Abstract According to the social reform in Periyar civilization development, inventions, discovery, social transformations, cultural revolutions, protections, wars, peace-exchanges, technological innovations, agricultural developments, space, the hidden humans behind the developments are always to be remembered and socialized to the upcoming budding generations. Women movements in India worked in two phase's primary women upliftment and second fight for equal rights for men and women. By studying a variety of historical documents which touch upon the Indian Women's movement a comparative perspective will come to make a modest contribution towards the construction of propositions on feminist movements in India. Through this paper, my main objective will be to research women movements from all dimensions and by going through different ideological socio-religious reform movements of nineteenth and twentieth century in India and to study women as a subject and issue. My paper will also include how women issues remained inseparable in social reform movements during to that Periyar’s efforts on social justice.
