Published 13/08/2018 LINGUSTIC POLICY OF DMK FROM 1949 – 1956 Dr. R.DHANABAL Assistant Professor in History Government Arts College for Women Salem-8. The DMK concentrating on reformative politics in Tamil Nadu during 1949-56. Language strategists are those figures who innovate prudently to promote linguistic interests. As a basic strategy the DMK preached the antiquity and achievements of the distant past of the Tamils. An ethnic group becomes a nationality when it has an image of its collective past and when its members are aware of and responsive to that image. The DMK men used to enter into villages and towns with microphone and amplifiers and create a festive climate by drapery, decoration of red and black party flags, and playing cinema records before they started their sermons. They would tell the people very seriously with all sincerity that the local people were the honourable sons and daughters of those great grand ancestors who lived in affluence and that their ancient rulers were great kings, seamen, conquerors but never intending to rule other people.In a society which believed in untouchability, they went to address the local gathering, they used to dine with the local leaders. In the party, they developed family-like relationships. The leaders were treated as elder brothers. The party men who developed the necessary oratorical talent could exaggerate the prevailing state of affairs. They would shed tears to narrate the sufferings of the people.

Tamil egalitarian ideas were partly rediscovered by nineteenth century Christian missionaries, and they left their impress of the unique antiquity of Tamil language, literature, history and culture. Certain statements by European missionary scholars like Percival, Winslow, Caldwell, Pope and others kindled a sense of pride among Tamils about their heritage. The European missionaries opened up the flood gates of Dravidian studies which in fact led to the rediscovery of the Dravidian past. C.J Beschi, Fr.Henriques, Robert De Nobilli, are the forerunners of the Tamil Purist Movement who started the de-sanskritisation process and extended it to all fields of writing. Before launching the Pure Tamil Movement, Swami Vedachalam had a preparatory period during which he had the benefit of learning and discussing matters with active and eminent native personalities like Prof. Sundaram Pillai, Nallasami Pillai and Prof.

Also known as Aringar Anna "Anna, the scholar" was an Indian Politician who served as the Fifth and Last Chief Minister of Madras State from 1967 Until 1969 and first Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for 20 days After Madras State was rechristened Tamil Nadu before his death. He was the first member of a Dravidian party to hold either post. He was well known for his oratorical skills and was an acclaimed writer in the Tamil language. He scripted and acted in several plays. Some of his plays were later made into movies. He was the first Politician from the Dravidian parties to use Tamil cinema extensively for political propaganda. Born in a middle-class family, he first worked as a school teacher, then moved into the Political scene of the Madras Presidency as a journalist. He edited several political journals and enrolled as a member of the Dravider Kazhagam in 1935. As an ardent follower of Periyar E. V. Ramasamy, he rose in stature as a prominent member of the party. With differences looming with Periyar, on issues of separate independent state of Dravida Nadu and union with India, He crossed swords with his political mentor. The friction between the two finally erupted when Periyar married Maniammai, who was much younger than him. Angered by this action of Periyar, Annadurai with his supporters parted from Dravider Kazhagam and launched his own party, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) started from 1949 “ the Founder of DMK.

  • Kalki's Avatars
    KALKI’S AVATARS: WRITING NATION, HISTORY, REGION, AND CULTURE IN THE TAMIL PUBLIC SPHERE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Akhila Ramnarayan. M.A. ****** The Ohio State University 2006 Approved by Dissertation Committee: Professor Chadwick Allen, Adviser Adviser Professor Debra Moddelmog, Adviser Professor James Phelan Adviser English Graduate Program ABSTRACT Challenging the English-only bias in postcolonial theory and literary criticism, this dissertation investigates the role of the twentieth-century Tamil historical romance in the formation of Indian and Tamil identity in the colonial period. I argue that Tamil Indian writer-nationalist Kalki Ra. Krsnamurti’s (1899-1954) 1944 Civakamiyin Capatam (Civakami’s Vow)—chronicling the ill-fated wartime romance of Pallava king Narasimhavarman (630-668 CE) and fictional court dancer Civakami against the backdrop of the seventh-century Pallava-Chalukya wars—exemplifies a distinct genre of interventionist literature in the Indian subcontinent. In Kalki’s hands, the vernacular novel became a means by which to infiltrate the colonial imaginary and, at the same time, to envision a Tamil India untainted by colonial presence. Charting the generic transformation of the historical romance in the Tamil instance, my study provides 1) a refutation of the inflationary and overweening claims made in postcolonial studies about South Asian nationalism, 2) a questioning of naïve binaries such as local and global, cosmopolitan and vernacular, universal and particular, traditional and modern, in examining the colonial/postcolonial transaction, and 3) a case for a less grandiose and more carefully historicized account of bourgeois nationalism than has previously been provided by postcolonial critics, accounting for its complicities with ii and resistances to discourses of nation, region, caste, and gender in the late colonial context.

The first film exhibitors introduced film to Madras as a kind of European entertainment using the same local venues as the European variety circuit. Their shows conformed to a variety format and they frequently mixed films with other kinds of live performances. In addition to situating early touring cinema shows within the local, European entertainment circuits of Madras city, the second strand of my argument is that we need to rethink the mobility of early cinema in India.
