If it was not for the help and generosity of several people it wouldn’t have materialised in its current form. I sincerely owe a great deal of gratitude to all of them. I am extremely grateful to Sitharamam Kakarala, my supervisor, for allowing me to work in my comfort zone and to take all the freedom required while working on this thesis. His occasional but strong interventions were crucial in all the turns the project took from the moment it was conceptualised. I also remain thankful to Rochelle Pinto, the second reader of this thesis, for my intellectual exchanges with her had a remarkable impact in shaping the arguments that this thesis foreground. I am indebted to the Centre for the Study of Culture and Society, Bangalore where this project was initially conceptualized. S V Srinivas, Tejaswini Niranjana, Ashish Rajadhyaksha, Vivek Dhareswar and Mrinalini Sebastian all actively participated in the initial discussions of this thesis. The PhD coursework at CSCS was the most significant event ever occurred in my intellectual life. I am also thankful to them for bearing with me unconditionally during the days when I was silent and couldn’t manage to respond to the sudden flow of ideas and insights. I would like to thank Anup Dhar, Lakshmi Arya and Radhika for the insights they shared with me during our conversations at the centre. My conversation with Nivedita Menon at JNU in the beginning was quite insightful which helped considerably in shaping the final project. I am also thankful to Sujith, Nitya Vasudevan, Geetanjali Sreekantan, Meera Moorkoth, Dunkin Jalki, Girija K.P, Aswin Kumar, Teena Antony, Bitasta Das and Sana Das at CSCS for their constructive feedbacks. Two fellowship projects helped me both financially and to discuss my project on academic forums outside India: GEXcel – sponsored by the Swedish Research Foundation and jointly vi organized by Orebro university and Linkoping university in Sweden and Sephis – The South- South Exchange Programme for the Study of the History of Development. The conversations with Saskia Wieringa, Horacio Sivori, Sanjay Srivasthava at Sephis, and Anna Jónasdóttir and Michael Kimmel at GEXcel inspired me to expand my intellectual horizons. Though harsh, David Bond’s comments were immensely useful while revising some of my earlier drafts. Parvathy was another person who helped me to deal with the problem of language in the early stages of my academic writing. Simon T. D read the drafts carefully and helped me to identify several missing elements that would otherwise have gone unnoticed. Nagaraj, the dynamic administrative officer at the centre, has helped me in different ways on different occasions. I thank Maheswari, Pushpa, Padma and Vijayalakshmi at the CSCS library and Bharathi and Nagesh in the administrative section for their kind cooperation. I would like to express my thanks to the staff members of the following libraries and archives: State archives at Thiruvanathapuram, Kozhikkode and Ernakulam, Sahitya Academy at Thrissur, Appan Thamburan Smaraka Granthasala at Thrissur, CDS Library at Thiruvanathapuram, archives at the United Theolegical College in Bangalore and Library at Orebro university in Sweden. My family has remained the most important element in throughout the making of this thesis. My mother for her affection and encouragement, my late father whose memories always inspire me, Bindu for allowing me to share my joys and tears with her, Sajuettan and Sreeyechi for remaining supportive and helpful despite the world of differences, Mummy for her care and affection, Papa who left this world when I was just about to submit this thesis, Unni (Bini) and Pradeep for their emotional support, Babuettan (Sreekumar) and Preji edathy for their live presence in my life. And finally to Nabhas and Natasha who make me happy even when I have nothing to give them. vii Introduction It seems to me that an important part of a radical postmodern project is deconstructing not only binary metaphors but also the means by which the production of the political, cultural and social is achieved, and to what effect. Warner 1993, 169 The thesis attempts to analyse the configuration of sexual morality as a central element of discourses of modernity in Keralam in South India. It attempts to explore multiple sites where questions of body, desire and sexual pleasure were openly debated in the modern history of Keralam. Later the thesis will combine this with a critical ethnography of clandestine same sex intimacies in the contemporary. It will show that tension about (hetero) sexual morality is a central feature of postcolonial modernities where they are very often linked with questions of national progress. Knowledge produced in history, its circulation through various networks and re-presentations of social memories reproduce this excessive focus on questions of body. The close links between notions of civilized sexual appetite and notions of social progress, foregrounded by colonial/postcolonial discourses of modernity, have been critical in framing the contemporary attitudes towards homosexuality. The thesis will begin from reform discourses of morality and non-normative sex in the Malayali public sphere during colonial period. The significant changes in the way sexual morality was contested in the post 1940s and how the earlier debates, concerns, tensions