Book Description
Tamil Nadu – where there are more temples than pharmacies, where the language is older than Sanskrit, where atheists have ruled for half a century provided they were atheists from the right caste. Tamil Nadu, where the young population is ripe for a revolution. At least this is what Nanban thinks, coming from the hub of Mumbai and well-versed in its Machiavellian political ways, he plans to shake things up. His meeting with Veerappan Gounder, who took a bit hit in the last election, seems like his chance to challenge the Tamil status quo. Together they embark on a campaign where no ideal is too high and no action too dastardly to get what Nanban wants – but at what price. V Sanjay Kumar weaves a political thriller as compelling as it is incisive, about the human factor and the vested interests that spark change and about an Indian state which is older than time and just as stubborn.

Book Description
What is the role of language in ethnic churches? This new and much needed account of the Australian experience examines the issues faced by sixteen congregations, together representing different periods of Australia's migration history, as well as different languages, cultural backgrounds and Christian denominations. It brings to light a large range of experiences found in ethnic churches, and considers the impact of Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox traditions on the role of language. Special reference is made to the tensions that can occur due to language shift and cross-generational differences in language preference. The concept of 'language-religion ideology' is developed to describe the nature of the relationship between language and religion which is exhibited by a denomination with far-reaching implications for multilingual and multicultural societies.

Tamil Hindus 2000 Years Ago!
Author: London Swaminathan
Publisher: Pustaka Digital Media
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
This book is a sequel to my earlier publication Hinduism in Sangam Literature. I am continuing the topic ‘Tamil Hindu Encyclopedia’ from part 16. Hinduism was practiced in day-to-day life with great enthusiasm. It is very visible in the 2000 year old Sangam poems. According to historians, the Puranas took the current shape in the Gupta Age. But Sangam poems are earlier than that. If it is the correct dating, then the first evidence for several Puranic anecdotes come from Sangam literature. It is amazing to see that the southern most part of India had practiced Hinduism in minute detail with great enthusiasm.

Tracing Manuscripts in Time and Space through Paratexts
Author: Giovanni Ciotti
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 311047753X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
As records of the link between a manuscript and the texts it contains, paratexts document many aspects of a manuscript’s life: production, transmission, usage, and reception. Comprehensive studies of paratexts are still rare in the field of manuscript studies, and the universal categories of time and space are used to create a common frame for research and comparisons. Contributions in this volume span over three continents and one millennium.
