- When your lord Muruga marries out of the caste,
Why do you hate when a Hindu engages in intercaste marriage?

Resistance to caste-hierarchy in the ‘temple entry movement’ in Malaya was inspired by political developments in #India. The popular rhetoric around the temple entry movement dates back to 1929, when #Periyar, one of the central ideologues of the Dravidian movement, visited Malaya. In 1933, the Queen Street Maha Mariamman Temple became the first in #Malaysia to open its doors to the Dalits and “lower” castes. By Vignesh Karthik KR & Jeyannathann Karunanithi

If larger country oppresses a smaller country,I’ll stand with smaller country
If smaller country has Majoritarian Religion which oppresses minority religions,I’ll stand with Minority religion
If minority religion has caste & one caste oppresses another caste,I’ll stand with caste being oppressed
In oppressed caste if an employer oppresses his employee,I’ll stand with employee
If employee goes Home & oppresses his wife,I’ll stand with that woman
Overall oppression is my enemy
