He has done exemplary works against Brahminical dominance, caste prevalence and women oppression in Tamilnadu.

E.V. Ramasamy joined the Indian National Congress in 1919, but resigned in 1925 when he felt that the party was only serving the interests of Brahmins. He questioned the subjugation of non-Brahmin Dravidians as Brahmins enjoyed gifts and donations from non-Brahmins but opposed and discriminated non-Brahmins in cultural and religious matters.[5][6] In 1924, E.V. Ramasamy participated in a non-violent agitation (satyagraha) in Vaikom, Kerala. From 1929 to 1932 Ramasamy made a tour of British Malaya, Europe, and Russia which influenced him.[how?][7] In 1939, E.V. Ramasamy became the head of the Justice Party,[8] and in 1944, he changed its name to Dravidar Kazhagam.[9]The party later split with one group led by C. N. Annadurai forming the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in 1949.[9] While continuing the Self-Respect Movement, he advocated for an independent Dravida Nadu (land of the Dravidians).[10]E.V.
