It is based on literary works published by the Tamil Muslims from 1835, when restrictions on printing were removed, to 1920, when they participated in the pan-Islamic Khilafat movement. The author has systematically classified these works in the form of an exhaustive catalogue. By extension, the study of this literature becomes a study of the origins, society, and identity of the Tamil Muslims.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA survey of Tamil Muslim literature before the print era, and a brief history of print culture and its introduction into the Indian sub-continent form the groundwork of the research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author argues that print consolidated the Islamic identity of the Tamil Muslims despite its modernist influence, but it also raised controversies between reformists, influenced by Western education, and the traditional ulemas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis inquiry into a relatively unexplored area, sustained by rich empirical evidence, offers a unique perspective into the history and society of the Muslims of Tamil Nadu.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eACKNOWLEDGEMENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABBREVIATIONS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART I: TAMIL MUSLIM ORIGIN AND LITERATURE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWho Were the Tamil Muslims\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTamil Muslim Literature before 1835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTamil Muslim Printed Literature after 1835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART II: PRINT CULTURE AMONG THE TAMIL MUSLIMS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrint History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObstacles to the Adoption of Printing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDebates and Controversies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART III: MUSLIMS AND DRAVIDIANS UP TO THE 196S\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHindu Role in social Reforms among Muslims\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuslims and Dravidians: Strains and Frictions Conclusions and Observations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPPENDIX I\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPPENDIX II\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBIBLIOGRAPHY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINDEX\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"J B P More \/ Orient Longman \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153588023664,"sku":"14258","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/14258.jpg?v=1793911388","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/muslim-identity-print-culture-and-the-dravidian-factor-in-tamil-nadu","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
