  • Tamil Takes Centre Stage: Tradition and Modernity in Indian Television
    Tamil Takes Centre Stage: Tradition and Modernity in Indian Television By Sunitha Chitrapu Abstract This paper draws attention to the role of language in mediated modernities in In- dia through an analysis of Sirappu Pattimandram (Special Debate), a Tamil-langu- age debate show on the politically-affiliated corporate Sun TV network in the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India. The show provides an opportunity for the arti- culation of anxieties over how social and economic changes affect the private lives of Tamil speakers. These anxieties are contained through the use of Tamil-langua- ge oratory which recasts quotidian everyday problems in an ancient literary idiom that provides reassurance through imagined continuity with a glorious past. Key words: modernities, India, television, oratory, Tamil, invented traditions Chitrapu, Sunitha: “Tamil Takes Centre Stage: Tradition and Modernity in Indian Television”, Culture Unbound, Volume 10, issue 3, 2018: 353–366. Published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.cultureunbound.ep.liu.se Culture Unbound Journal of Current Cultural Research Introduction In the closing remarks of the Independence Day 2017 episode of Tamil TV show Sirappu Pattimandram (Special Debate), the moderator Professor Solomon Pap- paiah says, “Puram kettru ponal, akamum kettru pokum. Arasiyal maattrankal, poruladhara maattrankal evai ellam serndhu samūhathai maattri iruki- rathu. Enakkullum prachanai, en naatukullum prachanai.” (“When my outer world is ruined, so is my inner world. Political and economic shifts have changed society. I am facing difficulties, my state is facing difficulties.”) While this is a sentiment that may be universal, it is presented in the Sirappu Patti- mandram show in uniquely Tamil terms, using the ancient literary tropes of akam (interior) and puram (exterior), presenting a performance of Tamilness for the audiences and building a community with other Tamil speakers.
