Today is birthday of a man who made me a human and taught me to think as a human. He broke all the myths that I had held about the caste and religion and revealed its ugliness and stupidity. The rigorous service rendered by him to the society uplifted many people like me and was a ladder for everyone to crusade against social evils. His name itself was allergic to religion, chauvinism, oppression and other such stupidities. He was a Rebel and a Revolutionary and his principles will live here as long as human traces can be found in this world. I bestow my salute to him for making me and many others to live a life as a Human. Thanks to that Great Grand Father, the White Bearded Rascal. He was called and will continue to be called as Periyar. He gave a new dimension for Atheism. This is a small tribute for him by sharing his Name and Activity in this broad minded arena. Please visit periyar.org to know more about him.
I’ve been looking for the tamil movie on Periyar called Periyar, with actor Satyaraj. Does anyone know if its available online anywhere? Or does anyone know of a place in Bangalore where I might find it?
Still remember when a few years ago i went to the video shop to rent a movie, since i was a SathiaraJ fan looked at the new flick on the stand “Periyar”. The movie was a treat as i happened to see most of his ideologies matching with mine and the kind of social work he had done needs far more than a pat on the back. The first thing i did next morning was to wiki Periyar and look at what his activities and life had been.
It was Sathiaraj (unintentionally) that led me to Thanthai Periyar aka E.V Ramaswamy and his inspirational life.
@ Donatello – http://mooviebuzzer.com/Tamil-Movies/Periyar.html try this, you may watch it online. Great acting done by Sathiaraj
