'Thamizh Thāi'

Thamizh Thāi (Mother Tamil or Tamil Mother) is personification of Tamil language which had been prominent in 20th century literature and politics of Tamil Nadu. The earliest known such personification of Tamil was by Subramania Bharati, who also wrote songs on Bharata Matha – national personification of India. However, the concept of Mother Tamil found itself in the focal point in the years after Indian independence where Dravidian politics was finding its prominence in Madras State. The feminization of the Tamil language did not stop itself with portraying the language as a mother, but also extended itself to describe the language as a goddess, queen and a maiden.

Syama Prasad Mookerjee
Syama Prasad Mookerjee the founder of Bharatiya Jana Sangh (which later became Bharathiya Janata Party in independent India) said on 10 July 1944 The real surprise, painful indeed, is that Gandhiji should have allowed his name to be dragged into this amazing offer which is a virtual acceptance of Pakistan [...] Gandhiji feelingly announced some time ago that India's unity was an article of faith with him and that if Pakistan had to come, it would have to come over his dead body. The arch-magician [Rajaji] of Madras has worked a miracle by making Gandhiji forget this momentous declaration of his. As the then President of the All India Hindu Mahasabha wrote a letter to Gandhi stating that Gandhi's endorsement of the formula would encourage Jinnah on his stance on dividing British India. On 19 August 1944 he declared that Before now everybody had thought that Pakistan was a colossal hoax but by giving his approval to the C. R. plan, Gandhiji had placed it for consideration before the country.
