The Hindu·2h ago·Neutral
What Happened
K. S. Pandiarajan, a Madurai lawyer from Mukkani Brahmin community, transitioned from ultra-left CPI(ML) activism in the 1980s to advocating for Tamil Brahmins. He abandoned his radical political role after reportedly being denied leadership positions due to his Brahmin background. Educated at government institutions, Pandiarajan developed deep Tamil language passion during his activist years before shifting ideological focus.
