Abstract
Father Periyar was a great personality of Tamil Nadu. Who developed a theoretical definition of the struggle for social justice? Periyar's ideas will give a new impetus not only to yesterday, but also to future activists. This article is written to highlight Periyar's views, especially on art, literature and culture, and to raise awareness for future generations. This article examines Periyar's humanitarian theory, Periyar's unique contributions to the struggle for social justice, and Periyar's views on art literature. It seeks to explain the purpose for which Periyar worked to create a harmonious society, and how he historically assessed the culture, worship traditions, and mythology of Tamil Nadu. This study addresses the need for the development of periology as a theory from a sociological perspective. Thus, this study seeks to establish that Periyar is the one who belongs to all time.
