The Memory Of When I WasNot A Hindu

He, however, did weave in a safety clause: "I prefer to see the term as meaning someone who steals the heart." The likes of the BJP and the Kanchi Shankaracharya were expected to react harshly, but even the Congress, which seemed to be moving closer to the DMK, could not countenance this interpretation.

The DMK is clearly drifting away from the BJP. For over a month, the former’s mouthpiece, Murasoli, has been carrying a frontal attack on Hindutva and has even been running a column of Periyar’s writings. In September, Karunanidhi had attacked the prioritisation of Sanskrit in temples and the hype over Ganesh Chaturthi. The anti-conversion ordinance seems to have only made Karunanidhi keen on quitting Hindutva and reconverting to the Dravidian/secular camp, though he does not seem to have stolen many hearts.
