Ramananpi

These comments can be raised in the Periyar page with citations not in the Periyar University Page .If for example you want to write about Indira Gandhi's emergency it should be written in Indira Gandhi's page not in the IGNOU page.This is a government university and named by the Tamil Nadu government.

The university is named after E. V. Ramaswami Naicker, a controversial politician and social reformer referred to by his followers as "Periyar" (elder one). It is not clear whether Periyar University adheres to the anti-Brahmin, anti-Hindu, and anti-India principles taught by EVR. EVR was opposed to independence for India, and wanted the British to continue ruling India. He also desecrated Hindu idols by garlanding them with footwear.

Calling EVR as "Great Social Reformer" is expressing a point of view. He can be called "social activist" or "controversial social activist" at best.
