The Other Stalin

Heir apparent to the DMK leadership, MK Stalin. His website is at www.mkstalin.net

 

The website explains that the "leader of the Dravidian movement Periyar E.V.Ramaswamy was greatly fascinated by the communist ideals after his visit to the Soviet Union. It soon caught on in Tamil Nadu and people started naming their children after the great leaders of the Soviet Union. The most popular were Lenin and Stalin and the communism wave even led to children, being named after Moscow and Russia. Consequently, the leader of the DMK party Dr.Kalaignar bestowed the name Stalin to his son oblivious to the fact that this political connotation would also ultimately lead to a political career."
