It holds special significance in the method of studying the community, living in villages of Tamil Nadu and retrieving their perspectives on their past. This is a new approach in terms of historiography from extant works on Jainism in south India. A major feature of this book is the hitherto uncovered aspect of the question of language and identity, caste and the modern socio-political movements in Tamil Nadu, such as the Self-Respect Movement (initiated by ‘Periyar’), in which some Tamil Jainas were active participants. Special features in the book include photographs of the community and monuments, maps, and a unique style, which combines a journalistic approach and academic historical research. This book is of interest to readers of Tamil language and history, and to anyone working on the idea of politics of marginalisation of religious identities, ide.as of memory, and community narratives of shared history in the face of religious persecution. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | | 关键词 | Diganmabara Jainas; Indian atheistic traditions; community identity and marginalisation; the dialogue b | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-81-322-3756-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-81-322-3903-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-81-322-3756-3Series ISSN 2211-1107 Series E-ISSN 2211-1115 | | issn_series | 2211-1107 | | copyright | Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla 2017 |
