Mannin Maindhargal Kazhagam (MMK)
The Mannin Maindhargal Kazhagam (Tamil: மண்ணின் மைந்தர்கள் கழகம், lit. 'Sons of the Soil Association'; abbreviated as MMK) is a political party in India, primarily active in Tamil Nadu. The party was officially registered with the Election Commission of India in 2019, evolving from an earlier social welfare organization.
History and Formation
The origins of the Mannin Maindhargal Kazhagam trace back to a social welfare society named "Latchiya Sirubanmai Makkal Nala Sangam" (Ideal Minority People's Welfare Association). This society was registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975, and focused its efforts on assisting minorities and disadvantaged communities.
Recognizing the limitations of social activism in securing legal rights for these marginalized groups, the organization transitioned into a political party. The Mannin Maindhargal Kazhagam was formed in 2019 and subsequently registered with the Election Commission of India. The party's website indicates that its political journey was solidified in 2022 to more directly address the legal and political challenges faced by its target communities.
Leadership and Principles
The MMK aims to provide a platform for the rights of marginalized groups, including minorities and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. While the website doesn't explicitly name a single "founder" in the traditional sense, it describes an "Ideological Leader For Youth Generation" who initiated the fight for these rights, first through social activism and later by forming the political party to confront political challenges more directly. The party's core principles and objectives include:
- Democracy: Upholding democratic values and ensuring the people's authority in governance.
- Social Care: Providing personal care and practical assistance to individuals requiring extra support, including children, young people, and adults.
- Justice for All: Striving for equitable justice for all citizens, particularly the marginalized.
- People's Rights: Actively raising a voice for and securing the rights of the populace.
- Economic Growth: Contributing to the growth and development of the economy.
- Environmental Development: Promoting and engaging in activities for environmental well-being.
- Social Security: Working towards ensuring social security for all sections of society.
Activities and Stance
The Mannin Maindhargal Kazhagam engages in various political activities, including conducting candidate introduction meetings and general assemblies. The party's stated mission is to challenge established political figures and advocate for the rights of its constituents.
