Periyar, Dravidian movement and Tamil identity questtion
– Vidya Bhushan Rawat
(Samaj Weekly)- Sharing here this conversation of mine with Thiru S V Rajadurai, a noted Tamil scholar on Periyar, Dravidian movement and Tamil identity question. Mr Rajadurai has been actively involved in the human rights and left movement in Tamilnadu. Ofcourse, his association with Periyar and his ideology started since his student days when he got an opportunity to share the platform with Periyar. He has translated international work into Tamil as well as written numerous articles in English and Tamil. That apart, his work on Periyar and Dravidian movements are considered to be classic and highly popular among the common people.
This conversation was recorded at his home in the foothills of Nilgiris near Coimbatore in Tamilnadu on July 15th, 2023. Kindly share this with other like minded friends and colleagues if you feel it worthy. Your comments too are welcome.
