Book Synopsis History of Tamil Nadu by : C. Manoranjithamoni
Download or read book History of Tamil Nadu written by C. Manoranjithamoni and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-22 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edition: Deluxe edition with color.The history of Tamil̤ Nāḍu from the sixteenth century to the eighteenth is eventful with political developments which had far-reaching consequences. It was a significant period in which non-Tamil̤ rulers ruled the country which ultimately led to the establishment of foreign rule. The period commences with the appointment of the Telugu-speaking Vijayanagar governors in the Madurai, Thañjāvūr and Señji regions. The decline of the Vijayanagar rule led to the rule of the Marāthas in Thañjāvūr and the Mughals in the Carnatic. The invasion of the Tamil̤ country by the Mughal general, Zulfikar Khan, made the Tamil̤ States tributaries of the Mughals and established the rule of the Carnatic Nawabs. This period witnessed the efforts of European powers to establish trade centres. The war of succession between the two dynasties of the Carnatic Nawabs and the wars between the competitive trading countries, the English and the French, had their impact on the native powers which thereby became weakened. By providing military and financial aid to native powers, the British gradually took over their territories and expanded the Madras Presidency. Another notable feature is that the success in getting political power in the Tamil̤ country encouraged the British to acquire political power in North India using their base in the Tamil̤ country as a springboard. Native rulers' military weakness and tendency to allow foreign powers to interfere in native politics and Muhammad Ali's total reliance on the English to control his subordinates and meet his financial needs necessitated by his extravagant lifestyle were contributary factors which helped the English, who came as traders, become rulers of the country.In this period, resenting the interference and oppression of the British, the poligars rose against them. The Poligar Rebellion under Pūli Thēvar and Kaṭṭabomman̤ and the South Indian Rebellion under Marudu Pāṇḍyan̤ are notable events of this period. The political development in the Tamil̤ country in this period had serious repercussions on the political future of India since they provided the British with experience and resources for the expansion of their rule in the rest of India. The year 1801 A.D. in which the Madras Presidency, the biggest in the British India, attained its total expansion is politically significant in the history of Tamil̤ Nāḍu and India.The rule of foreigners had its impact on the social life of the people and the economy of the country. The advent of Christian missionaries along with trading companies influenced the social life. The exploitation of native resources by the foreign rulers and the constant wars among them shattered the economy. In the midst of such turmoil, the Nāyaks and the Marāthas contributed to the developments of arts and culture. This book is a study of not only political events, but also the contemporary social, economic and religious conditions. The Nāyak architecture, which is the last phase of the Dravidian architecture, along with the contributions of the Marathas of Thañjāvūr, is highlighted. Besides its use to students and those who prepare for competitive examinations, it is an interesting study to those who are interested in the history of Tamil̤ Nāḍu. For the proper understanding of the details presented, maps and pictures are added at appropriate places.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Tamil Nadu from the sixteenth century to the eighteenth is eventful with political developments which had far-reaching consequences. It was a significant period in which non-Tamil rulers ruled the country which ultimately led to the establishment of foreign rule. The period commenced with the appointment of Telugu-speaking Vijayanagar Governors in the Madurai, Thanjavur and Senji regions. The decline of the Vijayanagar rule led to the rule of the Marathas in Thanjavur and the Mughals in the Carnatic. The invasion of the Tamil country by the Mughal General, Zulfikar Khan, made the Tamil States tributaries of the Mughals and install the rule of the Carnatic Nawabs. This period witnessed the efforts of European powers to establish trade centres. The War of succession between the dynasties of the Carnatic Nawabs and the wars between the competitive trading countries, the English and the French, had their impact on the native powers which thereby became weakened.

Download or read book History of Tamil Nadu written by Manoranjithamoni and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tamils have a long history starting from the pre-historic period. Retracing their history is facilitated by various sources. One-third of India's epigraphical sources pertain to Tamil Nadu and one of the dynasties of Tamil Nadu - the Pandyas - had the privilege of continuous rule from third century B.C. to sixteenth century A.D. It is a unique accomplishment in the annals of history, since very few dynasties in the world have reigned for such a long time. A remarkable feature of the Tamils is that they are the founders of Dravidian architecture. In this book, the author has updated the Tamil Nadu history with recent findings. As books dealing with Tamil Nadu history comprehensively, including all its aspects and new historical evidences, are not available, this endeavour to present all the details in a single book was undertaken. It can be a helpful and illuminative aid to students of UG and PG courses in History and those who prepare for competitive examinations. General readers will be interested in the information given here and they can gain knowledge of the rich tradition and different facets of people and life in Tamil Nadu in many ages. Besides political history, the social, economic and religious aspects are dealt with in detail, thereby giving a complete view of the life and growth of people in Tamil Nadu. For the better and thorough understanding of details, maps and pictures are given at appropriate places.

