Periyar didn't hate brahmins, he hated only brahminism. Really? "If u see a snake and a brahmin, kill the brahmin first" Thus spake periyar. His was a rationalism that bordered on the pervert. He denounced Tamil language and culture more than anyone else. An issue conveniently hidden from the public. Well what else to expect from someone who hero worships a mass murderer like Stalin? Yes, he should have become a Soviet citizen and deported to a Gulag. Where he could have enjoyed all the benefits of a free society.
