The Hindu Nadar caste has been In existence for centuries. Some of Its members were converted to Christianity by Roman Catholic mis­ sionaries In the seventeenth century, and later. Their descendants form an exclusive group, living mostly In South India. A Protestant group came Into being In the nineteenth century, In the Tinnevelly district, as a re­ sult of evangelisation by missionaries from England. Members of the Nadnr caste, Hindu and Christian, are now found In large numbers In the southern districts of Tinnevelly, Ramnad, Madura, and In the southern districts of Travaneore.1 Besides spreading to other parts of India, many families have migrated to Ceylon, Burma and Malaya. An account of caste In India will be given as a background to a study of the Nadars, with certain ob­ jectives In view. The title of the thesis Is Persistence of Caste A ' 1 The London Missionary Society has been working In the Travaneore State slnoe 1806. Conversions from the Nadar oaste are referred to In Bishop Vsskom Pickett's Christian Mass Movements In India. New York, Cincinnati, Chicago: tfheAb ingdon Presa, . In South India - an analytical study of the Hindu and Christian Nadars. The problem Is the persistence of caste In the Protestant group, whose members are the descend­ ants of the converts of the Tinnevelly district. The latter group vas selected for study rather than the Roman Catholic group,2 and the basis for the selection Is ex­ plained below. The early European Protestant missionaries, espec­ ially those who came from England, condemned as "heathen" the caste customs which the converts persisted In prac­ tising. The missionaries thought that there vas "func­ tional inconsistency" between belief and practice when the Nadar converts differentiated between their own oaste group and Christians drawn from other castes, purely on 3 the basis of caste. The Protestant Nadar group. In spite of all opposition from their Church authorities, con­ tinued to preserve their caste Identity by using the caste label and by following oaste customs. In trying to 2 See Chapter III, Caste and Religion, for toler­ ance of oaste praetloes by Roman Cathollo missionaries, and the example set by Robert de Noblll who reaohed South

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from die document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an imagB on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • “Lost in Translation”: a Study of the History of Sri Lankan Literature
    Karunakaran / Lost in Translation “Lost in Translation”: A Study of the History of Sri Lankan Literature Shamila Karunakaran Abstract This paper provides an overview of the history of Sri Lankan literature from the ancient texts of the precolonial era to the English translations of postcolonial literature in the modern era. Sri Lanka’s book history is a cultural record of texts that contains “cultural heritage and incorporates everything that has survived” (Chodorow, 2006); however, Tamil language works are written with specifc words, ideas, and concepts that are unique to Sri Lankan culture and are “lost in translation” when conveyed in English. Keywords book history, translation iJournal - Journal Vol. 4 No. 1, Fall 2018 22 Karunakaran / Lost in Translation INTRODUCTION The phrase “lost in translation” refers to when the translation of a word or phrase does not convey its true or complete meaning due to various factors. This is a common problem when translating non-Western texts for North American and British readership, especially those written in non-Roman scripts. Literature and texts are tangible symbols, containing signifed cultural meaning, and they represent varying aspects of an existing international ethnic, social, or linguistic culture or group. Chodorow (2006) likens it to a cultural record of sorts, which he defnes as an object that “contains cultural heritage and incorporates everything that has survived” (pg. 373). In particular, those written in South Asian indigenous languages such as Tamil, Sanskrit, Urdu, Sinhalese are written with specifc words, ideas, and concepts that are unique to specifc culture[s] and cannot be properly conveyed in English translations.

CONCLUSION 55 BIBLIOGRAPHY 59 iii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION AND THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK During the last hundred and fifty years, the traditional joint family and the familistic rural framework have been undergoing a qualitative transformation. The basis of the rural family relation¬ ships is shifting from that of status to that of contract. The rule of custom is being replaced by the rule of law. The family is being transformed from a unit of production to a unit of consumption. The cementing bond of the family is being changed from consanguinity to conjugality. From a massive joint family, composed of members be- longinging to a number of generations, the family is increasingly shaping as tiny unit, composed of husband, wife and unmarried children.^- The object of this thesis is to show that the joint family system in India has been constantly in transition from its traditional form in which the behavior patterns were rigidly controlled by unwritten rules and public opinion, to the nuclear form where mutual affection among its members predominated. The family in its traditional form and the family in its nuclear form present two polar types.

  • Customs and Gender in the Context of Hindu Laws
    International Journal of Law and Legal Jurisprudence Studies :ISSN:2348-8212:Volume 4 Issue 2 86 CUSTOMS AND GENDER IN THE CONTEXT OF HINDU LAWS Dr. Paroma Sen1 Abstract There has been an influence of customs in the evolution of Hindu Laws. Hindu laws at times confronted, in other instances incorporated and in few cases overrode customary laws of different regions, however it could not in in any way change the caste based social prejudices. With the context of Haryana in the backdrop this article looks into the influence of customs in the region in the construction of gender identity and to what extent could Hindu Law influence the customs followed. Key words: customary laws, gender, hindu, dayabhaga, mitakshara, inheritance Hindu Law in the Pre-colonial period Origin of Hinduism has given rise to various interpretations. However, there could not be any denying that the consciousness of Hinduism as a religion among its followers arose in countering the identity of Muslims or Islamic presence in different parts of the country with the rise of the Sultanate followed by the Mughal rule. The word Hindu is a Persian term which was used to refer to the inhabitants across river Indus. This reference, points out a strong ethno-geographic2 connotation attached to the rise, development and continuance of Hinduism.The distinctions separating one religion from the followers of the other finally culminated into the partition of the country and eventual division of land based on the religion of its followers. Against this backdrop of the political invasion of the country and conflict among the religious groups, there was also the presence of laws influencing the social spheres of the family and community.
