OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The DMK today is restoring two central tenets of movements for justice in Peninsular India. The first is the central principle of the Justice Party, which connects the self with respect through the idea of swayam mariyatai. Mariyatai has been a crucial part of Tamil history since at least the Chola period, and sees its major expression in temple honors in Tamil history. Temples were also the primary basis of cultural connectivity between what are today the states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka. In both these regards, the Justice Party and today’s DMK draw on a vital tradition which makes justice and respect crucial elements of a wider Dravidian geography.
