E.V. Ramasamy, known as Periyar, played a pivotal role in shaping the political and social landscape of Tamil Nadu, advocating for the rights of the marginalized, promoting rationalism, and opposing caste-based discrimination, while also challenging the foundations of Vedic Hinduism and emphasizing the need for a Dravidian identity and self-respect among non-Brahmins. #Periyar #SocialReform #TamilNadu #IN #KE
