| Summary / Abstract (Note) | On 3rd September 2023, speaking at a conference on ‘Eradicating Sanatana Dharma From the Society’, in Tamil Nadu, Udhayanidhi Stalin, the Grandson of Tamil Nadu’s longest serving Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi and Son of present day Chief Minister of the state M.K. Stalin, triggered a new political storm with his remarks on Sanatana Dharma. Saying, “The conference’s title is apt. I appreciate them for calling for the eradication of Sanatana and not merely opposing it. For instance, mosquitoes, Dengue, Malaria, and Corona, we should eradicate these, and not just oppose. Likewise, Sanatana should also be eradicated from the society. It is not enough if we merely oppose it.”, the third generation DMK scion sparked a new controversy. The statement by Udhayanidhi Stalin, started a new debate around the Sanatana Dharma and its linkage with the Bhartiya Civilisation. |
