Abstract

Have created religions and sastras in Indian society and kept people from living together. Such thinking has grown into an ideology and pervaded the nation. It is in this context that Dravidian ideology, which has emerged in the Tamil landscape, has developed into an ideology of liberation from the superstitions and oppression of the people. Scholars such as Caldwell, Ayothee Thasar, and Periyar have played a major role in the formation and development of such progressive ideology. This article aims to examine the ideas put forward by Ayothee Thasar in line with Dravidian ideology in the life cultures of the Tamil people.
