Work
The work of the Dravidar Kazhagam largely centered around annihilation of caste, removing untouchability, opposing Brahminism and denouncing Hindu Gods and Goddesses, seeking to educate people on their opposition to the supernatural as well as women's liberation. Even though there some aberrations, Periyar's protests were largely symbolic and did not call for the destruction of private property or physically harm anyone, including the Brahmins. The workers of this party were often quite visible as they wore black shirts and white dhotis. The party was very much opposed to Hindi as well as all Northern traditions seen as maligning the south and its unique culture. It continues to remove astrology and other superstitions viz. numerology, palmistry, etc.
