In this issue

April 2015 Issue no 184. Leader of the Dravida Kazhagam, K. Veeramani recently issued a statement wherein he was self critical of the Dravidian movement for the lack of decorum and niceties between political leadership of Tamil Nadu. In our special section we have asked a range of intellectuals to comment on the statement, with surprising results. Stalin Rajangam article on Honour killings in Tamil Nadu especially in the context of marriage between Dalit and caste Hindu's questions the political and intellectual silence on this issue. Kannan writes on the attack on Puliyur Muirugesan by Kongu Vellalar caste organisations for hurting their sentiments. Lavanya Sundarrajan compares the much maligned Temple mating festival ritual mentioned in Maathorubagan and the modern day fertility clinic and questions the hypocracy of the cultural, religious and caste guardians. Short story by Vimalathitha Mamalan, translations, poetry, and columns enrich the cultural section. This issue includes obituaries for Vinod Mehta, Ki.Pi. Aravindan and Ravi Vyas.
