DC Edit | Stalin's son is guilty of practising poor politics

Deccan Chronicle  

Udhayanidhi, son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and sports minister in his Cabinet, dropped an incendiary comment on the eradication of ‘Sanatana Dharma’ that sent Indian politics into a tizzy over the weekend. Fundamentally, the term ‘Sanatana Dharma’ means an “eternal way of life” and is commonly thought to enjoin certain religious and temporal duties as a believer though those who promote it assiduously today may be doing so to also serve their stated aims like Hindutva. Additionally, an argument taken up by those stung by his remarks is that any eradication of ‘Sanatana Dharma’ must, like charity, begin at home as there are persons who are very close kin of the speaker who follow religious and spiritual practices and perform rituals on temple visits virtually every day. The relative greenhorn descendant of a Dravidian major that decisively knocked out the Congress in Tamil Nadu 66 years ago may have embarrassed most the DMK’s staunch ally in the current political arena, the same Congress which, as a party, does not overtly oppose any religion, least of all that of the majority.
