'Periyar was against Brahminism, not Brahmins' this interview with Mr Gnana Rajasekharan, is a thought provking one and enlighted me. i did learn gem of lessons for life from the principle of Great Periyar. it is indeed true that Periyar was much ahead of his time. i firmly believe that he was against relgious practices not religions.
his radical thinking and belief is clearly shown in his writing "In 1928, he started a movement called self-respect movement. If you read it, you will see he had such a great vision."
At the entrance to the conference, it was written, widows and those who are branded as prostitutes are welcome. He always respected women.
