The Devar Jayanti festival has gained significant prominence in the historical narrative of Tamil Nadu. Both the AIADMK, under the leadership of Edappadi Palanichami, and the DMK, are attaching great importance to this festival as they seek to regain lost support in South Tamil Nadu.
Notably, the BJP is also actively participating in these festivities. However, the involvement of the BJP in the Devar Jayanti festival has sparked controversy, with some arguing that historical figures like Subhash Chandra Bose and Muthuramalinga Devar fought against British colonialism, while the BJP, associated with the Sangh Parivar group, had collaborated with the British.
In response to these tensions, anti-BJP posters have appeared in the region, questioning the party’s eligibility to partake in the celebration of Devar Jayanti. In an exclusive interview, seasoned journalist Darasu Sham delves into the intricate political dynamics surrounding this festival, exploring the various political implications and questions that may arise.
Furthermore, the interview features insights from Pasumbon, shedding light on Muthuramalinga Devar’s historical significance and his role in shaping pivotal events, as well as the broader political context in which he operated.
