'PERIYAR' E.V.Ramasamy's Birth Anniversary

We remember 'Thanthai Periyar' E.V.Ramasamy in his 123rd Birth Anniversary

               Periyar propagated the principles of rationalism, self-respect, women’s rights and eradication of caste. He opposed the exploitation and marginalisation of the non-Brahmin indigenous Dravidian peoples of South India and the imposition of, what he considered,Indo-Aryan India. His work has greatly revolutionised Tamil society and has significantly removed caste-based discrimination. He is also responsible for bringing new changes to the Tamil alphabet.
