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. The texts of Pathinen Melkanakku include Pathupaattu(ten long -
Circulating Voices: the Gendered Beginnings of Playback
Circulating Voices: The Gendered Beginnings of Playback * Amanda Weidman Introduction In November 1944, in his regular column entitled “This Month’s Star,” film magazine editor P. R. S. Gopal ended his brief feature on the singing actress N. C. Vasanthakokilam with a prediction. Praising Vasantha- gokilam’s classically trained singing voice and capable acting, he wrote that, “even though she hasn’t been given many songs, the ones she has sung are sweet. One may say that her name will rise very quickly. Because of her acting skill and good training, viewers soon will forget that her face is only so-so.” Accompanied by a photo of Vasanthakokilam seated on a bench in a casually draped sari, hands folded in a homely pose, the feature encapsulated a dominant value of these years: that being a film actor or actress meant being a singing star. The ability to sing was the first requirement for appearing onscreen; appearance and their acting skill were less important. The non-glamorous “off-screen” pose of this photo was designed to highlight Vasanthagokilam’s singing ability, rather than her physical allure (Pēcum Paṭam November 1944:18–19). But Gopal’s prediction did not come true. Not only did Vasantha- kokilam pass away from tuberculosis in 1951 at the age of 30, but even if she had lived, it is unlikely that her acting career would have continued much into the 1950s. Viewers did not forget about female beauty; indeed, even as the norm of singing actors and actresses persisted, actresses were increasingly discussed in terms of alaku (‘beauty’). -
Catching a Sport by Its Horns
Daily English Vocab PDF 22nd Jan 2017 Catching a sport by its horns Irrespective of the legislative, judicial or political outcome, there is no doubt that pro-jallikattu protesters have won the day. But this triumphal moment also calls for introspection (आ配मनिरीक्षण) The Tamil word for ox and cattle, ‘maadu’, also means wealth. As the great book of wisdom, the Tirukkural, emphatically asserts, education is the real ‘maadu’. As the unprecedented mass uprising in Tamil Nadu unfolds, jallikattu, the sport of taming the bull, has now become a symbol of Tamil pride and identity. How did a sport with origins in a pastoral world capture the imagination of a vast and differentiated linguistic community and become its symbol? Since Sangam literature In the extraordinary body of poetry, termed as Sangam literature, is a text called Kalithokai . In five long poems, totalling over 300 breath-taking lines, it provides the first elaborate description of this ancient sport. Though there is evidence in ancient rock art of forms of this sport, it is only in modern Tamil literary prose writing that we find extended descriptions of jallikattu. The pioneer was B.R. Rajam Aiyar, the great vedantin and disciple (निष्य/अिुयायी) of Swami Vivekananda. His Tamil novel, Kamalambal Charithiram (English translation:The Fatal Rumour , Oxford University Press), written in 1893, depicts the celebration accompanying the sport with men and women turning up in huge numbers. Rajam Aiyar also records technical terms associated with this sport. Kothamangalam Subbu (‘Kalaimani’) is now largely known for his novel Thillana Mohanambal , later made into the eponymous ((of a person) giving their name to something.) film starring Sivaji Ganesan and Padmini. -
Poets and Pancakes/57
About the author Asokamitran (1931), a Tamil writer, recounts his years at Gemini Studios in his book My Years with Boss which talks of the influence of movies on every aspect of life in India. The Gemini Studios, located in Chennai, was set up in 1940. It was one of the most influential film- producing organisations of India in the early days of Indian film-making. Its founder was S.S. Vasan. The duty of Asokamitran in Gemini Studios was to cut out newspaper clippings on a wide variety of subjects and store them in files. Many of these had to be written out by hand. Although he performed an insignificant function he was the most well-informed of all the members of the Gemini family. The following is an excerpt from his book My Years with Boss. Notice these words and expressions in the text. Infer their meaning from the context. Pancake was the brand name of the make-up material that Gemini Studios bought in truck-loads. Greta Garbo1 must have used it, Miss Gohar must have used it, Vyjayantimala2 must also have used it but Rati Agnihotri may not have even heard of it. The make-up department of the Gemini Studios was in the upstairs of a building that was believed to have been Robert Clive’s stables. A dozen other buildings 1.

In Amanda Weidman’s historical and ethnographic account, playback is not just a cinematic technique, but a powerful and ubiquitous element of aural public culture that has shaped the complex dynamics of postcolonial gendered subjectivity, politicized ethnolin- guistic identity, and neoliberal transformation in South India.
