Reading History with the Tamil Jainas
Author: R. UmamaheshwariPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 8132237560
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
This book provides a social history of the Tamil Jainas, a minority community living in Tamil Nadu in south India. It holds special significance in the method of studying the community, living in villages of Tamil Nadu and retrieving their perspectives on their past. This is a new approach in terms of historiography from extant works on Jainism in south India. A major feature of this book is the hitherto uncovered aspect of the question of language and identity, caste and the modern socio-political movements in Tamil Nadu, such as the Self-Respect Movement (initiated by ‘Periyar’), in which some Tamil Jainas were active participants. Special features in the book include photographs of the community and monuments, maps, and a unique style, which combines a journalistic approach and academic historical research. This book is of interest to readers of Tamil language and history, and to anyone working on the idea of politics of marginalisation of religious identities, ide as of memory, and community narratives of shared history in the face of religious persecution.

Author: Re-ending the Mahabharata
Author: Naama ShalomPublisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 1438465017
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Offers a fresh perspective on the Mah?bh?rata based on an exploration of its ending, the Svarg?roha?a parvan. This book challenges two prevalent assumptions about the Mah?bh?rata: that its narrativeis inherently incapable of achieving a conclusion and that its ending, the Svarg?roha?a parvan, is an extraneous part of the text. While the exegetic traditions have largely tended to suppress, ignore, or overlook the importance of this final section, Shalom argues that the moment of the condemnation of dharma that occurs in the Svarg?roha?a parvan, expressed by the epic protagonist, Yudhi??hira, against his father, Dharma, is of crucial importance. It sheds light on the incessant preoccupation and intrinsic dismay towards the concept of dharma (the cardinal theme around which the epic revolves) expressed by Mah?bh?rata narrators throughout the epic, and is thus highly significant for understanding the Mah?bh?rata narrative as a whole.
