Ramasamy 'Periyar' launched a revolution against social injustice by foregrounding the demand for 'self-respect' among lower castes and women. An uncompromising nonconformist, he built the Self-Respect Movement by transforming non-Brahmin aspirations into a radical, relentless campaign against caste, superstition and Brahminical privilege. This unique volume brings together his speeches at caste association meetings and 'caste abolition' conferences he was invited to, spanning the decades from the 1920s to the early 1970s gatherings that drew thousands across the Madras Presidency and what later became Tamil Nadu. Far from being paradoxical, Periyar's decision to confront caste from within its own forums was a bold and unprecedented strategy to expose myths, dismantle hierarchies and demand self-respect. Here you meet a thinker who refused to worship nation or deity, who trashed the pieties of Gandhian 'village republics' and warned that British Raj would simply give way to Brahmin Raj.

Lucidly translated and with a comprehensive introduction to Periyar, locating and contextualising his thought and struggles, Caste and the Crisis of Dignity recovers the voice of a movement that treated self-respect as the foundation of democracy and equality.
