Key Points

South Indian Liberation Front:

On November 20, 1916, around 30 prominent non-Brahmin leaders including Dr. Natesa Mudaliyar, Sir PT Theyagaraya Chetty, T. M. Nair, and a woman Alamelu Mangai Thayarammal came together to form the South Indian Liberation Federation (SILF) which would popularly be called Justice Party after the ‘Justice’ newspaper it launched to propagate the ideals of the movement.
The meeting took place in the historic Victoria public hall.
We now remember those leaders as a street (Nair street), a park (Natesan park), and a neighborhood (T Nagar) in Chennai.
Periyar was elected as the leader of the Justice party in 1938.
In 1944, Justice Party along with the Self Respect movement was rechristened as Dravidar Kazhagam and the rest.
