I am myself a believer in Animas (non-violence). But I make a distinction between Animas and meekness. Meekness is weakness and weakness is voluntarily imposed upon oneself is not a virtue. I am believer in Animas but in the sense defined by the saint Takuma. Takuma has quite rightly said that Animas consisted of two things: (1) love and kindness towards all creatures and (2) destruction of evil doers. The second part of this definition is often lost sight of that the doctrine of Animas becomes so ridiculous. Babasaheb Dr.B.R.Ambedkar
The Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) on Sunday demanded that the country be made a confederation of States.
A resolution adopted in the Tamil Sovereign conference here stated that every State should be given autonomy.
Contending that India was an administrative structure created by the British for their exploitation, the resolution said several rights, including linguistic rights and the right to sharing of river water and mines, remained on paper. It wanted the Union government to acknowledge that the country had different nationalities, which should be given due share.
Demanding that States be given 75 per cent share of revenue from Central taxes and additional taxes, the party wanted that the States also be given the right to hoist the flags of State governments along with the national flag in their headquarters.
Tamil Eelam
The conference also vouched its support for creation of Tamil Eelam.
