Teasing out a Dravidian discourse
One of the toughest parts of being a discourse analyst in Tamilnadu is to actually ferret and tease out arguments from the Dravidian upper caste side. They have correctly concluded that the key to success is to be deceptive and keep under the radar. Always avoiding a list of demands to be placed on Brahmins and asks on themselves the Non-Brahmins.
I will find time to comment on the similarities between the Dravidian Movement and the Nazi Anti-Semitism. For now I found the following gem from Twitter. This has been my focus for the past several months.
Dr PTR Thiaga Rajan of the DMK made similar defence of the Dravidian “ideology” in an article on TheNewsMinute which I had countered at that time itself. But this one is gold. A classic non-Brahmnin upper caste perhaps a Vellala who is nervous about the world finding out about the elusive ‘ideology’.

These arguments are so uniquely evil and made with such seeming earnestness and virtuous anger. Angry that the Tamizh Brahmins now have the temerity to attempt to defend themselves by merely chronicling and telling the world.
Wordplays that you need to watch out for :
It isn’t as much the question if Tamizh Brahmins are like the European Jews but whether the Dravidian ideology is a mere adaptation of Nazi anti-Semitism. This refers to the ideology, the propaganda techniques, the exclusion principles, the persistent buzz of hate speech, the saturation propaganda, the statements of the very top of the Dravidian leadership, and most importantly the criminal passions cultivated in the Tamilian people by means of this. Speaking about the gas chambers etc is ignorant and made by people who do not understand the holocaust.
It isn’t about TamizhBrahmins , it is about the Dravidians.
The effort that is needed
I am still catching up on the issue. But I’d like to highlight the contribution of this person @ssaikuma

Chronicling is the key. It is tedious, but it is like practice.
Reality Check India 
PTR is as racist and brahmin hater as any Justice or DK/DMK. He manages to hide behind verbal layers of finance, ‘social justice’ etc as he is more “educated” in English. Time to time his mask drops. His latest peeve is Malini from The Hindu whom he attacks without any provocation again and again.. He needs to be put in his place. TN politicians are too indulgent and excuse his insulting and haughtiness which combines feudal vellala landlord haughtiness with all the prejudices of JP+DK+DMK
Uncouth PTR shows it does not improve with more education. Forget about the content – it should be possible for a PhD to find the English words to put his views across in a polite manner. See the difference in tone of Malini and PTR. I am not even politically aligned with Malini but I operate on the same plane of civility.
There is something to be said about this.. isnt there??
His so called ‘trolling’ invited hundreds of Dravidian-Tamil accounts to erupt in Anti-TB trolling. But he didnt cause it directly. They landed on cue. Fascinated by #D.
