Nala Assistant Professor of History Sri Sarada College for Women (Autonomous), Salem- 16 Self Respect Movement represented the Dravidian reaction against the Aryan domination in the Southern Society. It also armed at liberating the society from the evils of religious, customs and caste system. They tried to give equal status to the downtrodden and give the social dignity, Self Respect Movement was directed by the Dravidian communities against the Brahmanas. The movement wanted a new cultural society more based on reason rather than tradition. It aimed at giving respect to the instead of to a Brahmin. By the 19th Century Tamil renaissance gained strength because of the new interest in the study of the classical culture. The European scholars like Caldwell Beschi and Pope took a leading part in promoting this trend. C.V. Meenakshi Sundaram and Swaminatha Iyer through their wirtings and discourse contributed to the ancient glory of the Tamil. The resourceful poem of Bharathidasan, a disciple of Subramania Bharati noted for their style, beauty and force. C.N. Annadurai popularized a prose style noted for its symphony. These scholars did much revolutionise the thinking of the people and liberate Tamil language from brahminical influence. Thus they tried resist alien influence especially Aryan Sanskrit and to create a new order. The chief grievance of the Dravidian communities was their failure to obtain a fair share in the administration.

  • Inspiring Songs on Women Empowerment by Mahakavi Subramania Bharati
    IOSR Journal of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 21, Issue 10, Ver. 11 (October.2016) PP 24-28 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Inspiring Songs on Women Empowerment by Mahakavi Subramania Bharati Shobha Ramesh Carnatic Classical Musician, All India Radio Artist and Performer,B.Ed,M.Phil,Cultural Studies and Music,Jain University,Bangalore,India Abstract:-In early India, in the name of tradition, men had for long suppressed women and had deprived them of their rightful place in society. Even in the mid-nineteenth century, women had absolutely negligible rights in Indian society and had to be subjugated to their husbands and others in society.Literacy among women was not given any importance in Indian society as a woman’s role as a male caretaker, wife or mother only took precedence. Even today, in many remote villages and very conservative households, women are supposed to cover their heads with the ‘pallu’(one portion) of their saris (the traditional attire of women in India)in the presence of elders and are not allowed to voice their opinions freely or even express their desires freely in their household. This great Indian freedom fighter and poet Mahakavi Subramania Bharati brought to light the oppression against women in the male-dominated Indian society through his awe-inspiring songs on women empowerment wherein he envisaged a new strong woman of the future, who he termed as a ‘new-age woman’. He envisaged the new-age woman as one who brakes free from all the chains that bind her to customs,traditions and age-old beliefs, as one who marches ahead confidently to find an identity of her own, one who walks hand in hand with her male counterpart, equal to him in all walks of life Keywords: Women, male-domination, Mahakavi Subramania Bharati, new-age woman, empowerment I.

  • Reputation of C
    The Reputation of C. Subramania Bharati 1921 to the Present P. K. Sundararajan C. Subramania Bharati was born in 1882, and died at the young age of 39 years in 1921. Bharati did not enjoy a lot of public attention during his short lifetime. His life was not a life of noticeable, or spectacular, or sensational events. He was born the son of a prosperous middle- class Brahmin; lost his mother when he was barely 5; was brought up by relatives on the maternal side of his family; married at 15; put himself through the semblance of a university education; as a passionate advocate for India’s liberty, exiled himself to Pondicherry; courted persecution at the hands of the British; was sporadically employed as a journalist; until death claimed him due to a casual illness. But, during this eventless life, Destiny conspired to create through Bharati the 20th-century Renaissance in Tamil language and literature. The aim of this brief article is to study this phenomenon, and to assess the reputation of Bharati during the past century and a quarter. Young Subbiah had a gift for words, and was known to make poetry at 6 or 7 years of age. As a boy, he seems to have made friends among the learned pundits of the Zamindari of Ettayapuram. A group of admirers endowed the young Subbiah with the title Bharati, which means Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge. It is noteworthy that Subbiah carried the title Bharati for the rest of his life, and, in fact, came to be known by the title and its adaptations, Bharati and Bharatiyar.

  • Independence Day
    INDEPENDENCE DAY ‘Swaraj is my Birthright and I shall have it’- Bal Gangadhar Tilak India celebrates its Independence Day on 15th August every year. Independence Day reminds us of all the sacrifices that were made by our freedom fighters to make India free from British rule. On 15th August 1947, India was declared independent from British colonialism and became the largest democracy in the world. "Tryst with Destiny" was an English-language speech delivered by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, to the Indian Constituent Assembly in the Parliament, on the eve of India's Independence, towards midnight on 14 August 1947. The speech spoke on the aspects that transcended Indian history. It is considered to be one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century and to be a landmark oration that captures the essence of the triumphant culmination of the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule in India. The Indian independence movement was a series of historic events with the ultimate aim of ending British rule in India. The movement spanned from 1857 to 1947. The first nationalistic revolutionary movement for Indian independence emerged from Bengal. It later took root in the newly formed Indian National Congress with prominent moderate leaders seeking only their fundamental right to appear for Indian Civil Service examinations in British India, as well as more rights (economical in nature) for the people of the soil. The early part of the 20th century saw a more radical approach towards political self-rule proposed by leaders such as the Lal Bal Pal triumvirate, Aurobindo Ghosh and V.