Download or read book The Dravidian Years written by S. Narayan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Haryana to Gujarat to Maharashtra, numerous Indian states have been witness to protests by backward classes pressing for quotas and reservations. In stark contrast is the exemplary case of Tamil Nadu, which has managed to effectively integrate economic and development agenda for the backward classes into state policy. In the fifty years of rule between them, M. Karunanidhi, MGR, and J. Jayalalithaa—the iconic leaders of Tamil Nadu politics—managed to effectively transform institutions and structures to deliver a social welfare agenda in the state. Was it pure charisma on part of these leaders that gave us the unusual story of politicians and bureaucrats working hand in hand to implement a social agenda? Written by S. Narayan, who as part of the administration was both a witness to and a participant in these developments, this book is an intimate narrative on the Dravidian years of Tamil Nadu. At an important juncture of Tamil Nadu politics, it also makes us wonder: With no charismatic leader in the horizon, who can take the state forward?
Book Synopsis History of Medical and Spiritual Sciences of Siddhas of Tamil Nadu by : P Karthigayan
Download or read book History of Medical and Spiritual Sciences of Siddhas of Tamil Nadu written by P Karthigayan and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Siddhas were mystics of ancient India. They believed that human race was created to excel in knowledge and help human societies form an advanced civilization on the Earth. They knew that they needed to live longer and even become immortals to achieve this goal. In Indian context Siddhas were considered as doctors but in Western context, such people were called Philosophers. Nevertheless, a deeper understanding of Siddhas' poetic scripts reveals their different faces such as scientific thinkers, social reformers, priest kings, pioneers of advanced cultures, etc. Siddhas speak about spirit, soul and body in their scripts. They also compare cosmos, nature and earth in their science. The unique attainment of Siddhas could be their mastery over physical and cosmic sciences. Siddhas believed that physical science is comparable with cosmic science. Thus, through their physical and cosmic observations, they succeeded in inventing ambrosia of Gods and many became Gods themselves.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Cultural Nationalism in South India by : Marguerite Ross Barnett
Download or read book The Politics of Cultural Nationalism in South India written by Marguerite Ross Barnett and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Processor Barnett analyzes a successful political movement in South India that used cultural nationalism as a positive force for change. By exploring the history of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party, the author provides a new perspective on political identity. In so doing, she challenges the interpretation of cultural nationalism as a product of atavistic and primordial forces that poses an inherent threat to the integrity of territorially defined nation-states and thus to the progress of modernization. The founding of the DMK party in 1949, the author shows, was a turning point in the political history of Tamil Nadu, South India, because it ushered in the era of Tamil cultural nationalism. In the hands of the DMK, Tamil nationalism became an ideology of mass mobilization and thus shaped the articulation of political demands for a generation. The author analyzes the social, political, and economic factors that gave rise to cultural nationalism; the interplay between cultural nationalist leaders; and the role of cultural nationalism in a heterogeneous nation-state. Originally published in 1976. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Book Synopsis Music as History in Tamilnadu by : T. K. Venkatasubramanian
Download or read book Music as History in Tamilnadu written by T. K. Venkatasubramanian and published by Primus Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent scholarship on the history of music in South Asia has examined the processes by which music as an art form was reinvented for nationalist purposes, yet, the disciplined study of music (and its aesthetics) remains only a few centuries old. Studying music through a historical lens has opened new approaches to interdisciplinary studies. Music as History in Tamilnadu examines how history can be interpreted through aesthetics and music and vice versa. Musicologists focus on the study of musical activity, while ethnomusicologists examine this activity first-hand using the 'field' research methods of cultural anthropology. The historian's task, then, is to interpret the musical past as part of cultural production and thereafter relate music to general historical trends. This collection of essays seeks to establish the interdisciplinarity between music (the Karnatak system) and the history of Tamilnadu, south India.

Book Synopsis The Strangeness of Tamil Nadu by : M. S. S. Pandian
Download or read book The Strangeness of Tamil Nadu written by M. S. S. Pandian and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: M.S.S. Pandian (1958 2014) was an eminent historian of South Indian politics, caste, culture, and cinema. His writings offer distinctively Tamil insights on these areas. In this book his chief focus is Tamil political culture for roughly thirty years since 1985. His success lies in bringing a historical understanding to bear on what he called the strangeness of Tamil Nadu . A key figure in Pandian s thinking was E.V. Ramasamy Periyar . Pandian argues that Periyar s ideals and strategies long remained popular among Tamil progressives, but that their survival became difficult because of radical changes in pan-Indian political culture. To show these changes, this book is organised chronologically as well as along thematic sections that reflect the themes of Periyar s Dravidian ideology: linguistic identity, state politics, religion, and caste. Periyar s ideas, Pandian argues, can still provide productive standards for critical analysis of politics in India. But because they are not widely known or appreciated outside Tamil Nadu, they represent the strangeness of Tamil politics instead of being adapted as progressive in the country as a whole.
