Th e enrichment of his thoughts is the seed of social development and Ua weapon for social revolution. In addition to this; his rationalistic thoughts are totally based on scientifi c thinking. Th at is why we feel proud of calling him a 'rare social scientist'. What is Science? And who is a Scientist? What is scientifi c temperament? Even the teachers of science, do not seem to know the real meaning of science. Th ey only know science as 'a subject', 'a study', nothing more. We are puzzled why they are not interested to know or to understand the real meaning of science and to teach the students.

Department of POLITICAL SCIENCE The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 ABSTRACT This study is rooted in a theoretical interest in the development of parties that appeal mainly to primordial ties. The claims of social relationships based on tribe, race, language or religion have the capacity to rival the civil order of the state for the loyalty of its citizens, thus threatening to undermine its political authority. This phenomenon is endemic to most Asian and African states. Most previous research has argued that political competition in such contexts encourages the formation of primordially based parties whose activities threaten the integrity of these states.

  • Justice Party - Torch-Bearer of Reform
    Justice Party - Torch-bearer of reform In the centennial year of the Justice Party, its service to the downtrodden and its objectives to strive for an egalitarian society need a fair appraisal It is indeed remarkable that 2015, a year that witnessed much of a ballyhoo against reservation, is also historic for the Justice Party, an organisation that sowed the seeds of social justice in the socio-political conscience of the country. It now quietly marks its centennial (1916-2015). What the Justice Party sowed a century ago has grown into a mighty banyan tree called caste-based reservation which the elite, the erudite and the privileged now want to be axed. However, at the grass-root level, and away from the cacophony of television debates, reservation as an idea still finds resonance, especially among the underprivileged. K. Veeramani Page 1 of 3 The results of the Bihar elections have only reinforced this; the right wing’s call for a review of the reservation system was one of the reasons that did the Bharatiya Janata Party in. The South Indian Liberal Federation, also referred to as the Justice Party, may be alien to the present day generation. It is a slice of history that has been conveniently or rather deliberately forgotten about in present day political discourse which glosses over the social reforms initiated by the party. How many thinkers and intellectuals who swear by democracy know that the Justice Party was a progressive movement that introduced women suffrage in April 1921 in the then Madras province? And this just a year after the princely state in Kerala? How many of those who fight for women’s rights now are aware that the Devadasi system was abolished by the Justice Party government, which was formed in 1920? A political party in the opposition was so vociferously opposed to this idea that its distinguished members indulged in a war of words with the social reformer, women’s rights activist and writer, Dr.

  • M Karunanidhi: the Dravidian Sun Sets
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 M Karunanidhi: The Dravidian Sun Sets A KALAIYARASAN KARTHICK RAM MANOHARAN A Kalaiyarasan ([email protected]) is at Madras Institute of Development Studies. Karthick Ram Manoharan ([email protected]) is at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta. The authors would like to thank S Anandhi, Ezhilarasan, Jeyaranjan, V M Subagunarajan and M Vijayabaskar for their inputs. Vol. 53, Issue No. 31, 04 Aug, 2018 When Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam chief and five-time Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Muthuvel Karunanidhi passed away on 7 August 2018, he had outlived most of his friends and all of his rivals. “Kalaignar,” as he was popularly known among the Tamil people, left behind an active political life of 80 years, six decades of which were spent as a legislator. Born on 3 June 1924 into a poor family from an extremely marginalised backward caste, M Karunanidhi was witness to key events of the last century that shaped the world as we know it today. He was also a key participant in events that radically shaped the nature of politics in Tamil Nadu. In an interview on 16 February 1965, a correspondent of Pravda, the official organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, asked Karunanidhi about the goals of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). Karunanidhi responded that the goals were social justice in society, rationalism in culture, socialism in economy, and democracy in politics. The route to achieve these goals, he said, was via the parliament. Hailing from a community that was stigmatised by an oppressive feudal system in his hometown of Thiruvarur, he was drawn to the radical anti-caste discourse of Periyar.

  • The First Human Rights Agitation in India Led by Thanthai Periyar UNTOUCHABILITY
    The First Human Rights Agitation In India Led by Thanthai Periyar UNTOUCHABILITY (History of Vaikom agitation) (Speech delivered by Periyar in Kanyakumari District, on 25th and 26th Dec.1958 (Vide: ‘Viduthalai’ 8 & 9.1.1959) Respectful President, Ladies and Gentlemen, I was extended an invitation to come over to the Kanyakumari District many times by your comrades. As I was busily touring in the other districts, I could not come earlier. Wherever I toured, I found a great awakening. People gathered in thousands. Ten years ago I addressed a meeting here in Marthandam. In those days you were citizens of a State. You were ruled by a Rajah. Whereas we were citizens of the British Government. Yet we are all ‘Sudras’. We Dravidians were subjected to humiliation. It was the outcome of the hoax played on us. We continue to be ‘Sudras’. Today, we are citizens of one country. We are Tamilians of Tamilnadu. We are today brought together. Our unity is strengthened. We are today linked as one family because we are all now citizens of one country. We have to work together for achieving our ideals as we are all classified under one caste. So far as I am concerned, even before 35 years ago, I lead the agitation in Tamilnad to eradicate the social evils particularly the hateful ‘untouchability’. For over thousand years we were not allowed to enter some of the public roads. Those who are now aged at least 50 years may recollect those days. Youngsters of this generation may not know these things of the past.
