The status of discrimination in Tamilnadu, particularly on Dalit youth has gradually been increasing. We should admit that India has its prominence in higher education in Post- Independence. The question is whether education ingrained the thoughts of the students / people. The caste hindus would defy that they treat everyone equally. There was a study conducted by National Dalit Movement for Justice. The study says across India this discrimination, abuses, harassment prevails in the states like Andra Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkand, Maharastra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamilnadu and U.P. The intent of this paper is to expressing my panoramic view on Mari Selvaraj’s Pariyerum Perumal, B.A.,B.L., - The protagonist of the drama Pariyerum Perumal (a) Pariyan –which means God on Horse ( Kathir) has given his best as a youth Dalit who has been aimed at pursuing Law, which is the only weapon to stand against discrimination, harassment and honor killing.
