Sociopolitical Movements of a Century in Tamil Nadu
About this book
Sociopolitical Movements of a Century in Tamil Nadu spans a century of sociopolitical struggles—protests, rebellions, agitations, revolutions, and movements—that took place in Tamil Nadu from 1921 to 2020. In an attempt to unearth the historical truths buried by the dominant ideologies, Dr Suba. Veerapandian has employed a sagacious combination of the subaltern and postmodern approaches to history in analysing the struggles to uplift the socially, linguistically, culturally and politically marginalized people of Tamil Nadu. Subavee's subtlety laced with sarcasm engrosses the readers, making the book a gripping narrative of the sociopolitical history of Tamil Nadu. The book celebrates the rich heritage of resistance put forth by leaders such as Periyar EVR, Arignar Anna and Kalaignar Karunanidhi to anarchy and oppression, and links the past to the present, censuring the sociopolitical ideologies that trample societies through cultural hegemony.
