Despite EVR losing to Sathyamurthy within the Congress, EVRs followers many decades later had their last hateful laugh when surreptiously they removed his name from Sathyamurthy reservoir in Poondi which was conceived by Satyamurthy to supply water to Chennai city. In short, while Tamil Brahmins used the opportunities that the British Government provided, it was not that they arm-twisted anybody to get where they did. This anticulture craze in Tamilnadu soon spread and tempted politicians across India, who also went over drive to erect statues for their leaders in different corners of India. He either ignored the prejudices of others or simply admonished them to behave well in the future. When Brahmin Sathyamurthy led Congress entered the famous Madurai Meenakshi Temple with Dalits, EVR objected. EVR was like a heavy road roller that crushed anything that came between his deep desires but was smart and cunning enough to mask them as social issues. Yet, he tweeted against Rajinikanth's statements, saying, "Periyar should be kept at the highest pedestal and respected.". EVR petitioned to the Raj to consider a separate South Indian Dravidian state if India was to be divided as a Hindu India and a Muslim nation. He said, without so much as a pause, that Gandhi was killed by Brahmins because Gandhi was turning into a Periyar himself!

Breaking of idols of Lord Ganesha in Salem when Congress ruled Tamilnadu and India during early 1950s didnt elicit even murmurs of intolerance as Hindus were subdued for over a thousand years and Secular congress was a mere continuation of that colonial British rule that was indifferent and insensitive to majoritarian Hindu sentiments.

They attributed exactly like Hitler did with the German Jews grand conspiracies and clever manipulations by Brahmins for the plight of the non-Brahmins. Nevertheless, he has never spoken about, or against, Periyar thus far. Ambedkar, who was a prodigious scholar, Periyar was a street-fighter, and the things he said in anger are largely unprintable (though it is available in print in Tamil). I have watched the movie.
