Extracts from “Periyar on Islam”

“Day by day people are changing; the changing times also facilitate this….Generally speaking life is self-centred. Moreover man makes continuous efforts in the direction of improvement of his own life, security and comforts and in all aspects….As far as Iam concerned, I consider Mohammad Nabi as a special man with all the qualities of a human being and not of a status said to be higher than that.”
