The Self-Respect Movement was founded in 1925 by E. V. Ramasamy Naicker, popularly known as Periyar, in Tamil Nadu (then Madras Presidency). It aimed at: Promoting social equality. Opposing Brahminical dominance and caste-based discrimination. Advocating rationalism, women’s rights, and anti-superstition. It was one of the earliest non-Brahmin movements in India and later evolved into the Dravidian movement.
