A Grand Tamil Dream
A Grand Tamil Dream - C. N. Annadurai
A Grand Tamil Dream by C. N. Annadurai is a landmark work that articulates the aspirations, struggles, and cultural pride of the Tamil people through the voice of one of the region’s most visionary leaders. Known as "Anna" (elder brother) by millions, Annadurai was a powerful orator, reformist, and founder of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), whose ideas reshaped Tamil Nadu's political and social landscape. This book presents Annadurai’s dream of a society built on self-respect, social justice, and linguistic identity, challenging caste hierarchies and the dominance of northern cultural norms. With sharp wit and persuasive logic, he champions Tamil as a classical language, advocates for regional autonomy, and dreams of a Dravidian land free from oppression. More than a political statement, A Grand Tamil Dream is a cultural manifesto, urging readers to rediscover the richness of Tamil heritage and embrace rationalism, equality, and pride in one’s identity. It is essential reading for those interested in Indian politics, regional movements, or South Asian cultural history. Whether you're a student, a history enthusiast, or someone exploring Tamil roots, this book remains a bold and relevant vision of empowerment and progress.
