In the home town of K.Kamarajar then known as Virudhupatty was the fort of Justice Party followers who spread the message of Self Rspect among the downtrodden but wealthy Nadar community. The Virudhunagar hosted the 3rd self respect coference and first women Self respect conference with total success with the support of the affluent Merchant community of the town and neighbourhood towns. When young Kamarjar, who was penniless as he was not involved in any business, but was attracted by Congress Movement, and he faced repeated antagonism within his own wealthy community members in home town for about 2 decades. He had to undergo through insults such as Veshti stripping, threat to his life by Justice Party stronghold areas at Virudhunagar, Pattiveeranpatti etc.

Pasumpon Muthuramaliga Thever was responsible for developing a strong base for Congress Movement in South Tamilnadu during 1930s and 1940s. At Virudhunagar too, Pasumpon Thevar ensured he provided great moral support to Kamarajar's actions for development of Congress party whenever required till 1937 when Kamarajar was given a prominent place in Congress Party with support of Thevar. However Thevar was later influenced by Netaji Subash Chandra Bose and slowly drifted towards the ideals of Forward Block. During !940s and 1950 Kamaraj was wrongly projected as antagonist towards Thevar as both were working in different ideologies, but they fail to note that it was Thevar's initial support that developed Kamarajar's skills and clout in Congress.

It was a single youth Kamarajar's efforts to slowly spread the message of Nationalism to develop the movement for Congress after the Temple Entry Movement allowing Nadars to emples in 1939 in the dravidian heartland and slowly win over the people of Tamilnadu between the after 1937 to bring the downtrodden community people in the national mainstream.

If the Justice Party could fill the political vacuum and use its own presence to ensure equality in education and employment for the non-brahmin upper castes, `Periyar necessarily had to demythify the social status of the brahmins drawn mainly from religious edicts. The intermediary castes and the harijans, the later-day backwardsand the scheduled castes respectively to whom education and hence, non-farming, formal employment were alien, were left mostly untouched.

It was thus left to `Periyar E V Ramaswami Naicker to take the non-brahmin movement to the masses for social revolution, a decade and a half after Gandhi had succeeded in doing so with the Congress movement
