| Summary/Abstract |
The influential Tamil writer Pudumaippittan turned to the short story to theorise the relationship between literature and society in the late colonial era. He used the genre’s brevity to compress his portrayals of well-known female types—such as widows, prostitutes and goodwives—into singular emotional events. This enabled Pudumaippittan to evoke the wider debates about tradition and modernity that these female types commonly represented without affirming the social reformist positions to which they were linked. Through the short story, Pudumaippittan dislodged his portrayals of the Indian woman from existing gender norms, prompting a shift from social realism to modernist realism within the Tamil literary sphere.

| Summary/Abstract |
During the mid to late 1980s tens of thousands of Tamils from Sri Lanka sought and got asylum in Canada, forging the basis of the sizeable diaspora today. The Canadian state granted overwhelmingly positive decisions to Tamil refugee claimants based on evidence that the Government of Sri Lanka colluded in systematic violence against and killing of Tamil civilians who were not part of the militant separatist rebel group known as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). Canada continues to accept a majority of Tamil asylum seekers today, and hosts diaspora geopolitics – a less state-centric politics among diaspora members – ‘from below’.

| Summary/Abstract |
The powerful shadow cast by the Dravidian movement on its very scholarship has meant that the focus of scholarly attention has been on the recent, institutional and secular history of the movement, with scant attention paid to its earlier religious roots. While the important role played by the pioneer Neo-Saivite elites has been noted, there have been few attempts to understand or theorise either the significance of this Neo-Saivite factor or the strategies and methods through which the Neo-Saivite revivalists fashioned and articulated a form of non-Brahmin Tamil nationalism. This paper seeks to address this lacuna by examining the largely untapped accounts of the Neo-Saivite movement written by orthodox Saivite contemporaries, who were highly critical of the movement and sought to expose both its deviation from 'true' Saivism and its political agenda. It is these criticisms of the Neo-Saivites that best illuminate how Saivism was deployed for a Dravidian and non-Brahmin Tamil nationalist project. The paper also argues that it is through a critical study of the Neo-Saivite movement that we can adequately address the question of the social base of the Dravidian movement, which has long continued to haunt its scholarship.
