  • The Dravidian Pathway: How the DMK Redefined Power and Identity in South India

    The Dravidian Pathway: How the DMK Redefined Power and Identity in South India
    2025/10/26
    How did a transformative socio-cultural movement become an electorally successful political force? To answer this question, we have with us Vignesh Rajahmani. In his book, ‘The Dravidian Pathway’, he illustrates how the Dravidian movement transformed into an electorally viable political party, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). We also explore the ideas of the Dravidian-Tamil ethos, key agitations led by the DMK, the foundational role of Periyar and the Self-Respect movement, the importance of reading rooms, the language question, and moreReferences:Vignesh Rajahmani: Biography, LinkedIn, X, Instagram The Dravidian Pathway: How the DMK Redefined Power and Identity in South India by Vignesh RajahmaniInclusive growth in Tamil Nadu: The role of political leadership and governance by Kartik Akileswaran and Luca GraziadeiComparative Grammar of the Dravidian or South Indian Family of Languages by Robert CaldwellTamil Nadu’s new assembly in 33 charts: Lowest women representation in 25 years, OBCs dominate by Gilles Verniers, Vignesh Karthik KR, Mohit Kumar and Neelesh AgrawalThe glossary for addressing the LGBTQIA+ Community by the Social Welfare and Women Empowerment Department, Government of Tamil NaduThe Caste System in Tamil Nadu by K.K.

  • Anti-Colonialism, Anarchism, and M.P.T. Acharya

    Anti-Colonialism, Anarchism, and M.P.T. Acharya
    2025/09/10

    In 1908, an Indian revolutionary from Madras arrived in Marseille, France, and later travelled to Paris, London, Lisbon, New York, Berlin, and Russia with two main objectives: to unveil the brutality of British colonialism and to reject the idea of the universalisation of the nation-state. He made significant contributions to our understanding of resistance to oppression in all its forms, as embodied by the nation-state. He was one of India’s most prominent anarchist activists and theoreticians, M.P.T. Acharya. To explain his life trajectory and the various themes that have shaped it, we are in conversation with historian Ole Birk Laursen.
