I 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.
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. RamasamyBy helping the poor, we must be able to remove their poverty. But extending help to one here and one there in the form of providing food will not remove poverty.
Periyar E. V. RamasamyThose who still believe the Brahmins should take a serious note of the changing times and start leading an awakened life.
Periyar E. V. RamasamyWhile all men are born as equals, to say that Brahmins alone are the highest and all others are low as Pariah (the Untouchables) or Panchama is sheer nonsense. It is roguish to say so. It is a big hoax played on us.
