Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. In mid-January 2017, the Tamil Nadu witnessed mass protests throughout the State, demanding the restoration of the martial bull-taming sport of Jallikattu, a cultural tradition, banned for several years by the Supreme Court of India. For the first time since the anti-Hindi agitation of the Nineteen Sixties, southern Tamil Nadu witnessed a similar kind of public frenzy of peaceful consolidation as never before. But with a singular difference. Unlike the anti-Hindi agitation in the State or any other popular protest elsewhere in the country post-Independence, there was no readily identifiable organiser or leaders for the 'Restore Jallikattu' protests. It was not just about the sport alone, but more about what the Tamil people felt was an 'increasing and deliberate' alienation of their interests-by the Centre, the neighbouring States, their own Tamil Nadu government and polity-with adequate judicial attestation. This book analyses the issues and causes of such alienation, starting with how an inadequate understanding of the cultural significance and contemporary relevance of Jallikattu led to a Constitutional impasse. But it goes beyond it, too, defining the 'Tamil angst' in black and white.

Although the ceasefire agreement of February 2002 between the government in Colombo and the LTTE has helped bring down temperatures a permanent political settlement remains at best a hope with more complexities entering the arena with each passing day. To take stock of the situation and to draw lessons for the future the Chennai chapter of the Observer Research Foundation organised an International Seminar on Sri Lanka Ceasefire and After in September 2003. Two years have passed since. Yet the prognosis for the future made at the time remains more valid than ever. The book gives new insights into an existing problem the contours of which have not changed much. The interplay of domestic politics sub continental relevance and the increasing international interest in the Indian ocean neighbourhood coupled with the post 9/11 global view of terrorism have contributed to this continued interest in the evolving situation in Sri Lanka. A product of collective wisdom this book aims at addressing these issues as comprehensively and as extensively as possible. 335 pp.
