Despite the constitutional safeguards, Dalits and religious minorities continue to face discrimination, violence and social exclusion, making social justice an elusive goal. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar and E. V. Ramasamy Periyar (hereafter referred to Periyar) promoted the idea of self-respect, arguing that it is crucial for social cohesion and the realization of social justice. Drawing on recent cases of hate crimes reported in Tamil Nadu, this study examines the complexities of caste dynamics and the emergence of religious intolerance in contemporary times. It argues that rejuvenating the concept of self-respect offers a transformative pathway toward achieving social justice. It also offers a few constructive possibilities to strengthen the application of self-respect in the pursuit of social justice. It concludes by highlighting the scope for a scholarly engagement on the idea of self-respect and exploring it as a broader, emancipatory framework for social justice beyond the socio-political context of Tamil Nadu. , Copyright Taylor &amp; Francis Group, LLC.
