Abstract

During his lifetime, Iyothee Thassa carried out many activities such as reservation, self-respect marriage, widow marriage, rationalism, anti-Brahmanism, abolition of superstition, Adi Dravidar schools, communal rights, abolition of caste, Tamil progress, Indian history from the point of view of Buddhism, etc. These efforts of his became a guide to leaders like Ambedkar, Periyar, etc. His ideas are the foundation, capital, and ideology of today's Dravidian movements. Since such issues continue even after his time, the later Dravidar Kazhagams have also absorbed the ideas of Iyothee Thassa and are still functioning as rational and Dravidian movements. This article aims to show that Iyothee Thass was the originator of the Dravidian movement principles.
