The Ramayana
Book • 1972
In this work, Periyar E.V.
Ramasamy interprets the Ramayana as a narrative that reflects the political and social domination of Dravidians by Aryans.
He argues that the epic is a tool used to justify and perpetuate the oppression of non-Brahmin communities.
This interpretation is part of his broader critique of Hinduism and the caste system, aiming to awaken South Indians to their historical and ongoing oppression.