INTRODUCTION (BLOCK) During the 17th and 18th century, India maintained a favorable balance of trade and had a steady economy .Self-sufficient agriculture, flourishing trade and rich handicraft industries were hallmark of Indian economy. During the last half of the 18thcentury, India was conquered by the East India Company. Along with the consolidation of British political hegemony in India, there followed colonization of its economy and society. Colonization no longer functioned through the crude tools of plunder and tribute and mercantilism but perpetuated through the more disguised and complex mechanism of free trade and foreign capital investment. The characteristic of 19th century colonialism lay in the conversion of India into supplier of foodstuff and raw materials to the metropolis, a market for metropolitan manufacturer, and a field for investment of British capital. In the same way, Indian society in the 19th century was caught in a inhuman web created by religious superstition and social obscuration .Hinduism, has became a compound of magic, animation and superstition and monstrous rites like animal sacrifice and physical torture had replaced the worship of God.The most painful was position of women .The British conquest and dissemination colonial culture and ideology led to introspection about the strength and weakness of indigenous culture and civilization.

  • The Interviews: an Introduction
    int e rvi e ws The Interviews: An Introduction Introduction Organised peasant movements against landlords and the colonial power were an important feature of India’s freedom movement in the first half of the twentieth century. Peasant agitations in the nineteenth century were sporadic and localised rather than organised. For instance, the Deccan riots in the Bombay Presidency, the Mappila revolts in Malabar, and the Santhal rebellion and the Indigo revolt in the Bengal Presidency were spontaneous, often violent, reactions of the peasantry against either British oppression or “landlord gangsterism.” These uprisings were also quickly suppressed. For all the setbacks that these struggles suffered, they played a significant role in the history and consciousness of India’s peasantry and people. In contrast, the more organised peasant movements of the twentieth century were often able to obtain lasting and long-term gains for the peasantry; these movements also laid the foundations for the establishment of peasant organisations, such as the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), in the 1930s, and for their growth in the post- Independence period. In this issue, the Review of Agrarian Studies publishes three accounts of the trajectories of peasant movements in India after the early 1930s. These accounts are the products of long interviews that three students of agrarian India had with three leading figures of the AIKS, one each in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and West Bengal. V. K. Ramachandran interviewed P. Ramamurti in 1982, 1983, and 1984; R. Ramakumar interviewed E. K. Nayanar in 2003; Aparajita Bakshi interviewed Benoy Konar in 2010. Together, these interviews present a remarkable picture of the modern history of peasant movements in India.

  • Coining Words Language and Politics in Late Colonial Tamilnadu
    CHAPTER 8 Coining Words Language and Politics in Late Colonial Tamilnadu Forming words with Sanskrit roots will certainly ruin the beauty and growth of the Tamil language and disfigure it; and is sure to inflame communal hatred. —E. M. Subramania Pillai to Government of Madras, Memorandum, 5 September 1941. Though a common terminology may be possible in Northern India where Hindustani and Sanskrit have mingled together very much and local lan- guages have been greatly modified by them, such a terminology would be unsuited to the Tamil area where Tamils have preserved the purity of their language. Words coined must have Tamil roots and suffixes to make them intelligible to the Tamils. —Memorandum submitted by the Committee of Educationists to the Government of Madras, 22 August 1941. Some months ago, there raged in the academic world, a controversy regard- ing the coining of technical terms. While some said that there should be no bar on borrowing terms from other languages to express new scientific disciplines, others argued that only pure Tamil terms should be used.... [This] has raged since the beginnings of the Tamil language. But, in earlier days, it was not conducted by opposite camps; there were no acrimonious polemics; there was nobody to say 'Our language is ruined by the admix- ture of other languages; we should have a Protection Brigade to safeguard our language' and so on. —S. Vaiyapuri Pillai, Sorkalai Virundu, Madras, 1956, p. 31 (originally published in Dinamani, 10 May 1947). Drawing on Raymond Williams' formulation in his classic Key- words, that 'important social and historical processes occur within language',1 this chapter seeks to explore the cultural politics 144 In Those Days There Was tio Coffee Coining Words 145 surrounding the coining of technical and scientific terms for Bharati's views are typical of the nationalist perspective, which pedagogic purposes in late colonial Tamilnadu.

Vijayarangam Part-Time Ph.D. Research Scholar in History, Department of History , Presidency College (Affiliated to the University of Madras) Chennai, Tamil Nadu. ABSTRACT : The growth of nationalism in the first half of the Twentieth Century India was closely connected to the anti- colonial movement. The ideology of nationalism united the various linguistic and cultural groups of India.

Chidambaram Pillai and other swadeshi extremist leaders ventilated anti- colonial feelings against British colonial rule aiming at the revival of the glorious sea faring traditions of the Tamils and free India from the unwanted intervention of the British. Swadeshi and boycott were the twin weapons of the Swadeshi Nationalists .V.O. C and other Swadeshi leaders wanted to follow the footsteps of Tilak. V.O.C. pursued the swadeshi ideals through his new enterprise. KEYWORDS : Swadeshi, Moderates, Extremists, Swadeshi Movement, V.O.Chidambaram, Siva, Tilak, B.C.Pal, Tirunelveli.
