| abstract | - The formation of a Dravidian state was a concept that had been long desired by the majority of the Dravidian populace since the formation of India in 1947. The Dravidian political party, Dravidar Kazhagam, had long been a supporter of formation of the state known as Dravida Nadu, which would include the southeastern Dravida. Before this had been suggested, during the time of the British Raj, a large number of influential Dravidian politicans wanted total independence from any nation, and wished only to form a state in which the Dravidian majority in southern India was in charge. Also, they wanted to dismantle the influence of the Brahmins which governed the day-to-day lives of the populace, as well as the over-burdensome caste system that divided the population and destroyed the potential effectiveness of forming a stable government in which corruption would undoubtly bring ruin. However, most of these issues were address when India was formed, but not the issue of a Dravidian nation. Throughout the 1960s and 70s, Dravidar Kazhagam and other political parties pushed for the formation of Dravida Nadu, but their requests and later demands went unanswered. By the time the 1980s came around, their cries for a seperate nation all but disappeared. Dravidar Kazhagam moved on to focus its efforts into resolving the poor living conditions of the Dravidian people, and eridicating diesases that while stopped in other parts of the world, still ravaged Dravida. The appearent disconcern of the Indian government in the north did not help matters, and around the turn of the century, ideas of forming a new nation began to return to the masses. The ideals of Dravidar Kazhagam, while the party itself had long split up into seperate politicals groups, still held a tight grip on actions of its successors.
