Periyarism: The Third Bloc

OTL, Erode Venkata Ramasamy, common known as "Periyar" was a Dravida activist disillusioned with the Indian National Congress's favoring of the Brahmins. This timeline shows this man going on an alternate path, radicalizing, creating his own political ideology, and ultimately creating a third political bloc.

Point of Divergence
In 1925, Ramasamy begins to seriously study Communism. He ultimately decides not to adopt the Ideology itself, but to incorporate elements into his own ideology that he begins to write. In 1930, he publishes Periyarism: A Thesis on the Third World's Future. He distributes it to the literate Dravidian populace in India, and this changes the history of mankind forever.
