Women’s rights

As a rationalist and ardent social reformer, Periyar advocated forcefully throughout his life that women should be given their legitimate position in society as the equals of men and that they should be given good education and have the right to property. He thought age and social customs was not a bar in marrying women. He was keen that women should realise their rights and be worthy citizens of their country.[56]

Periyar fought against the orthodox traditions of marriage as suppression of women in Tamil Nadu and throughout the Indian sub-continent. Though arranged marriages were meant to enable a couple to live together throughout life, it was manipulated to enslave women.[57] Much worse was the practice of child marriages practised throughout India at the time. It was believed that it would be a sin to marry after puberty.[58] Another practice, which is prevalent today, is the dowry system where the bride's family is supposed to give the husband a huge payment for the bride. The purpose of this was to assist the newly wedded couple financially, but in many instances dowries were misused by bridegrooms. The outcome of this abuse turned to the exploitation of the bride's parents wealth, and in certain circumstances, lead to dowry deaths.[59] There have been hundreds of thousands of cases where wives have been murdered, mutilated, and burned alive because the father of the bride was unable to make the dowry payment to the husband. Periyar fiercely stood up against this abuse meted out against women.[60]

Women in India also did not have rights to their families' or husbands' property. Periyar fought fiercely for this and also advocated for women to have the right to separate or divorce their husbands under reasonable circumstances.[60]While birth control remained taboo in society of Periyar's time, he advocated for it not only for the health of women and population control, but for the liberation of women.[61]

He criticised the hypocrisy of chastity for women and argued that it should either apply also to men, or not at all for both genders.[62] While fighting against this, Periyar advocated getting rid of the Devadasi system. In his view it was an example of a list of degradations of women, attaching them to temples for the entertainment of others, and as temple prostitutes.[63] Further, for the liberation of women, Periyar pushed for their right to have an education and to join the armed services and the police force.[62][64]

According to biographer M.D. Gopalakrishnan, Periyar and his movement achieved a better status for women in Tamil society. Periyar held that, in matters of education and employment, there should be no difference between men and women. Gopalakrishnan states that Periyar's influence in the State departments and even the Center made it possible for women to join police departments and the army. Periyar also spoke out against child marriage.[52]

Indulo what is awkward

Hindutva history idhe laaga tavvithey antha kampey.. eellu periyar gurinchi talking.

rajiv gandhi 90s lo govt offices ni computerize chesthey, daaniki kooda they rallied against. 

vammo hindutva is one backwards ass movement.

dravidian movement has a lot of flaws, the movement didnt benefit dalits anedhi truth, but it was a consequence of power politics, and something that will be addressed in the future. Hindutva is outright fascist movement.

to say Periyar is hindutva without the brahmins is just bullshit.Periyar is a progressive even by modern standards.

Endhuko vallaki antha hatred. All he wanted was justice to his people and showed how they were being exploited. Dhaaniki they still hate him and cook up all sorts of propaganda against him.
