Dravidian politics and its ideology have been a staple of the Tamil Nadu politics for decades, but leaders opposing the DMK party are trying to destroy that, according to VP Sanaimuthu, known as Thirumavalavan, who is also the leader of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) party. During the launch of the publication, 'Caste Pride,' translated into Tamil as 'Saathip Perumai' by R. Vijayasankar, Thirumavalavan stated that national perspective is needed for Dravidian politics.

He also highlighted that the book's subject, Manoj Mitta, a well-known independent journalist and author, shows the uniqueness of the Dravidian movement and how it affects India as a whole. Thirumavalavan emphasized the importance of such books in Tamil, as it provides a chance to learn about the larger world beyond Tamil Nadu and how caste-based politics is not just a provincial issue, but a national one.

He concluded by stating that the Dravidian movement, with its anti-caste ideology, has been the bedrock of progress in Tamil Nadu. Any attempt by the opposition to undermine it will lead to disaster, both for the people and the country.
