Passions of the Tongue, Volume 29: Language Devotion in Tamil India, 1891-1970 by Sumathi Ramaswamy
4.0
Good. I understand a great deal more about the politics of language in general, as well as in South India. While I believe the Tamilians proved themselves by serious sacrifice to their language, their actions do not seem unique to me compared with other language minorities seeking political acknowledgement (and more) for their language and related values. The difference is that they actually succeeded instead of dying out or continuing to grow endangered.
