The Poetry with Prakriti Festival (2014) The Poetry with Prakriti Festival (2014) About Poetry Festival 2014 ‘Poetry with Prakriti’ is an annual festival featuring 25 eminent and emerging poets, each presenting four different readings of their poems to small, intimate audiences at several venues across the city – schools, colleges, cafes, IT parks, green public parks, shops, galleries, boutiques, banks and other commercial establishments. The festival is scheduled everywhere, to coincide with the famed ‘Chennai Season’. The aim of the Poetry with Prakriti festival is to get poets from varied backgrounds to read and share their poetry in various languages at different locations across the city. This allows multiple groups of people to enjoy creative expression rendered through poetry. Over the years, we have presented 200 poets from across India, and from countries such as Spain, France, Canada, U.K, Denmark, Switzerland and the U.S.A. This festival has featured poets such as Keki N.Daruwalla, Charles Stein (USA), Arundhathi Subramaniam, Denis Mai R(USA), Sudeep Sen, Priya Sarukkai Chabria, Bina Sarkar Ellias, Anne-Marie Kenessey (Switzerland) Kalki Subramaniam, Parvathi Nayar, Renuka Narayan, Anupama Raju, Jeremy Woodruff, Raghavendra Madhu, to name a few. As part of the festival, a Poetry Slam Contest has been conducted in the past. The top three poems are awarded cash prizes. The 8th edition of Poetry with Prakriti Festival was presented by The Hindu Lit for Life 2015 as a precursor to the literary festival.

    Editors’ Note Teachers in charge: Mrs. Jyotsna Khanna Mrs. Jhimli Mitra Mrs. Aruna Madhusudan Front cover credits: Sakshi Dey Back cover credits: Sanjana Unni Divya Rangarajan Aakarsh Kankaria Our city went from the Chennai floods to the Chennai drought in two years. The contradiction is appalling and there is no one to blame but ourselves. We have been taking this resource for granted for far too long and its implications are now upon us. Being residents of Chennai, we felt the need to spread awareness on this issue. That was the primary reason for choosing this theme-Where’s My Water? People seem to remember this problem for one week but forget it in the next. We realized that we needed to communicate the message in a different manner. Thereby, we decided to talk about the benefits of water, reminding everyone of the abundant resources that water provides us with and why we need to conserve it. In this edition of Newsish, we have addressed the various facets of water including movies, wars, sunken ships and cities, lost treasures, wonders, machines, sports, and religious aspects. We would like to thank Omana Ma’am and all the teachers involved for giving us the opportunity to make this an E-Magazine. The idea behind opting for an online magazine was to put an end to the large amount of paper wastage we were incurring by publishing a printed edition.

  • Love Meets Death: “Honour,” Violence, and Inter-Caste Marriages in Tamil Nadu
    Love Meets Death: “Honour,” Violence, and Inter-caste Marriages in Tamil Nadu Perundevi Srinivasan* Introduction The decapitated body of a young man was found on a railway track near Pallipalayam village in Namakkal district, Tamil Nadu on June 24, 2015. The young man was identified as Gokulraj, a twenty-two-year-old engi- neering graduate from a Dalit caste (Paraiyar) from nearby Omalur in Salem district. Though it was initially speculated that he might have been run over by a train, post-mortem reports revealed that he had suffered multiple injuries prior to his death. The circumstances leading to this murder eventually became public. As the media reported it, Yuvaraj, the founder of Dheeran Chinnamalai Peravai, an outfit serving the “interests” of the Kongu Vellala Kavundar (hereafter, I will refer to it as Kavundar) caste, was allegedly involved in the murder.1 Yuvaraj and his accomplices, who belong to the caste outfit, are said to have abducted Gokulraj from the famous Siva-Ardhanariswarar temple, located at the top of a hillock in Tiruchengode, when they saw him along with his lover (kātali), a girl named Swathi of the Kavundar caste. The abduction was recorded by the temple’s CCTV camera and was subsequently listed as police evidence against the perpetrators. According to the police, the group took Gokulraj to a secluded place, murdered him, and dumped him on the railway track. The violence Dalit men face when they become romantically involved with or marry non-Dalit women from members of dominant caste groups is not entirely new to Tamil Nadu.

Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu is located in the South East of India and lies at a mere 6.7m above mean sea level. Chennai is in a vulnerable location due to storm surges as well as tropical cyclones that bring about heavy rains and yearly floods. The 2004 Tsunami greatly affected the coast, and rapid urbanization, accompanied by the reduction in the natural drain capacity of the ground caused by encroachments on marshes, wetlands and other ecologically sensitive and permeable areas has contributed to repeat flood events in the city. Channelized rivers and canals contaminated through the presence of informal settlements and garbage has exasperated the situation. Natural and man-made water infrastructures that include, monsoon water harvesting and storage systems such as the Temple tanks and reservoirs have been polluted, and have fallen into disuse.

  • Catholic Shrines in Chennai, India: the Politics of Renewal and Apostolic Legacy
    CATHOLIC SHRINES IN CHENNAI, INDIA: THE POLITICS OF RENEWAL AND APOSTOLIC LEGACY BY THOMAS CHARLES NAGY A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies Victoria University of Wellington (2014) Abstract This thesis investigates the phenomenon of Catholic renewal in India by focussing on various Roman Catholic churches and shrines located in Chennai, a large city in South India where activities concerning saintal revival and shrinal development have taken place in the recent past. The thesis tracks the changing local significance of St. Thomas the Apostle, who according to local legend, was martyred and buried in Chennai. In particular, it details the efforts of the Church hierarchy in Chennai to bring about a revival of devotion to St. Thomas. In doing this, it covers a wide range of issues pertinent to the study of contemporary Indian Christianity, such as Indian Catholic identity, Indian Christian indigeneity and Hindu nationalism, as well as the marketing of St. Thomas and Catholicism within South India. The thesis argues that the Roman Catholic renewal and ―revival‖ of St. Thomas in Chennai is largely a Church-driven hierarchal movement that was specifically initiated for the purpose of Catholic evangelization and missionization in India. Furthermore, it is clear that the local Church‘s strategy of shrinal development and marketing encompasses Catholic parishes and shrines throughout Chennai‘s metropolitan area, and thus, is not just limited to those sites associated with St. Thomas‘s Apostolic legacy. i Acknowledgements This thesis is dedicated to the memory of my father Richard M.
