The DMK concentrating on reformative politics in Tamil Nadu during 1949-56. Language strategists are those figures who innovate prudently to promote linguistic interests. As a basic strategy the DMK preached the antiquity and achievements of the distant past of the Tamils. An ethnic group becomes a nationality when it has an image of its collective past and when its members are aware of and responsive to that image. The DMK men used to enter into villages and towns with microphone and amplifiers and create a festive climate by drapery, decoration of red and black party flags, and playing cinema records before they started their sermons. They would tell the people very seriously with all sincerity that the local people were the honourable sons and daughters of those great grand ancestors who lived in affluence and that their ancient rulers were great kings, seamen, conquerors but never intending to rule other people.In a society which believed in untouchability, they went to address the local gathering, they used to dine with the local leaders. In the party, they developed family-like relationships. The leaders were treated as elder brothers. The party men who developed the necessary oratorical talent could exaggerate the prevailing state of affairs. They would shed tears to narrate the sufferings of the people.

Tamil egalitarian ideas were partly rediscovered by nineteenth century Christian missionaries, and they left their impress of the unique antiquity of Tamil language, literature, history and culture. Certain statements by European missionary scholars like Percival, Winslow, Caldwell, Pope and others kindled a sense of pride among Tamils about their heritage. The European missionaries opened up the flood gates of Dravidian studies which in fact led to the rediscovery of the Dravidian past. C.J Beschi, Fr.Henriques, Robert De Nobilli, are the forerunners of the Tamil Purist Movement who started the de-sanskritisation process and extended it to all fields of writing. Before launching the Pure Tamil Movement, Swami Vedachalam had a preparatory period during which he had the benefit of learning and discussing matters with active and eminent native personalities like Prof. Sundaram Pillai, Nallasami Pillai and Prof.
