Coimbatore: Writer P. Thirumavelan wrote about Thanthai Periyar, "If he is not Tamilian, then who is Tamil?" The book launch was held at the Coimbatore Corporation Kalaiarangam on behalf of the Social Justice Council.
DMK Deputy General Secretary A. Raja, Actor Sathyaraj, Thanthai Periyar Dravida Kazhagam General Secretary K Ramakrishnan, Writer Pamaran and Pulavar Senthalai Gauthaman graced the occasion as special invitees.
Speaking on the occasion, Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhakam General Secretary K. Ramakrishnan said, "The Anti-Hindi Conference has been going on since 1938. It was started by Periyar.
Who is the only superstar in the film industry of Odisha and Maharashtra? Can't say if asked. Because Hindi language has entered everywhere. There is a subtlety in Amit Shah's claim that Hindi is the lingua franca.
It is with the intention that Tamils should not come all over India, he says that Hindi should come.
When we oppose it, the people there begin to hate us. That is what Amit Shah is doing. "
He said that the author Thirumavelan has narrated many deeds done by Periyar for Tamil in this book and asked everyone to read this book.
"If Periyar had not come up with the spelling reform, there would have been a major problem with the current technology (difficulty in writing letters in Tamil typing).
Also, as Thiruvalluvar said, the one who does not expect gratitude is Periyar. Chief Minister Stalin has ordered to stand up for the Tamilthai vaazthu song. This is the Dravidian model.
Later, actor Sathyaraj said, "I do not deserve the title of Puratchi Tamizhan and "Ina Murasu" might be the right one for him. Periyar has created a great force. This book written with various examples should be in the hands of all. It must be translated into world languages so that the British will write about Periyar", he said.
"Periyar's philosophies are for human tenderness. His thoughts are for the people of the world. Since Periyar was in Tamil Nadu, his thinking spread widely among the Tamils. Thirumavelan has written this book for the benefit of the Tamil community. Periyar has no problem with God. It was hard to act, then how hard it is to live like Periyar. Periyar, one of the richest man in TN, fought for humanity all his life.
At present, the term "Dravidian model" is very proud to say. Periyar can not be shaken by anyone. Superstitious beliefs, rituals, ceremonies, shastras, etc. cause mental distress (mental distress) to man. Therefore, Periyar is also a psychiatrist."
Other dignitaries of the event also spoke with glowing praise for the book and Periyar and asked the youngsters to master the writing about Periyar and take his world view wide and far.
