Product details

Vyaktitvanni gouravinche pellilu, Periyar Ramaswamy, translator unknown, 36 pp, Rs. 30 \nPeriyar propagated, wrote about and conducted self-respect marriages whereby marriages were conducted without being officiated by a Brahmin priest. Periyar regarded the then conventional marriages as mere financial arrangements and often caused great debt through dowry. The Self-Respect movement encouraged inter-caste marriages, replacing arranged marriages by love marriages that are not constrained by caste. The self-respect movement encouraged widow remarriage as well. Tamil Nadu became the first state in 1967 to legalize Hindu marriages conducted without a Brahmin priest. \nPeriyar Ramaswamy was the famous iconoclast of Tamil Nadu. He led both the Dravidar and Self-Respect movement, to change the fate of Tamil Nadu entirely.
