Edapadi K Palaniswami's 'Battle Sword': A New Weapon in AIADMK's Internal War; DMK Had Publication With Same Name in 1950s

AIADMK leader Edappadi K Palaniswami has launched a new publication named Porvaal (battle sword) in response to a rival faction's move. This name echoes a historical magazine started by Kanchi Manimozhiyar in 1947 to champion the cause of a separate Dravidian land, marking a significant chapter in Dravidian politics.
