Recently, a Tamil movie titled Periyar was released. It's about E.V. Ramasamy, an atheist and founder of self-respect movement in India. The movie briefly go through Periyar's life story and also captured some significant event's happened during his time.Although his principles might offend major population of the world, I personally find it very relevant for todays world. I realise that people today slowly slipping their rationality away and gripping tight on something which might be not relevant at all in todays world.
I admire the way Periyar approached his challanged at his time....it would only take someone with great will power and firm stand on his principles to achive what Periyar has achived and contributed to the world today. These values are now scarce among the leaders of the world.

"Do not follow anything just because some one else has said it. Do not slavishly sell your conscience to others. Analyse and inquire into every thing." - Periyar E.V. Ramasamy.
