In May, out of 745 samples, 83.4% were found to have the Del­ ta variant, which was first found in India, according to Delhi government data shared with The Hindu. The Delta variant be­ came dominant in April (55% of 1,967 samples) when the city witnessed a deadly second wave and the daily new cases were re­ ported as high as 28,000. Also, the percentage of Alpha variant of the virus, first found in the U.K. and a dominant strain in the city earlier, fell from 47.4% in March to just 3.3% in June. “The Delta variant is the dominant strain of the virus in Delhi at this moment. It has seen a steady rise in the past few months. Also, till now, there is no Delta Plus variant of the virus reported here,” a Delhi government official said. Results of more samples from June are awaited, the official said. The data is based on ge­ nome sequencing of COVID positive blood samples from Delhi by the National Centre for Disease Control. “The data show that the second wave in Delhi was in a way due to the Delta var­ iant. This variant is highly infectious and that’s why Delhi registered a sudden spike in cases,” said Jugal Kishore, head of Communi­ ty Medicine Department, Safdarjung Hospital. He said a similar trend was ob­ served in several other States as well. “Now the percentage of Delta variant may fall and another variant could be­ come dominant.

  • History of Tamil Society
    History, Culture, Heritage and Socio-Political Movements in Tamil Nadu History of Tamil Society INTRODUCTION Tamil civilization, as we have seen, begins atleast three centuries before the Common Era (CE). As seafaring people, Tamil traders and sailors established commercial and cultural links across the seas and merchants from foreign territories also visited the Tamil region. The resulting cultural and mercantile activities and internal developments led to urbanization in this region. Towns and ports emerged. Coins and currency came into circulation. Written documents were produced. The TamilBrahmi script was adopted to write the Tamil language. Classical Tamil poems were composed. Sources for the study of early Tamil society The sources for reconstructing the history of the ancient Tamils are: 1. Classical Tamil literature 2. Epigraphy (inscriptions) 3. Archaeological excavations and material culture 4. Non-Tamil and Foreign Literature The Classical Sangam Tamil Literature The Classical Sangam corpus (collection) consists of the Tholkappiyam, the Pathinen Melkanakku(18 Major works) and the Pathinen Kilkanakku(18 minor works) and the five epics. Tholkappiyam Tholkappiyam, attributed to Tholkappiyar, is the earliest written work on Tamil grammar. 1 History, Culture, Heritage and Socio-Political Movements in Tamil Nadu Apart from elaborating the rules of grammar, the third section of Tholkappiyam also describes poetic conventions that provide information on Tamil social life.

In Perennial Oppression: Internalized Ideologies of the Devadasis By K.A.Geetha1 Abstract The Madras Anti-Devadasi Act was passed in 1947 with the primary objective of liberating women from the oppressive norms of the Devadasi system. Sanctioned by religion, the institutionalization of the Devadasi system within the Hindu community legitimated women from certain caste groups to become ‘servants of god’. Through ritualistic norms, the Devadasis were wedded to God and the caste Hindu patriarchs were authorized to control the sexuality of the Devadasis. Given their vulnerable status in terms of caste, class, and gender, women from the castes lower in hierarchy were forced into the system.

On the one hand, various perceptions of them in the colonial period converged in a strong disapproval and condemnation of their moral conduct. On the other hand, both in the colonial period and, more importantly, in post-colonial scholarship, the fact that some of these women were performing artistes of repute provided the ground for a feminist resurrection that separated them from those that did not belong to these privileged traditions and placed them in a newly created space that redefined and respected their freedom, autonomy and creativity.
