Скачать или смотреть Periyar - Caste, Nation and Socialism | Book Review by Ram Puniyani

The book delves into the transformative power of conversation to illustrate the pivotal chapters of the Periyar's Self-Respect Movement and the formation of the Dravidar Kazhagam. Breaking free from the narrow portrayals of Periyar E. V. Ramasami as an idol breaker, defiler of Hindu gods and an opponent of the Hindi language, the book highlights the hitherto unknown dimensions of the legendary leader such as the meetings addressed by him in north Indian cities (most of them organized by veteran Ambedkarites), points of his convergence and divergence with Babasaheb Dr. B. R. Amedkar, Periyar's interest in propagating Buddhism as a moral compass, his relationship with and critique of Communists, his life-long commitment to the annihilation of caste and his vision of an in independent Dravidanadu/Tamil Nadu as a space for a Samadharmic community. The book passionately defends Periyar from the baseless accusations and outright lies systematically spread across Tamil Nadu and beyond it, besides offering an inspiring narrative of the life-journey and the emergence of the author as an organic intellectual.
