Karthick Ram Manoharan's Periyar: A Study in Political Atheism, published by Orient BlackSwan in 2022, is a scholarly study. Its strength is that it is a recent, focused academic treatment of Periyar E. V. Ramasamy's political atheism and the Self-Respect and Dravidian movement's challenge to brahmin religious authority. Its limit is the ordinary one for a single scholarly monograph: it is Manoharan's own reading and framing of Periyar's thought and legacy, argued from a specific interpretive angle.
