hi rajeevan i guess u dont know the life history of periyar and the interview is just a part of his thoughts. He never fought for this personal fame. Before he started to remove the social contradictions, he held 29 govt posts which is listed in the interview. You must not aware of the power that he enjoyed by holding the post. He literally throws everything.
He is a big millionare also.
No social things will happen as is until unless if somebody takes the charge. As of rang de basanti, either u need to keep the things going as is or guts to change it of your course.
He had the guts to change the things and he did that.
He never say that he is right and everything is right in front you. You must think and rethink yourself and take the good one
