Man is equal to man. There should not be exploitation. One should help the other. No one should harm anybody. Generally there should be no room for grievance or complaint from anybody. Everyone should live and let others live, with a national spirit.
Periyar E. V. RamasamyVillage reform is not merely cleaning the roads, constructing schools and worshipping monasteries. It is not mere celebration of festivals.
Periyar E. V. RamasamyThere's no god. He who created god was a fool; he who spreads his name is a scoundrel and he who worships him is a barbarian.
Periyar E. V. RamasamyI want the Brahmins to realize that the Dravidian people today are very much hating those who cunningly cheated them with absurdities. They are now aware of the particular community making a living by spreading the foolishness. People have begun to hate god, religion, caste, mythologies (puranas) and so on.
