The Demand for Dravida Nadu (1938 to 1944) in Tamil Renaissance and
Dravidian Nationalism - Professor K.Nambi Arooran, Madurai Kamraj
University "...the Justice Party Confederation in
which E.V.R. put forward his demand for a separate Tamilnad was held at
Madras in December 1938.... (Later) The Justice Party was renamed the
Dravidar Kazhagam at a conference held in Salem in September 1944, when
the demand for Dravidanad was given substance and a definite scheme for
establishing the new state was put forward...The creation of Dravidanad
as a separate sovereign state continued to be the main object of the
Dravidar Kazhagam and its offshoot the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam
(founded in 1949) till 1963 when the Indian Constitution was amended
specially to make a demand for secession a criminal act, and since then
the demand was given up" |

Caste,
nationalism, and ethnicity : an interpretation of Tamil cultural history
and social order - Jacob Pandian "...Among the Tamils,
Tamil language
is the emblem of Tamil ethnic identity. ...although language constitutes
the single most characteristic feature of a separate ethnic
identity...ethnicity is frequently related more to the
symbol
of a separate language than to its actual use by all members of a
group... Tamil language functions as the emblem of Tamil identity
because of the existence of the various symbols of boundaries in Tamil
culture...... it is the use of the symbols of
chenthamil,
karppu, and
tamilakam
which enables the denotation of Tamil language as the emblem of Tamil
collective identity..." |

Guna, a Tamil writer from Karnataka on
What Caused Veerappan?
"...The States’ Reorganisation in 1956 led to the marginalisation of
Tamils in the areas, which were acceded to from the erstwhile Madras
Presidency to the new-found Greater Mysore. The city of Bangalore,
which itself was founded by a Tamil of Vanniyar caste, Kempe Gownden,
from Âlûr near Kânchipuram in 1537, was predominantly Tamil in its
demographic composition. Kollegal, which was largely Tamil,
was acceded to Greater Mysore, as Chittoor district was annexed to
Andhra Pradesh and the huge Idikki district to Kerala...." |

Of music, saints and temple towns....C.Kumarabharathy
"The overcrowded Cholan Transport Corporation bus disgorged me at the
Thiruvaiyaru bazaar and sped on its way raising a thick cloud of dust in its
wake. The cyclists stopped in their mid tracks, momentarily blinded by the
dust. Passers-by covered their faces with shawls and sari fronts - munthanai
- to escape the blast of this hot dust. Life paused a moment. Eventually
visibility returned..." |

Human Development in Tamil Nadu - Lalitha Sridhar, 2003 ""...Says
Professor M. S. Swaminathan, the country’s legendary agricultural
scientist named by TIME magazine as one of the twenty most influential
Asians of the 20th century, “25-26% of our population are chronically
undernourished, what we call endemic hunger, the lack of adequate
sustenance. This is not because there isn’t enough food. You have a
large variety of food available in the market, provided you have the
money to buy it. So the key question, why don’t we have the money?
Because there are no jobs. This is the job famine. The livelihood
famine...”
