EVR was an atheist, noted for his antitheistic statement, "He who created god was a fool, he who spreads his name is a scoundrel, and he who worships him is a barbarian," attacking Hinduism in particular. In 1956, he took a procession of Rama's picture garlanded with slippers near Dharmapuri and destroyed the portrait in public, drawing widespread protests from offended Hindus. He protested only against Hindus not against any other religion. He knew only Hindus are calm people and event dont do harm to others whe he speak bad about their god too. If he would have spoken few words against other religions they must have taught him a lesson. Periyar married Maniammai a woman who was 40 years younger than him. But he propagated on freedom of women which he himself didnt follow. I request all the true Hindus to boycott this film.
