Description
Of the 11 articles in the book, two are on historical perspectives and current happenings in Tamil Nadu. Contrasts between the past and the present are discussed. The remaining 9 articles discuss how the Indian Government blacks out, minimally covers and/or distorts the history of Tamil Nadu in its text books, and how significant archeological finds in Tamil Nadu are swept under the rug. “Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.” wrote George Orwell. My interpretation of George Orwell's quote is that: if you control the present government, you write the past history to suit your purposes and thus shape the minds of future generations who read it and thus control the future itself.
