A short video series about the saints of Madras by Padmapriya T S.
Madras is an amalgam of several ancient villages that date back before the city was born. During Madras week every year, we touch upon primarily the British history, or the local heritage. I thought it is significant to also speak about the various saints who walked Madras through short youtube videos that can be accessed at convenience. These videos will be uploaded on my youtube channel – Padmapriya T S – (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVR2mXE-Sa2OrX4mlKhtq4w?view_as=subscriber ). A neighbourhood based approach will be used for this series – the first video to be launched this week is on the saints of Mylapore. This will be followed by Tiruvotriyur, Velachery, Tiruvanmiyur and the rest of Madras.
Padmapriya Baskaran is a Cost and Management Accountant by training and heads a UK based NGO. She is a heritage blogger, who blogs at Aalayam Kanden (https://aalayamkanden.blogspot.in), passionate about creating awareness on lesser-known heritage sites. She has founded the Aalayam Kanden Trust in 2011 through which she has carried out several heritage documentation and cultural cartography projects. For two and a half years, she researched heritage sites along the Cooum river to bring respect and visibility to it with the objective that if people knew the river better, they would treat it better. This study resulted in a publication titled God’s of the Holy Koovam in 2017. She conducts walks and speaks on various heritage topics.

இந்திய சுதந்திரத்துக்கு முன்பே மொழிவாரி மாநிலங்களுக்கான கோரிக்கை எழத் தொடங்கி விட்டன. பிரிட்டிஷ் ஆட்சிக்காலத்திலேயே மன்னரும் மக்களும் இணைந்து கோரிக்கை வைத்ததால், 1936 ஏப்ரல் 1 அன்று இந்திய நிர்வாகச் சட்டத்தின் கீழ், அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக ஒரியா மொழி பேசும் மக்களுக்காக, இந்திய வரலாற்றில் மொழிவழி மாநிலமாக முதலில் உதயமானது ஒரிசா (தற்போதை ஒடிசா). விடுதலைக்குப் பின் இக்கோரிக்கை பரவலாகவும் வலுவாகவும் எழுந்ததன் அடிப்படையில் அது குறித்து ஆராய மத்திய அரசால் 1948 இல் எஸ்.கே. தார் என்பவர் தலைமையில் ஓர் ஆணையம் (Dhar commission) அமைக்கப்பட்டது.
இச்சூழலில் தனி ஆந்திர கோரிக்கையை வலியுறுத்தி பொட்டி ஸ்ரீராமுலு, 58 நாட்கள் உண்ணாவிரதமிருந்து 1952 டிசம்பர் 15 அன்று உயிர் நீத்தார். இதனால் கொந்தளிப்பான சூழல் உருவானது. இந்நிலையில், 1953 அக்டோபர் 1ஆம் தேதி சுதந்திர இந்தியாவின் முதல் மொழிவாரி மாநிலமாக ஆந்திரம் அறிவிக்கப்பட்டது. உடனே ஆந்திரத்தின் தலைநகராக சென்னையை அறிவிக்க வேண்டும் என்ற கோரிக்கையை வலியுறுத்தி “மதராஸ் மனதே” என்ற போராட்டத்தை ஆந்திரத் தலைவர்கள் மேற்கொண்டனர். அப்போது சிலம்புச் செல்வர் ம.பொ.சி “தலையை கொடுத்தேனும் தலைநகரை காப்போம்” என்ற முழக்கத்தை முன்வைத்து, சென்னையை தமிழகத்தில் தக்கவைக்க போராடினார். தமிழகம் சென்னையை தக்கவைத்துக் கொண்டாலும், போராட்டம் முடிந்துவிடவில்லை. தமிழகத்தின் பல்வேறு பகுதிகளை அண்டை மாநிலங்களுக்கு தாரை வார்க்க வேண்டிய இக்கட்டான சூழல். இது குறித்து உரையாடுகிறார் முனைவர் T. பரமேசுவரி.
முனைவர் தி. பரமேசுவரி: சிலம்புச் செல்வர் ம.பொ.சியின் பெயர்த்தி; தமிழாசிரியர், இலக்கியவாதி, பெண்ணியவாதி என்ற பல அடையாளங்களுக்கு சொந்தக்காரர். கலை இலக்கியப் பேரவை விருது, பாலா விருது, அன்னம் விருது பெற்றிருக்கின்றார். கலை இலக்கியப் பெருமன்றத்தின் மாநிலச் செயலாளர்.
