"...The rediscovery of the Cankam
works and the revival of Tamil language and literature revealed
the richness and antiquity of Tamil culture which was proclaimed
to be distinct from and superior to northern Sanskrit-Aryan
culture. Along with this cultural awakening came a new sense of
Dravidian self-consciousness and cultural pride..."

*Eugene F. Irschick -
Dialogue and History: Constructing South India, 1795-1895,1994
"Eugene Irschick deftly questions the
conventional wisdom that knowledge about a colonial culture is
unilaterally defined by its rulers. Focusing on
nineteenth-century South India, he demonstrates that a society's
view of its history results from a "dialogic process" involving
all its constituencies. For centuries, agricultural life in
South India was semi-nomadic. But when the British took
dominion, they sought to stabilize the region by inventing a
Tamil "golden age" of sedentary, prosperous villages. Irschick
shows that this construction resulted not from overt British
manipulation but from an intricate cross-pollination of both
European and native ideas. He argues that the Tamil played a
critical role in constructing their past and thus shaping their
future. And British administrators adapted local customs to
their own uses."

"... The general
conclusion I draw from European history is that no one power is strong enough to rule all
the rest. Therefore the sensible thing (i.e. what the sense of history indicates) is some
federal system that may enable us to work together in co-operation. On the basis of a
knowledge of history we can look into the nearer future and see something of the shape of
things that is emerging. And that knowledge is the best aid to knowing what we can
usefully achieve in our turn…"
