Krishnan Former Secretary, Government of India [email protected] Abstract This article suggests how the Gandhi–Ambedkar–Narayanaguru–Marx visions can be synthesised in support of the movement for the liberation and empowerment of India’s dalits. It brings out the beginnings and evolution of Gandhji’s sensitivity and opposition to ‘untouchability’. His perception of ‘untouchability’ was initially limited to ‘touch-me-not-ism’, but deepened after his contact with Narayanaguru and Narayanaguru-inspired movements and, most crucially, his contact and encounters with Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. The article traces the Gandhiji– Babasaheb divergences, the Yeravda convergence and their other interesting convergences, and the unfortunate post-Yeravda re-emergence of divergence.

  • 386 'A People United in Development'
    1 Working Paper 386 ‘A PEOPLE UNITED IN DEVELOPMENT’: DEVELOPMENTALISM IN MODERN MALAYALEE IDENTITY J. Devika June 2007 2 Working Papers published since August 1997 (WP 279 onwards) can be downloaded from the Centre’s website (www.cds.edu) 3 ‘A PEOPLE UNITED IN DEVELOPMENT’: DEVELOPMENTALISM IN MODERN MALAYALEE IDENTITY J. Devika June 2007 I wish to thank K.T. Rammohan for his useful comments on the earlier version of this essay. 4 ABSTRACT The desire for ‘Development’ — often defined vaguely, working as a catch-all term for economic growth, social welfare, and socialistic redistribution of resources— has been intimately linked to the construction of the idea of a ‘Malayalee People’ as a distinct socio-cultural entity in the post-independence period. In this paper, the effort is to trace out some of these links in greater clarity. Put very briefly, the attempt is to draw upon public sphere debates in Malayalee society in the immediate post-independence decades, more specifically on speech and writing accruing around the distinctiveness of Malayalee culture and Aikya Keralam (United Kerala). Through this I hope to demonstrate the centrality of Developmentalism in both the conception of a unified ‘Malayalee People’ and their relation with other similar entities as the other States, and the Indian state. In the conclusion I try to reflect on themes that could possibly take forward the research on Malayalee identity in the late twentieth century and after. Keywords: Developmentalism, (sub)nationality, United Kerala, Malayalee identity 5 ‘Development’ has been a magic word in the Malayalam language since the mid twentieth century.
