Guest guest Posted November 6, 1995 Report Share Posted November 6, 1995 Adi-drvida is a term I have heard. DMK usesd to use Dravida for the same, thogh it connotated everybody except brhamins. Another term used for still lower clas was Pariyan. As a general interest, I reccommend the book "India, a land of muillion mutinies " by Naipal. It is a list of narratives about people Naipaul met there. The narratives of interest are of Kausthan, an Iyengar in Triplicane, A DMK memeber in Madras and an astrolger Iyer in Madras. It vividly points out their prespectives of life in Modern India. The others are about similar lives elsewhere in India. Surprisingly, I was able to trace Kakusthan in Triplicane (psudonym in the book ). Krish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
