Extract:
"What made Pandian’s academic enquiries and concerns distinct and different from those of several academicians and intellectuals in this field?..... If the Aryan Brahmins were uncivilized, how could they exercise near complete hegemony over the Tamil society?.... While I draw substantially on these critiques of the Cambridge school, I have a slightly different and a limited agenda in this paper: I intend problematizing the Cambridge school’s silencing of political subjectivities based on identities such as class, caste, gender and language, in the specific context of their writings on the Dravidian movement(s)."
