History:
PERIYAR, meaning "the venerable one" or "the elder," wasnt his birth name. He was born E.V. Ramasamy. This name, however, was earned through a lifetime of fighting against unfairness and inequality. The people of Tamil Nadu, deeply impressed by his work, began calling him PERIYAR—a title showing their respect for his impact on their lives. It wasnt an official name change; it was a natural expression of admiration for his actions. The name itself became a symbol of his fight for justice.
