 | | Thanthai Periyar strongly believed that for all the evils of suppression and discrimination of people on the basis of caste, the root causes lie in the blind belief in god, and religions and the other superstitous beliefs of innocent and uneducated people. | | | Periyar was as much against religion as he was against god. | | | Periyar wanted that in the place of untouchablility the word Caste must be substituted, as it is the caste that is the cause for all the evils including untouchability. |

| | Thanthai Periyar |
| | There can be no doubt that Periyar was an original thinker, and was the first who, through his speeches and writings, and the media organ `Viduthalai', jolted the people out of their smug acceptance of superstitions and outdated beliefs. | | | To the chagrin of the high priests of the Dravidian movement, he is on record describing the Tamils as kaattumiraandigal (barbarians) and Tamil language as kaattumiraandi baashai (barbarian language). | | | However, his raging rhetoric blurred the distinction, instigating his aggressive disciples to launch movements against the wearing of caste marks, the sacred thread and the mangal sutra. |

| | The Modern Rationalist - May - 2001 |
| | He was the first warrior of social justice ever seen in Tamilnadu, by founding 'The self-respect movement' in 1925 to combat and conquer the fanaticism of the poisonous casteism and Hindu religion cunningly rooted by the Brahmins with their Sanskrit language to supress and subjugate the life, language and culture of the ancient Dravidian Race. | | | "Thanthai Periyar" E.V.Ramasamy was the First original thinker of rationalism born in Tamilnadu, who daringly declared that "There is no god at all". | | | Till the dawn of 20th century A.D., no rationalist was born in Tamilnadu with such an iron-courage as to counter the very existence of God. |
