Abstract

In this article it is aimed to bring out social reforms of E.V. Ramasamy among the Muslims of Tamilnadu and so on. It was not just the Tanjore School of Islamic Thought spearheaded by Dawood Sha, which through print media was clamoring for reforms in the Tamil Muslim society and lashing out at the Ulemas for their indifference to the state of Islam in Tamilnadu. During this period, there began another major movement that contributed in no small measure to the need for reforms in the Tamilnadu society. This movement was known as the Self-respect movement. It was founded in 1925, by E.V.Ramasamy Naicker, a high caste non-Brahmin Hindu, hailing from a wealthy merchant family of Erode in Tamilnadu.
