When Dr.Subramanian Swamy wrote an
article in The Frontline dated July
18-2003 to blast the Dravidian Movement, only two leaders from Dravidian
movement wrote a rejoinder, one being then General Secretary of Dravida Kazhagam
K.Veeramani and N.Nandhivarman General Secretary of Dravida Peravai.
Let me quote few paragraphs from what I wrote
“All humans are one and scientific
studies have revealed that there exists a common gene in all human beings and
that common gene is called sangene. The mapping of human genes for 50 years had
thrown more light on the oneness of humanity, as theories of continental drift,
especially the map fit theory, had proved beyond an iota of doubt that all
continents were held together once and drifted. So to make all brains free from
superiority complex and accept that humanity is one and the world is one,
science had to unearth mysteries. The common gene in every human being had also
proven that the theories of race are culture oriented. While race is disproved
both Aryan and Dravidian theories have to die. Perhaps Dr.Swamy wants the Aryan
concept too to die and if that were the case, one can welcome to some extent
his wishful thinking. The Second World War waged by Hitler propounding the
supremacy of the Aryan race, which he demonstrated with the killings of
millions of Jews, still reminds us that whoever claims superiority over fellow
beings in the name of his race of birth will be taught a befitting lesson by
mankind.”
