Anti-Brahmanism vs. Anti-Brahmin
, your edit had removed the following text that I had added in this section —
 * However, Ramaswamy did make incendiary statements towards the encouragement of violence against the Brahmin community: "Pambaium parpanaium partha parpanai adi" - If you see a snake and a Brahmin, beat the Brahmin.  Ramasamy also claimed, on several occasions, that to eliminate the caste system, driving away the Brahmins was crucial.  In October 1957, he supposedly called upon his followers to kill Brahmins and set fire to their houses. On 3 November 1957, Dravidar Kazhagam held a convention in Thanjavur under Ramasamy's leadership and demanded that the Government of India delete provisions from the Constitution dealing with religious freedom (which, they believed, gave protection to the caste system and particularly to Brahmins), and if they failed to do so the copies of the Constitution would be burnt, and portraits and statues of Mahatma Gandhi would be broken; if it produced no results, the Dravidar Kazhagam members would be asked to kill Brahmins and burn their residential localities. In 1973 he again called to "kill Tamil Brahmins" in a speech in Karaikudi.

Do you have any objection if I add it back? — Yuyutsu Ho (talk) 17:46, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Periyar's anti semitism view changed post holocaust and has condemned Hitler.
