Selected Works of Sri Chattambi Swamikal - Paperback

by Jagathsimhan Nair (Author)

About the book

This is a translation of just four of the many works of Sri Chattambi Swamikal. SwamiJI was a revered sage and scholar who lived more than a century ago and is considered one of the earliest crusaders against social injustice in Kerala. The four works included are among the most important of all his works. If one is against the caste system of the time, the next one deals with the importance of the role women play in society. The third one deals with the quality of compassion and stresses on the need for practicing non-violence. The last one is a scathing attack on the myths manufactured and propagated by the powerful in society in order to retain their hegemony in the social order. All the topics are still relevant in the society and therefore deserve to be read by one and all.
