Hype over generic name for a group of SCs fades

Krishnasamy not happy with decision
The nature of electoral politics seems to have ensured that the hype over the provision of the generic title of ‘Devendrakula Velalar’ to a group of seven Scheduled Castes has fizzled out.
Puthiya Tamilagam, one of the important parties that was at the forefront of the campaign for bringing the seven communities under one fold and their removal from the list of the Scheduled Castes, is no longer in the AIADMK-led alliance. When the Centre decided to bring in legislation on the generic name a month ago, Puthiya Tamilagam founder K. Krishnasamy expressed disappointment over the exclusion of his demand for the removal of the communities from the list of the Scheduled Castes. Subsequently, the AIADMK and the BJP appeared to have maintained a distance from the party.
