In an announcement to the media, he mentioned, “I am saying again that I only criticised Sanatana Dharma and that Sanatana Dharma should be eradicated. I will say this continuously. Few are being childish, saying I was invited for genocide, while others are saying that Dravidam should be abolished. Does that mean DMKians should be killed?”
He added, “When PM Modi says ‘Congress Mukth Bharat’, does that mean congressmen should be killed? What is Sanatana? Sanatana means nothing should be changed, and all are permanent. But the Dravida model calls for change, and all should be equal. BJP is twisting my statement and spreading fake news; it’s their usual job. I am ready to face whatever cases they file against me. BJP is scared of the INDIA Alliance, and to divert that, they are saying all this/DMK’s policy is One clan, one God.”
Udhayanidhi mentioned his celebration’s coverage is “One Clan, One God,” which is actually a proselytisation remark. Udhayanidhi has mentioned previously that he’s a “proud Christian”. Christianity, which is an Abrahamic faith, is strictly in opposition to the Polytheist faith, which is Hinduism. Being in opposition to Polytheist faith, the followers of Abrahamic religions usually try to convert those that comply with Polytheist faith as an try to put an finish to it.
Earlier, Udhayanidhi claimed his assertion was solely in regards to the caste system practised in Sanatan Dharma, which is unfaithful. In November 2012, the Indian Institute of Dalit Studies launched a paper by Sobin George titled ‘Dalit Christians in India: Discrimination, Development Deficit and the Question for Group-Specific Policies’ [PDF]. The paper cited two different papers to focus on how Christian Reddys in Andhra Pradesh and Christian Nadars in Tamil Nadu favor to marry Hindus of their very own caste slightly than Dalit Christians. Furthermore, Syrian Christians in Kerala don’t marry Dalit Christians. The intermarriage between Bamons and Sudras in Goa can also be unusual.

There have been quite a few calls by Dalits who transformed to Christianity to provide them advantages alongside the traces of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes of Hinduism. The so-called principal purpose to transform to Christianity is to get “rid of the caste baggage,” however going by the proof, the “caste” hardly goes away after conversion.
Interestingly, in February 2023, in Tamil Nadu’s Trichy, a bit of “Dalit” Christians in a village close to Thiruvenrumbur alleged they confronted caste discrimination at a neighborhood St Mary Magdalene Church. They have been allegedly not allowed to attend the annual competition, and the church administration didn’t enable them to make use of the widespread neighborhood corridor for holding occasions, together with weddings.
The state of affairs is identical in Punjab, which is likely one of the main hubs of conversions. Converted Dalit Christians in Punjab usually face an identification disaster as they proceed to avail themselves of the advantages of assorted schemes for Dalits.
Besides the notions that Christianity and Islam are non-discriminatory and egalitarian in nature, the actual fact that he reduces Sanatan Dharma to merely caste discrimination itself reveals the contempt that Stalin harbours for Hinduism. Essentially, it’s evident that the remark by Stalin shouldn’t be one that’s aimed to combat in opposition to caste discrimination, to treatment which, a number of affirmative legislations have been applied by Bharat, however one which goals to eradicate the age-old faith itself and with it, those that practise the faith – Hindus.
Udhayanidhi needs to ‘eradicate’ Sanatan Dharma
On 2nd September, the Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development of Tamil Nadu, Udhayanidhi Stalin, went on a tirade in opposition to Sanatan Dharma on social media.
The growth got here hours after he courted controversy for evaluating the Hindu civilisational, non secular philosophy with ‘malaria’ and ‘dengue.’ While speaking to X (previously Twitter), Udhayanidhi Stalin wrote, “Sanatan Dharma is a principle that divides people in the name of caste and religion.”
“Uprooting Sanatan Dharma is upholding humanity and human equality…I spoke on behalf of the oppressed & marginalised who suffer from the Sanatan Dharma. I spoke on behalf of the oppressed & marginalised, who suffer due to the Sanatan Dharma,” he mentioned.
The son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin hailed the likes of Periyar and BR Ambedkar. He claimed that the duo performed ‘in-depth research’ on the ‘negative impact’ of the non secular philosophy on society.
“Let me reiterate the crucial aspect of my speech: I believe, like the spread of diseases like COVID-19, Dengue, and Malaria by mosquitoes, that Sanatan Dharma is responsible for many social evils,” he additional emphasised.
