History[edit]
Adithanar′s Naam Tamilar party[edit]
The Naam Tamilar (We Tamils) party was founded in 1958 by the S. P. Adithanar who is founder of the Tamil newspaper Dina Thanthi. The party’s principal agenda was the founding of a sovereign Tamil Nadu.[4] The party contested in 1962 and 1967 Tamil Nadu legislative assembly elections.[5] In 1967, the party contested under DMK banner and later merged with it.
Naam Tamilar Iyakkam[edit]
After the genocide of the Tamil people in Sri Lanka, Tamil activists in Tamil Nadu were gathered on May 18, 2009 in Madurai to form Naam Tamilar Iyakkam as a political organization. Later it is converted into political party on 18 May 2010 as Naam Tamilar Katchi.[6]
Naam Tamilar party[edit]
During the formation of the party, Seeman said that we are not founding the We Tamils organization or party, we are continuing which S. P. Adithanar founded.[7]
Elections[edit]
2011 Election campaign[edit]
The party campaign against Congress in the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly election, 2011.[8]
Criticism[edit]
Even though the party says that they are not a secessionist or chauvinistic organisation.[9] Others criticized for their ethnocentric stand like Tamils should rule Tamil Nadu because the state was not being ruled by Tamil leaders but only by Dravidian and Indian leaders.[10][11]
