Jeyaraj It was in 1939 that Eevera Periyar organized the Dravida Nadu Conference for the advocacy of a separate, sovereign and federal republic of Dravida Nadu.In a rousing speech on December 17, 1939,Periyar proclaimed "Dravida Nadu for Dravidians". This replaced the earlier slogan "Tamil Nadu for Tamils". July 1940 saw a secession committee being formed at the Dravida Nadu Secession Conference organized by Periyar's disciple CN Annadurai known as Anna (elder brother) at Kanchipuram his hometown. In this conference Periyaar displayed a map of the envisaged Dravida Naadu.It basically corresponded to the existing Madras Presidency. But there were some who spoke of a Greater Dravida Naadu incorporating regions in Burma, Singapore, Malaya and Ceylon where Tamils were concentrated. This was not a serious demand and was made by insignificant personalities. CN Annadurai, M. Karunanidhi and MG Ramachandran]]> http://dbsjeyaraj.com/dbsj/archives/1124/feed 86
