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.

Brahmins have divided country again and again and they are working full time to take hinduism to the bottom of humanity. Down with Brahmanism. Down with castism.

Really? reference to non-christians as pagans. Racisim that is rife in christian majority countries? I am waiting to see the day vatican has a pope from a third world country.

Mr. Gnana Rajasekharan Director of the movie is not talking about the Periyar's famous phrase "If u see a snake and a brahmin, kill the brahmin first". We can sit assured that the story/dialogues will be twisted to the likes of DMK/DK parties.

Mr. Vaempuli, I have a query about Periyar.. Since I am young, I am not aware of the history fully. Did Periyar say anything offensive about the christianity and Islam ? If so what was the stand taken by the secularists like Mu.Karunanidhi at that time....

Not to the best of my knowledge. His attacks were primarily directed at hinduism. I still desire to see Veeramani, Periyars disciple put up periyars statue in front of a mosque.Forget secularism for a while. Mu Ka and others are silent about periyars attacks on Tamil language and culture. He called Tamil a language of barbarians. Heavily criticised ThirukkuraL and refered to Kannagi in very unflattering language

IF PERIYAR SAID SO HE MUST BE A RASCIST IN THE MANE OF SOCIAL REFORMER.IT IS A PITY TO HAVE WORDS OF HATRED FROM HIM AND PROPLE SUPPORTING SUCH TYPE OF HATRED
