Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Periyar's criticism helped the National Movement gain traction. The idea originated with non-Brahmin castes who had gained access to riches, education, and power. Periyar joined the Congress but abruptly resigned after learning that seating assignments at a feast hosted by nationalists were based on caste. Periyar established the Self Respect Movement after becoming convinced that untouchables needed to fight for their dignity. Lower caste leaders' incisive writings, speeches, and movements influenced upper-caste nationalist leaders to reevaluate their positions and engage in self-criticism.
