INTRODUCTION: THE POLITICS
OF THE EMERGENT

‘Names set up a field of power.’—Michel-Rolph Trouillot1

In 1916 a group of prominent nationalists from the Madras Presidency, led by

T.M. Nair and Pitti Theagaraya Chetti, broke ranks with the Indian National
Congress and issued a controversial document called the ‘Non-Brahmin
Manifesto’. Their Manifesto argued that Indians were not yet ready for self-
rule, and if the British granted self-rule to Indians it would result in the tyranny
of Brahmins over others. Though Brahmins constituted about 3 per cent of the
population of the Madras Presidency, their presence in the colonial
bureaucracy, in modern professions such as law, and in the leadership of the
Indian National Congress was preponderant and highly visible.
Provocative in its claims, the Manifesto stirred a variety of moods in the
public, within Madras and elsewhere. Dismay and anger were the dominant
moods in the nationalist camp. In the understanding of nationalists, such talk
of ‘the non-Brahmin’ was a result of the British strategy of ‘divide and rule’, a
deliberate move to fragment the putative unity of the Indian national
community. The Manifesto also evoked surprise in many quarters, and those
who expressed surprise directed it at the invocation of a hitherto unavailable
political identity—the non-Brahmin. For, while it was true that the term non-
Brahmin had been used occasionally since the late nineteenth century in the
Madras Presidency, a manifesto—a declarative modern form of announcing a
political intent—in the name of the non-Brahmin symbolized desires of a
different order altogether. The intention was clearly to mobilize non-Brahmin
identity as the basis of a new form of politics. After all, a manifesto represents
a group to itself and invites similarly placed others to partake in its identity.2
The Manifesto invoked the term ‘non-Brahmin’ a full thirty times, as though
repeating a self-evident truth.3 Yet it could not produce the truth of the non-
Brahmin unambiguously. There were sceptics who doubted its validity, and they
had their reasons. For instance, the Times of India commented on the
Manifesto thus:

To begin with, there is no such community as the non-Brahman of

which Mr [Pitti Theagaraya] Chettiar or any other individual may be
regarded as an accredited representative. The very word non-
Brahman shows that the only common ground among the
 communities which are meant to be included in it, is that they are
not Brahmana. No one who knows the bitter feuds between the
right hand and left hand non- Brahman castes of Madras will
accept the implication underlying Mr Chettiar’s manifesto that the
non-Brahmans are a single, homogeneous group, capable of
common or united action, even as against the social and religious
supremacy of the Brahminical caste.4

Clearly, non-Brahmin identity was not yet in the realm of the acceptable and
could be represented as an illegitimate fabrication, a political fiction. In fact the
Manifesto itself carried strong traces of an awareness of the relative novelty of
a non-Brahmin identity. As much as it spoke of non-Brahmins, it also referred
to non-Brahmin communities in the plural, and, in one instance, it had to name
some of them—‘The Chetty, the Komati, the Mudaliar, the Naidu, and the Nayar
. . .’5 In other words, non-Brahmin was not yet an accomplished identity. It
was in the process of becoming.
Others, in particular Brahmin nationalists, tried to prevent the
materialization of non-Brahmin identity by excluding it from public discourse.
Commenting on the Manifesto, the Brahmin-owned nationalist newspaper The
Hindu claimed: ‘It can serve no good but it is bound to create bad blood
between persons belonging to the same great Indian Community . . .’ It further
declared: ‘We do not wish to open our correspondence column to a discussion
on this subject, as it cannot but lead to acrimonious controversy and as it
would indirectly promote the invidious object of some of those who are
engineering the movement.’6 The Non-Brahmin, one of the newspapers
published by the Justice Party—a party founded on the basis of the Manifesto—
retorted: ‘Let the scoffers come to scoff . . . When the Pacific Ocean
community . . . is moving, it moves with a force that is irresistible.’7 The Non-
Brahmin was proved right. Soon The Hindu had to open its columns to discuss
and criticize claims made on the basis of non-Brahmin identity.
If The Hindu’s resolve to shut out the non-Brahmin from its pages was
short-lived, the Times of India’s scepticism towards the validity of non-
Brahmin identity was dissipated over time. The business of politics proved to
be a way of doing things with what was not yet. In 1931 the Census
Commissioner for Madras, M.W.M. Yeatts, proposed that since the ‘Political
tendency [in the Madras Presidency] is to deal only in broad classifications,
Brahmans, depressed classes, other Hindus . . . some such classification should
be considered at future censuses . . . Instructions could easily be given to
enumerators to enter only the categories Brahman and non-Brahman. If it was
desired to retain separate figures for depressed classes, they could be added
and also primitive tribes . . .’8 Yeatts’s suggestion signals the materialization of
non-Brahmin identity within official political taxonomy. Yet it took several
more decades of intense conflict and negotiation for non-Brahmin identity to
normalize itself in Tamil-speaking South India.
The phase of uncertainty about non-Brahmin identity has now indubitably
passed. Anyone acquainted with the politics of contemporary Tamil Nadu, this
post-Independence Indian state carved out of the Madras Presidency in 1957,
will know that the categories Brahmin and non-Brahmin possess a normal
presence in the region and have in fact reconfigured the landscape of political
possibilities and constraints. The account of Balakumaran, a Tamil fiction
writer, about his friend’s first encounter with communists within a study group
in Madras is instructive in this context:
He was asked, ‘There are two classes in the world. Let us see if you
can identify them.’
‘What is class?’, he wondered.
‘There are two castes in the world. Can you tell what they are?’
‘One is Brahmin; the other non-Brahmin.’
Laughter [in the room] shook the tin-roof.9

