Dravidian Maya – Volume 1 & 2

Dravidian Maya – Vol. 1: Lies Deception and Collaboration

“Dravidian Maya” throws fresh light on the political events on the southern part of India between 1917 and 1944 with special reference to how a movement purportedly started to erase the social inequities, elbowed itself into the seat of political power.

Dravidian Maya: Decision, Division and Destiny

Dravidian Maya – Volume 2, is not a dense academic tome but an episodic, accessible archive. Its strength lies in specifics—dates, pamphlets, speeches, police actions—that make it quotable and invaluable in public debate. Its weakness is an occasional overreach in imputing motives and underplaying deeper currents such as agrarian change, caste federations, and federal bargains. But its granularity outweighs these limits.
