O’Shea, Chair This dissertation presents a critical examination of dance and multiple movements across the Coromandel in a pivotal period: the long eighteenth century. On the eve of British colonialism, this period was one of profound political and economic shifts; new princely states and ruling elite defined themselves in the wake of Mughal expansion and decline, weakening Nayak states in the south, the emergence of several European trading companies as political stakeholders and a series of fiscal crises. In the midst of this rapidly changing landscape, new performance paradigms emerged defined by hybrid repertoires, focus on structure and contingent relationships to space and place – giving rise to what we understand today as classical south Indian dance. Far from stable or isolated tradition fixed in space and place, I argue that dance as choreographic ii practice, theorization and representation were central to the negotiation of changing geopolitics, urban milieus and individual mobility.

  • The Absent Vedas
    The Absent Vedas Will SWEETMAN University of Otago The Vedas were first described by a European author in a text dating from the 1580s, which was subsequently copied by other authors and appeared in transla- tion in most of the major European languages in the course of the seventeenth century. It was not, however, until the 1730s that copies of the Vedas were first obtained by Europeans, even though Jesuit missionaries had been collecting Indi- an religious texts since the 1540s. I argue that the delay owes as much to the rela- tive absence of the Vedas in India—and hence to the greater practical significance for missionaries of other genres of religious literature—as to reluctance on the part of Brahmin scholars to transmit their texts to Europeans. By the early eighteenth century, a strange dichotomy was apparent in European views of the Vedas. In Europe, on the one hand, the best-informed scholars believed the Vedas to be the most ancient and authoritative of Indian religious texts and to preserve a monotheistic but secret doctrine, quite at odds with the popular worship of multiple deities. The Brahmins kept the Vedas, and kept them from those outside their caste, especially foreigners. One or more of the Vedas was said to be lost—perhaps precisely the one that contained the most sublime ideas of divinity. By the 1720s scholars in Europe had begun calling for the Vedas to be translated so that this secret doctrine could be revealed, and from the royal library in Paris a search for the texts of the Vedas was launched.

  • Sri Annamacharya - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Sri Annamacharya - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Sri Annamacharya(9 May 1408 – 23 February 1503) Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya (Telugu: ???? ???????? ???????????) (or Annamayya) was the official songmaster of the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, and a Telugu composer who composed around 36000 keertana songs, many of which were in praise of Venkateswara, the presiding deity of the temple. The musical form of the keertana songs that he composed have strongly influenced the structure of Carnatic music compositions, which are still popular among Carnatic music concert artists. Sri Annamacharya is remembered for his saintly life, and is honoured as a great Bhakta/devotee of Bhagwaan Govinda by devotees and saintly singers. He is believed to have been the reincarnation of the precious sword of lord Vishnu ( Nandakam ). He is widely regarded as the Pada-kavita Pitaamaha (grand old man of song-writing) of the Telugu language. <b>Personal Life</b> Annamacharya was born on Vaisakha Suddha Pournami in the year Sarwadhari in Tallapaka, a village in current day Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh, India. His wife, Thimmakka, had written Subhadra Kalyanam, and is considered the first female poet in Telugu literature. He was born into a Telugu Brahmin family. Their son, Pedda Tirumalacharya, and grandson, Tallapaka Chinnayya, were also composers and poets. The Tallapaka compositions are considered to have dominated and influenced the structure of Carnatic music compositions. Annamacharya lived for 94 years until Phalguna Bahula Dwadasi (12th day after full moon) in the year Dhundhubhi. <b>Literary Career</b> Annamacharya is said to have composed as many as 36,000 sankeertanas (songs) on Bhagwaan Govinda Venkateswara, of which only about 12,000 are available today.

  • The Artifice of Brahmin Masculinity in South Indian Dance
    5 Longing to Dance Stories of Kuchipudi Brahmin Women The Hyderabad-based Kuchipudi dance teacher Balatripurasundari learned to dance in secret. As the youngest daughter of internationally acclaimed Kuchipudi dance guru Vempati Chinna Satyam, Baliakka (as she is commonly called) was never encouraged by her father to dance. In fact, she was overtly discouraged from dancing on the basis that it might diminish her marriage prospects in the future and cause unnecessary hardships. Nonetheless, Baliakka learned by watching her father train hundreds of girls in his Madras-based dance institution, the Kuchipudi Art Academy (KAA). Likening herself to Ekalavya, the outcast student of Drona from the epic Mahābhārata, who learned archery in secret, Baliakka would sneak into the back of her father’s dance classroom, practice facial expressions in front of the bathroom mirror, and fashion Kuchipudi gestures (mudras) underneath her blanket at night. Baliakka longed to dance like the other girls at her father’s dance school, but her desire never won her father’s approval because, according to Kuchipudi sāmpradāyam (tradition), brahmin girls from the Kuchipudi village cannot and do not dance. This chapter focuses on the narratives of brahmin women belonging to heredi- tary Kuchipudi village families who have been overtly excluded from the embod- ied labor of performance. Unlike the brahmin men of the Kuchipudi village who are all associated with dance in some capacity, Kuchipudi brahmin women have no such performative roles to play. Kuchipudi brahmin women’s bodies are deemed unsuitable for the labor of Indian dance and are, therefore, proscribed from the “sweat, blood, tears, slipping or stained saris, callused feet, missteps, or familiar gestures” that dance entails (Srinivasan 2012, 8).

Since the late 19th century, members of this caste, and a few others from Tamil-speaking areas, have been choosing to convert to Buddhism based on conscience and conviction. This phenomenon of religious conversion-social transformation is this study’s focus. By combining archival research of Parayar’s writings among Tamil Buddhists, as these Parayar, settled in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, are called, I have attempted to understand this movement ethno-historically. In pre-colonial times, though the sub-continent’s societies were hierarchical, the hierarchies were fluid and varied: i.e., the high-low or self-other dichotomies were neither fixed nor based on a single principle. The most significant effect of the encounter of British Colonialism and India was to precipitate an unprecedented master-dichotomy of singular and absolute form of self and other, as colonizer and the colonized. This had three consequences. (a) India was itself seen as singular and served as the Self to the colonial Other in an absolute dichotomy; (b) the role of essentializing the Indian Self was assumed by the brahmin; (c) this in turn resulted in an internal dichotomy between the—brahmin—essential self and the—non- brahmin—non-essential other.

Manohar Reddy Assistant Professor, NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad,Telangana,India ___________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: In this essay, I have tried to show that dictionary production in British India was not an “objective” and “neutral” exercise as it is generally understood to be but was directly connected with the perpetuation of colonial rule in India. The colonial state required to introduce new words to its subjects in the fields of education, law, administration, and so on, so that state could govern them efficiently. Thus, the English-Telugu dictionary produced by the Charles Philip Brown was instrumental in this hegemonic project. However, I will also try to show that the dictionary had to be structured in such a way that the difference between the rulers and subjects was explained. Since, Brown employed Brahmin pundits to compile the dictionary, it appears that their caste prejudices against muslims and the lower castes have crept in. Therefore, the question of representation becomes important. These issues have been analyzed through some selected words and the meanings assigned to them. However, English words were not
