It now spans the period mid-November to the middle of January, signing off with the end of the Pongal festivities. And then there’s the Tourist Fair. With the weather being tolerable at this time of the year in our city, it has become a season for tourists and NRIs as well. All this makes it an ideal festival package to market and it is heartening to see that the Chief Minister, during her inaugural speech at the Music Academy’s festival, has called on the organisation to come up with plans to make this a world-class festival and promised all help from the Government’s side.

  • Battlefield Through Bird Sanctuary - the Pulicat Lake
    Battlefield through Bird Sanctuary - the Pulicat Lake Vaithiyanathan Kannan Research Scholar Research Department of Zoology and Wildlife Biology, A.V.C. College (Autonomous), Mayiladuthurai, Mannampandal 605 309, India Email: [email protected] Pulicat Lake was most popular busy town right from the 6 th to 13 th century A.D. The existence of Pulicat can be traced back from the Cholas. Pulicat has evolved into an urban centre and the successive stages of evolution of pulicat can be classified in to Chola period (until 13 th century A.D.), Nayak period (14 th to 16 th century A.D), Colonial period (17 th century to 1947 A.D.) and Post Independence period. Chola and Nayak Period Pulicat was under the Imperial Cholas who first built temple at Thiruppalaivanam near Pulicat. The Cholas divided their territories into kottams (presently called district). Pulicat was referred to as Payyar Kottam, Puliyur Kottam and Pular Kottam. Veeran Thirubuvana Chakravarthy ruled the Puliyur Kottam. Latter on during the Nayak period the Vijayanagar kingdom was founded in 1336 A.D., which became a dominant force in Tamil Nadu where Viswanath Nayak was ruling Madurai in 1529. Under the Nayaks the Vijayanagar kingdom was frequently waged war against the native Tamil rulers and brought the entire land under their control. Due to the conflicts within the Nayak groups which enabled the sultans of Bijapur and Golconda to penetrate the Tamil Country. The battle of Thalaikotta (1565) enabled the sultans to capture some regions of the Vijayanagar kingdom and thus pulicat came under their rule. In 1572, Thirumalai Nayak, who had been vassal of the sultan, divided his kingdom into three parts, one of which was given to Venkatapathi who ruled it from Chandragiri as his capital.

  • Aesthetics As Resistance: Rasa, Dhvani, and Empire in Tamil “Protest” Theater
    AESTHETICS AS RESISTANCE: RASA, DHVANI, AND EMPIRE IN TAMIL “PROTEST” THEATER BY DHEEPA SUNDARAM DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Michael Palencia-Roth, Chair Professor Rajeshwari Pandharipande, Director of Research Professor Indira Viswanathan Peterson, Mount Holyoke College Associate Professor James Hansen Abstract Aesthetics as Resistance: Rasa, Dhvani, and Empire in Modern Tamil “Protest” Theater addresses questions concerning the role of aesthetics in the development, production, and impact of Tamil “Protest” Theater (1900-1930) on the success of the Indian anticolonial movement in the colonial Tamil state. In addition, I explore the possibility for a Modern Tamil aesthetic paradigm that arises from these syncretic plays, which borrow from both external and indigenous narrative and dramaturgical traditions. I begin with the following question, “Can aesthetic “relishing” (rasasvāda) be transformed into patriotic sentiment and fuel anticolonial resistance?” Utilizing Theodore Baskaran’s The Message Bearers, which examines the development and production of anticolonial media in the colonial Tamil state as point of departure, my research interrogates Tamil “popular” or “company” drama as a successful vehicle for evoking anticolonial sentiment. In this context, I posit the concept of “rasa- consciousness” as the audience’s metanarrative lens that transforms emotive cues and signposts in the dramatic work into sentiment through a process of aesthetic "remembering.” This lens is constituted through a complex interaction between culture, empire, and modernity that governs the spectator’s memorializing process. The culturally-determined aesthetic “lens” of Tamil spectator necessitates a culture-specific messaging system by anticolonial playwrights that links the dramatic outcome with feelings of nationalism and patriotism.

Administrator General & Official Trustee of Tamilandu (Management Nominee) Dr.Micheal Aruldoss Professor & Head Department of Endocrinology, University of Madras (Academician) Dr.K.L.Madhavan (Faculty Member) Dr.A.Subramanyan (Faculty Member) GENESIS Pachaiyappa’s College, Chennai is the offspring of a superlative act of private philanthropy of its progenitor, Pachaiyappa’s Mudaliar who had made himself a master financier and merchant prince when he was just 22 years old. Around this age many of us are in the threshold of our collegiate educational career. This College had its genesis in the famous Will of Pachaiyappa Mudaliar. Pachaiyappa was born, posthumously in 1754, of poor parents. He grew up in poverty and rose by his own force of character to be the most opulent man of his time but who finally bequeathed all his wealth for the service of God and humanity. It was at Kumbakonam on March 22, 1794, having a premonition of his premature demise, that he drew up his renowned Will “dedicating, with full knowledge and hearty resignation, all his wealth, in the absence of any male issue, to the sacred service of Siva and Vishnu and to certain charities at various temples and places of pilgrimage, to the erection of religious edifies, to bounties to the poor, to seminaries of Sanskrit learning and to other objects of general benevolence”.

  • THIS IS a MUSIC: RECLAIMING an UNTOUCHABLE DRUM Produced and Directed by Zoe C
    THIS IS A MUSIC: RECLAIMING AN UNTOUCHABLE DRUM Produced and Directed by Zoe C. Sherinian If you teach about India in your classes, using this film is a great way to expose students to a variety of Indian folk arts, to teach about the caste system, and as an example of activist ethnomusicological filmmaking. You can accompany it with my article “Activist Ethnomusicology and Marginalized Music of South Asia,” from the Oxford Handbook of Applied Ethnomusicology, edited by Pettan and Titon, 2015. The film is available for purchase by emailing me: [email protected]. It will also be available for streaming by mid-2017 with Alexander Street Press. Synopsis in English Short: This documentary is about the psychological and economic processes of transformation for a group of Dalit drummers. As they reclaim their performance as respectable and are positively received at the Chennai Sangamam folk festival, the question becomes, can they sustain these changes in the village context?
