Are you talking in the air or is there any proof to substantiate your claim? To the best of my knowledge, Periyar was only reacting to the cunningness of the Tamil brahmins. Even the cunning Dewan Sir C.P. Ramaswamy had to flee Travancore to escape from the wrath of general public as he had connived with the Britishers in supressing the freedom struggle. The Tambrams had committed all sorts of atrocities and were active partners of the Europeans (I am not a brahmin hater and do not hold any grudge against the present generation for the wrong doings of the ancestors or some of them).
