core. He claimed that ‘Dravidianism is Karunanidhi family plus anti-Brahminism’ and asserted that the ‘soul of Tamil Nadu is fundamentally Hindu.’ Gurumurthy analyzed the shifting political landscape, noting that the BJP’s rise from 4% to 12% vote share in 2024 indicates a ‘melting’ of traditional Dravidian strongholds. He also commented on actor Vijay’s political entry, describing a ‘friendless Vijay’ as having no significant force without alliances. Gurumurthy defended Hindutva as the ‘ethos and culture of India,’ citing Supreme Court judgments to argue its inclusivity. He further critiqued the current state of secularism, suggesting it has ceased to be truly secular, and discussed the historical de-ideologization of Tamil Nadu politics since the era of MGR and Karunanidhi.
