Talk:Self-respect Movement

Lies and anti-Hinduism propaganda...Every line of this article and title prooves that. Wikipedia is not for propaganda. ---Holy Ganga 07:25, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

well this article is verifiable and true,and it has been written that brahmins faced persecution,which is tottaly a wrong usage.the discrimination was there,but a single drop of blood was not spilled. but in the eventual years,people from thevar community and nayak community would perpetrate attacks on dalits and low caste people in tamil nadu.--Jayanthv86 05:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

I think this article is a little too harsh on Periyar. Though there was *some* reverse discrimination, there were many positive aspects to the Self-Respect Movement: lower castes able to walk the streets with impunity, able to enter the temples to pray, etc. These positive aspects need to stressed, in my opinion.--Srikanth srinivasan 17:59, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
