Women's role not at the end of one's tether

Deccan Chronicle  

Chennai: Five years have rolled by rather swiftly, and Tamil Nadu is yet again facing a general election to its 234-member State Assembly, along with neighbouring Puducherry, on May 16, with 71 days to go to be precise from Sunday. For the erstwhile Madras Presidency, which with pride saw India’s first woman medical graduate, the indomitable Dr Muthulakshmi Reddy, who rose from very humble beginnings in erstwhile princely state of Pudukkottai, to be also the first woman member of any Legislative Council in the country in 1927, to several brave women who were in the thick of the freedom struggle like an Ammu Swaminathan, Rukmini Lakshmipathy, to even the distant shores of South Africa where Thillaiyadi Valliyammai joined Mahatma Gandhi’s anti-apartheid struggle, that over century-long legacy is still glowing. Since then women’s intra-party roles have been influential, from the DMK patriarch’s wives, Mrs Dayalu Ammal and Rajathi Ammal, to his daughter, Ms Kanimozhi, a Rajya Sabha MP, not to leave aside people from outside the DMK’s first family like Dr Kanchana Kamalanathan, Subbulakshmi Jegadeesan, Dr Poongothai Aladi Aruna, poet Salma and Tamizhachi Thangapandian. Backed by equally vocal women functionaries like the State vice-president Vanathi Srinivasan, the BJP knows its electoral constituency well — the growing urban middle class in Tamil Nadu. In such an evolving political milieu, it seems somewhat like an odd ball that both an aspiring party like the PMK, which has projected Dr Anbumani Ramadoss as its Chief Ministerial Candidate, and the combination of parties that now form the ‘People’s Welfare Alliance’ — comprising the MDMK, Left parties and the Dalit outfit Viduthalai Chiruthaikal Katchi, — have so far held campaigns sans a woman campaigner.
