Colonial Authority and Tamiḻ Scholarship A Study of the First English Translations

Colonial Authority and Tamiḻ Scholarship A Study of the First English Translations

This book—an English translation of a key Tamiḻ book of literary and cultural criticism—looks at the construction of Tamiḻ scholarship through the colonial approach to Tamiḻ literature as evidenced in the first translations into English. The Tamiḻ original Atikāramum tamiḻp pulamaiyum: Tamiḻiliruntu mutal āṅkila moḻipeyarppukaḷ by N Govindarajan is a critique of the early attempts at the translations of Tamiḻ literary texts by East India Company officials specifically by N E Kindersley. Kindersley who was working as the Collector of South Arcot district in the late eighteenth century was the first colonial officer to translate the Tamiḻ classic Tirukkuṟaḷ and the story of King Naḷa into English and to bring to the reading public in English the vibrant oral narrative tradition in Tamiḻ. F W Ellis in the nineteenth century brought in another dimension through his translation of the same classic. The book thus focuses on the attempts to translate the Tamiḻ literary works by the Company’s officials who emerged as the pioneering English Dravidianists and the impact of translations on the Tamiḻ reading community. Theoretically grounded the book makes use of contemporary perspectives to examine colonial interventions and the operation of power relations in the literary and socio-cultural spheres. It combines both critical readings of past translations and intensive research work on Tamiḻ scholarship to locate the practice of literary works in South Asia and its colonial history which then enables a conversation between Indian literary cultures. In this book the author has not only explored all key scholarly sources as well as the commentaries that were used by the colonial officials chiefly Kindersley but also gives us an insightful critique of the Tamiḻ works. The highlight of the discussion of Dravidian Orientalism in this book is the intralinguistic opposition of the “mainstream” Tamiḻ literature in “correct/poetical” Tamiḻ and the folk literature in “vacana” Tamiḻ. This framework allows the translators to critically engage with the work. Annotated and with an Introduction and a Glossary this translated work is a valuable addition to our reading of colonial South India. The book will be of interest to researchers of Tamiḻ Studies Orientalism and Indology translation studies oral literature linguistics South Asian Studies Dravidian Studies and colonial history. | Colonial Authority and Tamiḻ Scholarship A Study of the First English Translations

Kings Spirits and Memory in Central India Enchanting the State

Part anthropological history and part memoir this book is a unique study of the polity of the colonial-princely state of Kanker in central India. The author a scion of the erstwhile ruling family of Kanker delves into the oral accounts given in the ancestral deity practices of the mixed tribe-caste communities of the region to highlight popular narratives of its historical polity. As he struggles with his own dilemmas as ethnographer-king what comes into view is a polity where the princely state is drawn out amidst a terrain of gods and spirits as much as that of law courts and magistrates and political power is divided contested and shared between the raja/state and the people. This study constitutes not only an intervention in the larger debate on the relationship between state formations and tribal peoples but also on the very nature of history as a knowledge practice especially the understandings of power authority and sovereignty in it. Combining intensive ethnography complementary archival work and crucial theoretical questions engaging social scientists worldwide the author charts an unusual explanatory path that can allow us to obtain a meaningful understanding of societies/peoples that have historically been marginalized and seen as different.

Narrating Nomadism Tales of Recovery and Resistance

Narrating Nomadism Tales of Recovery and Resistance

Narrating Nomadism provides an unflinching account of ethnic groups and nomadic communities across the world that were branded as ‘criminal’ during colonial times. It explores the tragic effect of the new identity imposed on them the traumatic survival of these communities and cultures and the creative expression of this experience in their arts and literature in the form of resistance. Presenting specific contexts and locations of cultural devastation in history the volume traces colonial social imagination as such showing how the grossly misperceived non-sedentary communities in the colonies were subjected to the mission of ‘settling’ them. The essays presented here document these alternative histories from perspectives ranging from literary criticism and art history to ethnography and socio-linguistics highlighting in what ways different nomadic communities negotiate discrimination and challenge in contemporary times while finding remarkable convergence in their local histories and collective testimonies. This anthology opens up a new area in postcolonial studies as well as cultural anthropology by bringing the viewpoint of marginalized communities and their cultural rights to bear upon history society and culture. It places an activist’s ‘view from below’ at the centre of literary interpretation engages with oral history more substantially than folklore studies usually do and brings together several historical narratives hitherto unexplored. This will be essential for students of anthropology sociology cultural studies history linguistics post-colonial studies literature and tribal studies as well as the general reader. | Narrating Nomadism Tales of Recovery and Resistance

Beyond Macaulay Education in India 1780–1860

Beyond Macaulay provides a radical and comprehensive history of Indian education in the early colonial era — from the establishment of the Calcutta Madrasa in 1780 until the end of the East India Company’s rule and the beginning of the administration by the crown in 1860. The book challenges the conventional theory that the British administration imposed English language and modern education on Indians. Based on rich archival evidence it critically explores data on 16 000 indigenous schools and shows that indigenous education was not oral informal and Brahmin-centric but written formal and egalitarian. The author highlights the educational policies of the colonial state and the way it actively opposed the introduction of modern education and privileged Brahmins. By including hitherto unused 41 Educational Minutes of Macaulay the volume examines his educational ideas and analyses why the colonial state closed down every school established by him. It also contrasts the educational ideas of the British elites and the Orientalists with dissenting Scottish voices. The book discusses post-Macaulayan educational policies and the Wood’s Despatch of 1854 as well as educational institutions during the revolt of 1857. It covers indigenous education in Sanskrit Persian Arabic and modern Indian vernaculars the impact of the colonial policies on these schools and traces the history of education in Bengal North India and Madras and Bombay Presidencies as also the role of caste and religion in society.
