Call to revive Devadasi system must be condemned: DK leader Arulmozhi | The Federal

Tamil Nadu's Dravidar Kazhagam (DK) has announced a counter-seminar after a literary collective, Nayagi, organised an event highlighting the artistic and cultural contributions of Devadasis, alleging it glossed over why the system was legally abolished in 1947. DK Propaganda Secretary A Arulmozhi, who is an advocate, tells The Federal that the Nayagi event risks reviving sympathy for a system built on the exploitation of women and children, and that DK's seminar will highlight reformers like Moovalur Ramamirtham Ammaiyar and Muthulakshmi Reddi, who fought for its abolition. #devadasi #devadasisystem #tamilnadu #dravidarkazhagam #dk #nayagi #muthulakshmireddy #moovalurramamirtham #womensrights #socialreform #tamilhistory #socialjustice #culturalhistory #devadasireform #thefederal --- ▶For the latest news and analysis - https://thefederal.com/  ▶RSS Feed - https://thefederal.com/google_feeds.xml ▶For more explainers, and interesting videos - https://thefederal.com/category/videos ▶To watch The Federal's shows listed together for your easy access, click here:    • The Federal Programmes   Follow The Federal News here - ▶Website: https://thefederal.com/ ▶Facebook:   / thefederal.india   ▶X: https://x.com/TheFederal_News ▶Instagram:   / thefederal_india   ▶LinkedIn:   / thefederal   ▶Whatsapp channel: https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029... ▶Threads: TheFederal India (@thefederal_india) ▶Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3fy3utP... #TheFederal #India #BreakingNews #LatestNews #News #Delhi #Mumbai #Parliament #NarendraModi #RahulGandhi #Politics #Business #Economy Download The Federal App here - ▶Android - http://bit.ly/3DJSkiu ▶iPhone - http://bit.ly/TheFederalios
