Father Periyar was a clear cut vestibule of the church. the Aryan Dravidian divide was enforced by the rulers , British to be precise, with the church acting on the propaganda wheel wagon. Now genetics has disproved this theory. It is just that the West could not accept that Indian phiolosophy has depth and intellect that this theory was proposed. Karunalessnidhi and his ilk are followers of the same theory. Just going to some church function and saying that God exists is trying to fool the people. All know the DK , DMK and the K tactics. It wont work now.
