Hey mate
His journey from the day he launched the Self-Respect Movement in 1925 to the end of his long life was not all a bed of roses, especially in the initial stages. His path was strewn with more thorns than roses, and he won more brickbats than bouquets. Yet the fortitude and courage he displayed is truly amazing.
Periyar was not the one who was satisfied with mere slogans, sermons and rhetorics.
On the other hand, even before he could completely recast the society of his dreams, he saw no reason why the non-Brahmins who were virtually shut out of official position and educational opportunities, should groan indefinitely in poverty, illiteracy and ignorance.
Especially in the early years of his launching his movement he was to face an avalanche of opposition - the kind that would have swept away anybody of a lesser calibre. He was continuously described as pro-British and condemned as a trouble shooter and an atheist. Only brickbats and chappals greeted him wherever he went.
Once when he was addressing a meeting at Chinnalapatti, a village near Gandhigram in Madurai District, he was stoned resulting in serious injuries, when he got his left arm fractured. At Madurai itself the huge conference pandal at Vaigai was set on fire. In 1946 and while visiting Sivaganga he was actually greeted with a huge arch of old and worn-out chappals. At Cuddalore, chappals and snakes were hurled on him. Paradoxically today, it is at these places, including Madurai and Cuddalore massive statues of Periyar with inscriptions of his Self-Respect philosophy on the pedestals have been installed by the local people’s committees.
