The A to Z of the Tamils

Informationen zum Autor Vijaya Ramaswamy is professor at the Centre for Historical Studies in the School of Social Sciences at Jawaharlal Nehru University. Klappentext The A to Z of the Tamils presents a vivid picture of the Tamils' cultural and literary traditions, both the historic past and the vibrant present. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, black and white photos, maps, and over 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries covering Tamil history from the megalithic age to present day and Tamil personalities, economics, literature, music, politics, and cinema. This one-volume reference is an excellent entry point into a deeper understanding of the cultural milieu of the Tamils.
