The correct answer is: d) Periyar.<\/p>\n
Periyar, also known as E. V. Ramasamy, was a social reformer and independence activist who led the Salt Satyagraha of 1930 in Tamil Nadu. The Salt Satyagraha was a major turning point in the Indian independence movement, and it had a significant impact on Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\n
Periyar was born in 1879 in Erode, Tamil Nadu. He was a lawyer by training, but he became involved in social reform after witnessing the discrimination faced by lower castes and women. He founded the Self-Respect Movement in 1925, which campaigned for social equality and women’s rights.<\/p>\n
In 1930, Periyar led the Salt Satyagraha in Tamil Nadu. The Salt Satyagraha was a nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly. The British government had a monopoly on the production of salt, and they taxed it heavily. This made it difficult for poor people to afford salt, which is a basic necessity.<\/p>\n
Periyar and his followers marched to the coastal town of Vedaranyam, where they made salt from seawater in defiance of the British law. The Salt Satyagraha was a major success, and it helped to galvanize support for the Indian independence movement.<\/p>\n
Periyar continued to be a leading figure in the Indian independence movement, and he played a key role in the formation of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party in 1949. The DMK is a regional political party in Tamil Nadu, and it is one of the major parties in the Indian National Congress.<\/p>\n
Periyar died in 1973, but his legacy continues to live on. He is remembered as a great social reformer and independence activist. He is also remembered as a controversial figure, due to his views on caste and religion. However, there is no doubt that he was a major figure in the history of Tamil Nadu and India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
