Tamil Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front Calls for Unity Against Casteism and Right-Wing Groups

PUDUCHERRY – December 28, 2025 – The Tamil Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front (TNUEF) concluded its fifth State conference today, sounding the alarm about the persistent issue of caste-based atrocities and the rise of regressive ideologies. General Secretary K. Samuel Raj urged all sections of society to unite against what he described as a “conspiracy of right-wing groups.”

Raj expressed concern over backward views being expressed even by directors of prestigious research institutions, raising doubts about the direction of Indian society.

Alathur Member of Parliament K. Radhakrishnan highlighted Kerala’s progress, attributing it to historical Marxist-led movements against casteism and religious fanaticism. He cited the land reforms and social welfare initiatives of the first Communist government, led by E.M.S. Namboodiripad, as foundational to the state’s development. “Kerala continues to advance today because of these movements, and the Untouchability Eradication Front will carry forward these struggles across the country,” Radhakrishnan stated.

The conference also passed resolutions demanding that the Puducherry government ensure proper implementation of funds allocated under the Special Component Plan (SCP). A further resolution called for the enactment of separate legislation to address and prevent “honor” killings in the region.
