Dravida Peravai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Dravida Peravai' (Dravidian Front), is a political party in Pondicherry, India. The DP was formed in 1996 by a break-away faction of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam. The Party claims to be a "Green" party. The present Party General Secretary is N. Nandhivarman. The DP strives to unite Tamils and impart a scientific outlook for the enrichment of Tamil culture. Despite claiming to be "Green" the Party has fought for national projects like the Indian Rivers Inter-link, the Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project and the Tenth Degree Canal, an Indo-Thailand joint venture. The DP is concerned about future continental and coastal changes affecting Tamil Nadu and Tamils.
The Dravida Peravai supports what they refer to as the "Tamil struggle" in Sri Lanka.
The Party sees the former Minister of Defence George Fernandes as the "International Torch-bearer of Socialism"
