MOST SHOCKING THING IN THIS INTERVIEW...
by on May 01, 2007 02:05 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

As Per this GnanaSekar, Periyar said this:



"After his mother died in her nineties, he wrote, 'She should not have lived that long. Because of the backwardness of her ideas, she was not a fit person to live long"



Now this sounds Hitlerist to me.. Should a person, however great Social reformer may he be, dictate how another person should think ?

No, as far as I heard, Periyar did not have any children from his marriages... also he was a play boy in his earlier part of life... In all probability, he must be Infertile.

May be that's reason he married an young girl to prevent his fortune from going to the party. GREAT SOCIAL REFORMER!!!

it is easy to tare a paper and spend rumours. please read about him, then comment. he did not have any thing for him and he spent all his money for the social justice. Guess, Karunanidhi was able to sweep the entire poll. Do you think, Periyar could not have come to power, if was starving for money ?
