The Dravidian Movement, a pioneering book by Robert L. Hardgrave Jr, which offers insight into the formative years of the movement, is ready for a fresh release after a gap of 57 years.
The book was based on material he gathered in India for his 1962 Master’s Thesis. First published in 1965 by Mumbai-based Popular Prakashan, the book has been out of print for many years. The Tamil Nadu Textbook and Educational Services Corporation has acquired the copyright for it.
“Chief Minister M.K. Stalin will release it soon,” said Sankara Saravanan, deputy director of the corporation.
