DMK president M.K. Stalin addressed a distinguished literary gathering convened in Chennai to release two important books authored by veteran rationalist thinker Pulavar Ma. Nannan, titled 'Agamum Puramum' and 'Ivardham Periyar'. Stalin praised the late scholar for dedicating his intellectual career to demystifying Tamil literature, promoting scientific temper, and inculcating social justice ideals across several generations of students and readers.

Stalin highlighted that Pulavar Nannan maintained an unshakeable allegiance to Thanthai Periyar and the self-respect movement. He noted that Nannan utilized linguistics and classical literature not for esoteric indulgence, but as potent instruments to dismantle caste oppression, superstition, and cultural enslavement. Stalin observed that preserving and disseminating Nannan's writings is vital to protecting Tamil intellectual heritage from regressive distortions and communal revisionism.

The DMK president emphasized that the Dravidian movement has always drawn foundational strength from thinkers, writers, and educators who defended rational inquiry. He urged teachers, researchers, and political cadres to read Nannan's insightful works to comprehend the historic struggles that shaped modern Tamil Nadu. Stalin reaffirmed the party's unwavering dedication to patronizing progressive literature and celebrating the tireless champions of Dravidian philosophy.
