whether periyar advocated a philosophy of hate or not,various people in this forum are having a vicious hatred for periyar. periyar advocated self respect. Truth will triumph. self serving twisting and turning and oohing and aahing will be revealed for what they are. the first amendment to the constitution was caused by a fraudulent claim by a person in the madras high court about not getting a seat inspite of scoring well. some questions. why are periyar statues existent in uttar pradesh? as regards reservation,46% of the obc s have 30 % reservation.13% of the upper castes can participate in 31 % of the open category seats.if they are consistently outscored by others ,what does that suggest?
