Passions of the Tongue: Language Devotion in Tamil India, 1891-1970 Volume 29 Paperback - 1997 - 1st Edition
by Sumathi Ramaswamy
From the rear cover
"An important and original book providing a completely new perspective on the intellectual and cultural history of southern India. . . . Sumathi Ramaswamy has both produced a major work of comparative history and made the finest scholarly contribution to the intellectual and cultural history of modern Tamil Nadu to date."--Nicholas B. Dirks, author of The Hollow Crown
"The most thorough account of the history of the symbolic profusion of a language--any language--I have ever read . . . The scholarship is extraordinary, and Ramaswamy is quite likely the most knowledgeable on this subject in the whole of India--nay, the world."--E. Valentine Daniel, author of Charred Lullabies: Chapters in an Anthropography of Violence
