Periyar-Anna, the two ideologues of Dravidian Movement laid down firm ideological foundations for equality of all human beings and carrying forward a progressive

rationalist global vision. Arignar Anna spelt out those noble ideals

in the Annamalai University convocation address.

“A world without beggar's

outstretched palm, the miser's heartless stony stare, the piteous

wail of want, the pallid face of crime, the livid lips of lies, the cruel

eyes of scorn, a race without disease of flesh or brain, a land

where life lengthens, fear dies, joy deepens, love intensifies and man

regains his dignity” is what Arignar Anna dreamt of and Annaism

stands for.
