Ideological Foundations
Ambedkarism - Our Guiding Light
VCK is firmly rooted in Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's philosophy of liberty, equality, and fraternity. We follow his teachings on caste annihilation, constitutional methods of protest, and the importance of political power for social transformation.
Ambedkar's vision of an egalitarian society, his emphasis on education as the key to empowerment, and his commitment to social justice through constitutional safeguards form the core of VCK's ideology and political practice.
Periyar's Rationalism & Self-Respect
We embrace Periyar E.V. Ramasamy's rationalist philosophy and his Self-Respect Movement. His fight against Brahminical supremacy, religious orthodoxy, and superstitions inspires our struggle for social transformation in Tamil Nadu.
Periyar's advocacy for women's rights, social equality, and his challenge to caste hierarchies through the Self-Respect Movement continue to guide VCK's approach to social reform and political mobilization.
