On the continuation of Thararaj and few others contributions, I have posted more informations to this article about Thirumavalavan. As per rules and guidlines of Wikipedia, I have put my insertions within a limit of Neutrality.
He (Thirumavalavan) is a wellknown personality in Tamil Nadu, for his uncompromised struggles against cast system in Hindu Society. In his earlier days, he was sticking with his principle of Non-Election campaigns and struggles. Later changes his way and participating in Election Politics since 1999.
As we trying to know about him and his movement, we are in the move of knowing about descriminations of human being by their birth, labour, race, etc.
If you know a bit about him, please don't forget to put it. (Be unbiosed) Velkumart (talk) 21:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

"Thol."? edit
What is 'Thol' and why does it have a full stop (.) after it? If it's an honorific or title of some sort, then perhaps it could be wikilinked or otherwise clarified. If it's the abbreviated form of a name, then it should probably be spelled out in full at least once. As it stands, it's confusing IMO. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:55, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
- DoubleGrazing, it's neither. It's an abbreviated form of his father's name which acts as the initials of his name. It shouldn't be spelled out in full since it's never used in full in his name. Tayi Arajakate Talk 10:11, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Tayi Arajakate: Okay, thanks for helping me understand that. :) I'll remove the clarify tag, and maybe add an explanatory note to that effect. Cheers, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:23, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
