Periyar E.V. Ramasamy (1879–1973) was one of the most influential social reformers and rationalist thinkers in modern India. His critique of religion formed the foundation of his struggle against caste oppression, social inequality, and Brahminical dominance. Within Dalit Philosophy, Periyar's ideas are significant because they challenged the religious and social structures that legitimized the oppression of Dalits and other marginalized communities. He believed that true human liberation was impossible without questioning religious beliefs that sustained hierarchy and discrimination. Periyar argued that religion, particularly Brahminical Hinduism, was not merely a matter of personal faith but a powerful instrument of social control. According to him, sacred texts such as the Manusmriti, the Vedas, and the Puranas promoted caste hierarchy by assigning unequal status to different communities.
