The correct answer is Option 1- E.V. Ramaswamy Naicker

E.V. Ramaswamy Naicker, commonly known as Periyar, founded the Self-Respect Movement in 1925. The movement was a social reform movement aimed at achieving a society in which oppressed castes have equal human rights, and encouraging backward castes to have self-respect in the context of a caste-based society that considered them to be a lower end of the hierarchy.

The Self-Respect Movement was a radical movement that challenged the traditional Hindu social order. Periyar was a vocal critic of the caste system and Brahmanism. He advocated for social equality, women's rights, and religious freedom.

The Self-Respect Movement had a significant impact on Tamil society. It helped to raise the consciousness of the oppressed castes and to challenge the hegemony of the Brahmins. The movement also played a role in the development of Dravidian politics in Tamil Nadu.
