‘Sanatana Dharma’ row: Tamil Nadu minister’s statements were divisive, says HC

Hindustan Times  

Madras high court justice Anitha Sumanth who on Wednesday refrained from issuing a writ of quo warranto against Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin for his “Sanatana Dharma” released a detailed 107-page order on Thursday. Last September, Udhayanidhi, who is also the son of chief minister MK Stalin, in a public speech said that “Sanatana Dharma” must be eradicated like mosquito diseases. “However, the origins of the caste system as we know it today are less than a century old.” The justice said that caste divisions are deeply entrenched in Tamil Nadu which has 370 registered castes and the “State is a cacophony of pulls and pressures by groups of persons claiming allegiance to one caste or the other,” the justice said in her order. “The individual respondents have undoubtedly acted contrary to Constitutional principles and ideals and their statements amount to disinformation and hate against members of a specific community,” the justice said.
