Self Respect Movement Under Periyar AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 SELF RESPECT MOVEMENT UNDER PERIYAR M. Nala Assistant Professor of History Sri Sarada College for Women (Autonomous), Salem- 16 Self Respect Movement represented the Dravidian reaction against the Aryan domination in the Southern Society. It also armed at liberating the society from the evils of religious, customs and caste system. They tried to give equal status to the downtrodden and give the social dignity, Self Respect Movement was directed by the Dravidian communities against the Brahmanas. The movement wanted a new cultural society more based on reason rather than tradition. It aimed at giving respect to the instead of to a Brahmin. By the 19th Century Tamil renaissance gained strength because of the new interest in the study of the classical culture. The European scholars like Caldwell Beschi and Pope took a leading part in promoting this trend. C.V. Meenakshi Sundaram and Swaminatha Iyer through their wirtings and discourse contributed to the ancient glory of the Tamil. The resourceful poem of Bharathidasan, a disciple of Subramania Bharati noted for their style, beauty and force. C.N. Annadurai popularized a prose style noted for its symphony. These scholars did much revolutionise the thinking of the people and liberate Tamil language from brahminical influence. Thus they tried resist alien influence especially Aryan Sanskrit and to create a new order. The chief grievance of the Dravidian communities was their failure to obtain a fair share in the administration. Among then only the caste Hindus received education in the schools and colleges, founded by the British and the Christian missionaries many became servants of the Government, of these many were Brahmins. As a result other educated people in different communities entertained bitter feelings against the Brahmins that they were standing in the way of their progress. Volume 8, Issue 7, 2020 http://aegaeum.com/ Page No: 337 AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 The Anti-brahmin movement was led by E.V.Ramasami Naicker (1879- 1973) belonged to Erode, hailing from the Naicker community of Kannada descent. He turned his attention towards the untouchable. He was eager to find an explanation for their miserable condition. Hence he bagan to study all religious text. He was dissatisfied with the works because of their inconsistencies. Even sages and saints failed to satisfy his eagerness. Later he decided to work on his own for the freedom and welfare of the society and eradication of untouchability. He joined the Congress Party and worked among the common people and led the Non-cooperation Movement in 1920. In 1922 was elected president of the Tamil Nadu Congress committee. He found the party not suited to his way of thinking and ideals. The leadership of the party was not much linked with the common society. Further his identification with the struggle for social justice was viewed with suspicion. In Kerala the Ezhavas and other untouchable were forbidden for worshipping in the temples and entering the public streets. These people were determined to assert their rights and the consequence was the 1924 Satyagraha at Vaikom. When Naicker heard about the harassment of these people, he hurried to their place and courted arrest. His wife Nagammai also joined the movement. The struggle continued till the government of Travancore (a state then) yielded and opened the temple road to all unrespective of caste or creed. E.V. Ramasamy equally attacked V.V.S. Iyer and Sermadevi Gurukulam Ashram which was supported by Congress Party with funds. There was communal discrimination. He also disagreed with Mahatma Gandhi who also stood for the untouchable and temple entry. He brought a resolution in the party for providing equal opportunity for education and employment for the depressed communities but it got defeated, by the pro Brahmin grouped healed by T.V. Volume 8, Issue 7, 2020 http://aegaeum.com/ Page No: 338 AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 Kalyanasundara Mudaliar, protesting against this defeat Naicker left the Congress Party. In 1925 Naicker started the Self Respect Movement. The basis of this was rational thinking self respect, self confidence and to enable the people to enjoy political and social freedom. No religion but reason. It also aimed at infusing a sense of dignity among the people of the Dravidians. Hence he began attacking and destroying the existing cultural heritage. He aimed at the destruction of the time old of caste, religion, zamindari and princely order. He wanted to eradicate untouchability, inequality distractions based on status and sex, Aryan domination and Hindi imperialism implantation his other aims were inter communal after self respect marriage with no priest or ritual and also liberation. No doubt for his new views and revolutions he suffered pubble attacks and also imprisonments. Still his conviction was unshakable. The following are the focal themes in the Social Revolution study of the Self-Respect Movement. Concept of the Self-Respect Movement and its growth: From the beginning of its inception, the Self-respect Movement involved itself in creating totally a new society without making any efforts to reform the existing old ceremonial and traditional society. It considered that in their idea of creating a new social order, there is no place for any minor reforms. That is why Periyar compared the old social order with the well giving water through its fountains. Moreover, Periyar explained about the difference between reforms and total abolition and claimed that he is an abolitionist and not a reformist. Mixing medicines in the water of the well or pumping out the entire water of the well is a work of reformation. But closing the well and digging a new well is a work of abolition. Periyar said that he claimed himself as an abolitionist only in this manner. Felting the need to remove the drawbacks in the society in the name of social reformation, the Self-Respect Movement Volume 8, Issue 7, 2020 http://aegaeum.com/ Page No: 339 AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 undertook the task of removing or demolishing such drawbacks and obstacles prevailing in the society on the basis of god, religion, puranas and Ithihasas. The principles, the Periyar Self-respect Movement undertook to campaign for the past 90 years, like rejection of god, rejection of caste, stringent in spending for marriages, opposition to the ambition of wearing more number of jewels, asserting women’s rights, demolition of temples, opposition to the mentality of earning more and more properties, have become the elements instigating the people to follow them. Periyar stood firmly in his attempts to get the society liberated from the heriditary and traditional grips and to make it a economically developed one. The origin of the Self Respect Movement : The Dravidian people were ill-treated in the name of religion, gods, vedas, sasthras, rites and rituals. The oppressed people had to face many attrocities from the upper caste people. To relieve them from such indignation and to cultivate a sense of self-respect, equality and fraternity among them, Periyar started this Self-respect Movement in the year 1925. Due to the domination of the Brahmins, the Dravidian people had to lead a life like a worm. The self-respect Movement started by Periyar to relieve our people from such indignation and ill treatment, was welcomed by the public and earned their appreciation. There is a vast difference between the self-respect the foreigners are having and our people are having. Their sense of equality is aimed only for their economic development . But our sense of self-respect and equality are aimed at various spheres of political, social, educational knowledge, profession, scientific and economic fields. The ambition of Periyar was that our people should form their lives on the basis of their development in the above spheres most suitable for human beings. Volume 8, Issue 7, 2020 http://aegaeum.com/ Page No: 340 AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 Philosophy of the Self-Respect Movement Self- respect is nothing but respecting one’s own knowledge and wisdom. Refusing to accept the ideas unsuitable for the common sense of the people is Self-respect. Accepting something merely for the reason that all those things find place in Vedas, Puranas, Ithihasas, told by rishis, followed by our ancestors and came generation after generation heriditarily, can not be considered as giving respect to ones’ own self thinking. Independent thinking and taking of decision is considered self-thinking and self-respect. It is not because that all the decisions taken after self-thinking will always be correct. Though the ideas and decisions emanating from self-thinking may not be correct, if a man has got the power and boldness to think independently, he is considered as a person having Self-Respect. One’s feeling of self giving respect to the self knowledge, ability to think and take decisions independantly is the power of Self-respect. Though the decisions taken and the principles followed are flawed, if the power of independant thinking and boldness is involved in those decisions and principles, they points out the talents and boldness inherent in the principle of self-respect. Atheism is a part and parcel of the Self-respect philosophy. “The man who created god is a fool, The man who propagates the concept of god is a scoundrel The man who worships god is a barbarian.” Periyar inscribed strongly the concept of atheism in the philosophy of self-respect itself. As the concept of atheism has naturally taken place along with the self-respect movement, the concept of religion, sasthras, puranas, ithihasas and the practice of rites, rituals, celebrations, festivals were totally neglected by the followers of the self-respect movement.

