Bharathidasan was an ardent follower of Periyar and a staunch supporter of his Self-Respect movement. He believed in the equality of humans and opposed any discrimination on the basis of the parental clan. The social discriminations, Bharathidasan, believed were promoted by religious fundamentalism. He requested his readers to develop self-confidence and self-respect and not to give room for superstitions. He exhorts them to create a new world where there is no social or religious discrmination nor any superstitions, and would call that world as the ‘World of Self-Respect’. The new world will be a world of an egalitarian society where there will be no individual ownership.
