Soft cover. Condición: New. What if India were imagined not as a monolithic, Sanskritic civilisation, but as a richly plural, evolving, and contested political community? Dravidianism offers a powerful challenge to dominant narratives that define India through Brahminical Hinduism or the political theology of Hindutva. Drawing on more than a century of political, intellectual, and social history in Tamil Nadu, it reclaims Dravidianism as one of the most vital democratic traditions of modern India and offers a radically inclusive way of reimagining the nation—one that has never been more urgent or necessary. This collection of incisive essays by leading scholars demonstrates that Dravidianism emerged as an internal critique of caste hierarchy and Brahminical privilege, seeking to democratise Indian society while preserving its cultural and religious diversity. From the Justice Party and Periyar's Self-Respect Movement to the rise of the DMK and AIADMK, it traces the evolution of a movement that transformed Tamil Nadu through constitutional politics, social reform, linguistic assertion, and democratic mobilisation. Spanning the Aryan-Dravidian debate, anti-caste struggles, language politics, federalism, cinema, sovereignty, and post-independence state formation, the essays reveal how Dravidianism evolved into a counter-hegemonic tradition that has consistently resisted hierarchy without embracing violence or majoritarian nationalism, nurturing instead an enduring ethos of pluralism, social justice, and state autonomy within the Indian Union. At a time when divisive visions of India dominate public discourse, this volume invites readers to imagine an alternative nation—one strengthened not by uniformity, but by difference, diversity, and democratic coexistence. A must-read for everyone invested in India's future as a secular, inclusive polity.…

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has been singular in heralding and establishing a firm regional polity among the Indian states after the Indian Union was inaugurated as a republic. Academic scholarship has often treated the DMK as a Tamil nationalist or ethno-nationalist formation without conceptual clarity or critical insight. Rule of the Commoner demonstrates with persuasive evidence that the DMK appealed to a federalist and not nationalist imagination. The DMK's combining of the non-Brahmin Dravidian identity and allegiance to Tamil language led to a counter hegemonic formation of the plebes and left populism. Drawing on Ernesto Laclau, the book argues that the DMK achieved the construction of a people as Dravidian-Tamil, with Tamil being the empty signifier of the social whole, Brahmin vs. non-Brahmin divide functioning as the internal frontier leading to the formations of the political. It elaborates the conceptual scheme under the three rubrics of Ideation, Imagination and Mobilization. The plebian democratic mobilization effected by the DMK in Tamil Nadu was unique in many ways. In eighteen years, it managed to establish the Dravidian rule in Tamil Nadu. The book conceptually recaptures the party's growth under the twin rubrics of 'construction of a people' and 'formations of the political'.
