Towards a Non Brahmin Millenium, Samya 1998
"...This book grew out of our desire to understand the
complexities of the Non-Brahmin-Dravidian movement in Tamil Nadu which, in
varying degrees, has come to inform and sustain political commonsense in the
Tamil country...In a context when
Brahmins claimed that birth was no more a badge of status and then went
ahead to act and speak as if it was, non-Brahmins, comprising a range of
castes and communities, including both those who owned land and those who
laboured on it, claimed the contrary. They called attention to practices of
discrimination, humiliation and negation suffered on account of their always
already lowly birth, and came to articulate a philosophy and practice of
rights which would help them combat inequality and humiliation..."

Untouchable Citizens: Dalit Movements and Democratization in Tamil
Nadu
This book studies Dalit
movements in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, their mode of organization,
engagement in politics and contribution to processes of democratization and
egalitarianism. Questions discussed include: How can democracy be preserved
under conditions of extra-institutional mobilization? What is the current
situation of Dalits in Tamil Nadu and why and in what manner do they resort
to protest? How are egalitarian and democratic ideas initiated at the local
level? How are the action concepts of social movements manifested in the
everyday lives of their members? and What will be the impact of the entry of
the
Dalit Liberation Panthers into electoral politics on democracy in Tamil
Nadu as well as India?

Ethnicity and
Populist Mobilization: political parties, citizens and democracy in South India,
Assistant Professor of Political Science, McGill University, Montreal, Canada;
Ph.D.: Massachusetts Institute of Technology.; M.A.: Massachusetts Institute of
Technology; B.A.: Princeton University
"This is an outstanding study of Dravidian politics,
the first to do full justice to the complexities and nuances of the subject,
and should become the standard reference work for years to come. But,
Narendra Subramanian's book is also much more. It pioneers new approaches to
the study of Indian politics and contributes new insights into the
comparative study of ethnicity, populism, pluralism and democracy. In its
light, many conventional understandings of India's recent political history
will have to be revised.'