  • Inspiring Songs on Women Empowerment by Mahakavi Subramania Bharati
    IOSR Journal of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 21, Issue 10, Ver. 11 (October.2016) PP 24-28 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Inspiring Songs on Women Empowerment by Mahakavi Subramania Bharati Shobha Ramesh Carnatic Classical Musician, All India Radio Artist and Performer,B.Ed,M.Phil,Cultural Studies and Music,Jain University,Bangalore,India Abstract:-In early India, in the name of tradition, men had for long suppressed women and had deprived them of their rightful place in society. Even in the mid-nineteenth century, women had absolutely negligible rights in Indian society and had to be subjugated to their husbands and others in society.Literacy among women was not given any importance in Indian society as a woman’s role as a male caretaker, wife or mother only took precedence. Even today, in many remote villages and very conservative households, women are supposed to cover their heads with the ‘pallu’(one portion) of their saris (the traditional attire of women in India)in the presence of elders and are not allowed to voice their opinions freely or even express their desires freely in their household. This great Indian freedom fighter and poet Mahakavi Subramania Bharati brought to light the oppression against women in the male-dominated Indian society through his awe-inspiring songs on women empowerment wherein he envisaged a new strong woman of the future, who he termed as a ‘new-age woman’. He envisaged the new-age woman as one who brakes free from all the chains that bind her to customs,traditions and age-old beliefs, as one who marches ahead confidently to find an identity of her own, one who walks hand in hand with her male counterpart, equal to him in all walks of life Keywords: Women, male-domination, Mahakavi Subramania Bharati, new-age woman, empowerment I.

  • Reputation of C
    The Reputation of C. Subramania Bharati 1921 to the Present P. K. Sundararajan C. Subramania Bharati was born in 1882, and died at the young age of 39 years in 1921. Bharati did not enjoy a lot of public attention during his short lifetime. His life was not a life of noticeable, or spectacular, or sensational events. He was born the son of a prosperous middle- class Brahmin; lost his mother when he was barely 5; was brought up by relatives on the maternal side of his family; married at 15; put himself through the semblance of a university education; as a passionate advocate for India’s liberty, exiled himself to Pondicherry; courted persecution at the hands of the British; was sporadically employed as a journalist; until death claimed him due to a casual illness. But, during this eventless life, Destiny conspired to create through Bharati the 20th-century Renaissance in Tamil language and literature. The aim of this brief article is to study this phenomenon, and to assess the reputation of Bharati during the past century and a quarter. Young Subbiah had a gift for words, and was known to make poetry at 6 or 7 years of age. As a boy, he seems to have made friends among the learned pundits of the Zamindari of Ettayapuram. A group of admirers endowed the young Subbiah with the title Bharati, which means Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge. It is noteworthy that Subbiah carried the title Bharati for the rest of his life, and, in fact, came to be known by the title and its adaptations, Bharati and Bharatiyar.

  • Independence Day
    INDEPENDENCE DAY ‘Swaraj is my Birthright and I shall have it’- Bal Gangadhar Tilak India celebrates its Independence Day on 15th August every year. Independence Day reminds us of all the sacrifices that were made by our freedom fighters to make India free from British rule. On 15th August 1947, India was declared independent from British colonialism and became the largest democracy in the world. "Tryst with Destiny" was an English-language speech delivered by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, to the Indian Constituent Assembly in the Parliament, on the eve of India's Independence, towards midnight on 14 August 1947.
