Question

advice people to give up animal sacrifice , drinking and other social evils
​

Answer 1

Answer: The Aryan Cult imposed on Dravidian Tamil Nadu and the

primitive customs of Tamil Society had brought several evils

which were eating the very vital force of Society^. In the

18th and the 19th centuries Tamil country was not free from

the social evils which existed in other parts of India.

Western culture and education very soon installed in the

minds of the Indians a spirit of rational enquiry into the

basis of Hindu religion and Society. Caste disparities in

Madras Presidency had brought in the non-Brahmin movement,

while several reformers fought against social customs like

child marriage, sati, infanticide, untouchabililty, Polygamy

and Slavery . They desired to purge Tamil Society of the

evils prevailing in it. As a result of the efforts of the

social reformers and British officers with humanitarian

feelings, many social evils were removed by legislation^.