and 1 even images revisit the contemporary are then analysed. Despite shifts and discontinuities in this space the thesis will attempt to show how debates about morality are also always debates about becoming modern and progressive. This frame, it will be argued, has a predominant role in rendering all other forms of sexuality as non-normative and deviant. The thesis further maps this to contemporary male to male relations and practices, and observes how subjects in subversive, albeit hidden, relations borrow from the same terminologies that are inherent constituents of this frame in the public realm. The production of this thesis is located amidst surging narratives of liberal sexuality. In India the emergence of economic liberalism has caused radical changes in the way sex is understood and debated in the public sphere. Nivedita Menon and Aditya Nigam characterize this random unfolding of links between economies of desire and the shifts that mark the period from the late 1980s as “unshackling the imagination” (Menon and Nigam 2007, 85). Narratives of same sex desire and intimacies are no longer considered strange in the public realm; sexuality debates in India have taken radical turns ever since individual right became the central foci of such debates1. However this thesis will attempt to show how sexuality debates have remained the nerve centre of modernity in Keralam. Thus it is precisely the historicity and the cultural situatedness of these debates that will be analysed here. In the last chapter I will also discuss about the relevance of local discourses of sexuality especially in the context of local being predominantly understood in current academia as shaped by global and transnational discourses. 1 See Narrain and Bhan (2005) to understand the extent to which rights discourse have transformed

    NavaJyoti, International Journal of Multi-Disciplinary Research Volume 1, Issue 1, August 2016 Resisting Discriminations: An Analysis of Selected works from Contemporary Malayalam Dalit Poetry Reshma K 1 Assistant Professor, Dept. of English, St. Aloysius College, Elthuruth, India ABSTRACT Dalit Sahitya has a voice of anguish and anger. It protests against social injustice, inequality, cruelty and economic exploitation based on caste and class. The primary motive of Dalit literature, especially poetry, is the liberation of Dalits. This paper focuses on contemporary Dalit poets in Malayalam, Raghavan Atholi, S. Joseph and G. Sashi Madhuraveli, who use their poetry to resist, in a variety of ways their continuing marginalization and discrimination. The poems are a bitter comment on predicament of the Dalits who still live in poverty, hunger, the problems of their colour, race, social status and their names. Keywords: Dalit poetry, resistance, contemporary Malayalam poetry, contemporary Dalit literature Dalit is described as members of scheduled castes and tribes, neo-Buddhists, the working people, landless and poor peasants, women and all those who are exploited politically, economically and in the name of religion (Omvedt 72). B. R. Ambedkar was one of the first leaders who strived for these counter hegemonic groups. He was the first Dalit to obtain a college education in India. All his struggles helped Dalits to come forward. He raised his voice to eradicate untouchability, caste discrimination, non-class type oppressions and women oppressions. All these ‘Ambedkarite’ thoughts formed a hope for the oppressed classes. These counter hegemonic groups resist through literature. Sentiments, hankers and the struggles of the suppressed is portrayed in Dalit literature.

    REPORT OF THE MRP TITLED BOOK PUBLISHING IN MALAYALAM THE BEGINNINGS DR BABU CHERIAN DEPARTMENT OF MALAYALAM CMS COLLEGE KOTTAYAM KERALA NO. F. MRP (H)-602/ 08-09/KLMG OO2/ UGC-SWRO/ DT. 30 MARCH 09 CONTENTS Chapter 1 An Introduction to Printing and Book-Publishing Chapter 2 The beginning of Printing in Malayalam that led to Book-Publishing Chapter 3 Malayalam Book Publishing and the first Malayalam Book Published in Kerala Chapter 4 Conclusion Chapter 1 An Introduction to Printing and Book-Publishing Printing is the technology that has recorded the history of all that has happened in the world from the past to the present. Yet, regarding the history of printing, especially the history of the very early days of the technology, not much is known. The invention of printing is a landmark in the history of the World’s civilization, not merely of book- publishing or the dissemination of knowledge. “Printing is the art and technology of recreating, on paper or fabric or on any other surface, pictures or words. Though a variety of printed objects are commonplace in modern times, the principal function of printing is the dissemination of thought and knowledge. Printed words and pictures have become an integral and important part of schools, libraries, education of individuals, intellectual growth and the popular news media” (Encyclopaedia Americana–Printing’). Though there were books when printing was unknown, the world then was the world of the illiterate societies, unable to read or write. “The greatest factor that was instrumental in making Europe civilized, was printing. If Asia and Africa are to see the light and achieve progress as Europe did, at one time or other, it will be, to a great extent, probably through printing”.