The categories Brahmin and non-Brahmin thus carry a seemingly self-evident

validity, framing the way one thinks, feels, and does things in Tamil Nadu. It is
equally significant that they make sense only within a framework of mutual
opposition and antagonism. In his Preface to The Brahmin in the Tamil Country,
N. Subramanian notes: ‘I know I run some risk in writing this book. There will
be people willing to call me “a renegade writing an anti-brahminical work” and
others . . . “a communalist issuing a brahminical pamphlet”. ’10 The risk
envisaged by Subramanian involves his making any statement about the
imagined or real non-availability of political ground outside the opposition
between Brahmin and non-Brahmin in contemporary Tamil Nadu.
The consequences of conducting politics around the polar identities of
Brahmin and non-Brahmin over the past eight decades are, in the Tamil region,
equally significant and substantial. Let me briefly give a few pointers from the
post-Independence period to illustrate this: (1) The first amendment to the
Indian constitution, introducing Article 15(4) in 1951, which ensured the
reservation of seats for non-Brahmins in educational institutions and
government jobs, was a result of agitations in Madras state against a Supreme
Court judgment; (2) The first ever Indian state not to have a Brahmin in its
ministry was Madras state under the chiefministership of K. Kamaraj in 1954.
Interestingly Kamaraj, who belonged to a formerly Untouchable caste, was
heading a Congress Party ministry. By the 1950s even the leadership of the
nationalist Congress Party, which was dominated by Brahmins during the
colonial period, had passed to the hands of non-Brahmins; (3) By the 1970s
both ruling and opposition spaces in Tamil Nadu politics came to be occupied
by parties claiming allegiance to non-Brahmin interests. This is a feature which
continues to mark the state’s politics till today and shows no sign of changing
in the near future; (4) In August 1990, when V.P. Singh as Prime Minister of
India announced 27 per cent reservations for the Backward Castes in
government jobs, North India witnessed large-scale agitations by the upper
castes. But the Tamil Nadu state assembly passed a resolution on 21 August
1990 welcoming the announcement. The resolution was printed by the state
government for public circulation; (5) Rightwing Hindu organizations that
oppose reservations for non-Brahmin castes in education and government jobs
at the all-India level support such reservations in Tamil Nadu. To oppose
reservations in the state would be to risk their already minuscule hold in the
state by going against the broad political consensus.

GENEALOGIES OF BRAHMIN AND

NON-BRAHMIN
Against this background, my attempt in this book is to plot the genealogies of
the opposition between Brahmin and non-Brahmin, of how this opposition has
become taken for granted, self-evident, and naturalized in the Tamil region. In
unravelling the facticity and political efficacy that this opposition has acquired
over time, I concentrate primarily on the complex processes involved in the
long-term normalization of non-Brahmin identity as a category of politics, and
how these processes depended on and resulted in rearticulations of Brahmin
identity under colonialism. Thus, the Tamil Brahmin is the central figure around
whom this book revolves. The very term ‘non-Brahmin’, in its lexicalization,
makes the Brahmin central.
Terming the arrival of new identities ‘the politics of becoming’, William
Connolly has characterized the process of imagining, asserting, and affirming
such identities thus: ‘The politics of becoming is that conflictual process by
which new identities are propelled into being by moving the pre-existing shape
of diversity, justice and legitimacy.’11 Further: ‘To the extent it succeeds in
placing a new identity on the cultural field, the politics of becoming changes
the shape and contour of already entrenched identities as well.’12 Taking
analytic cues from Connolly, I attempt to concretely plot and unravel how the
two identities Brahmin and non-Brahmin were mutually constituted in the
Tamil region during the colonial period. In other words, I engage with how the
normalization of the category non- Brahmin—i.e. the process of making it a
transparent, naturalized, and sedimented category—simultaneously
reconfigured the preexisting Brahmin identity. And, as we will see, the process
of this coproduction of non-Brahmin and Brahmin under colonialism unsettled
pre-existing socio-political arrangements and consensus, and ushered in
fundamentally new notions of ‘diversity, justice and legitimacy’ in Tamil-
speaking South India.
More specifically, this book maps the historical and political conjunctures
that led to the formation of Brahmin and non-Brahmin as objects of discourse:
the enunciative modalities which delimited the ways in which Brahmin and
non-Brahmin were talked about, and how these figures acquired over time
their reified meanings. The book thus attempts to trace the historical
specificities involved in the making of the categories Brahmin and non-Brahmin
so as to unsettle their present-day ontological naturalness. Mine is in this
sense an attempt at historical ontology for one linguistic region. Noting
historical ontology as a form of criticism, Michel Foucault spells out its
contours thus: ‘that criticism is no longer going to be practiced in the search for
formal structures with universal value, but rather as a historical investigation
into the events that have led us to constitute ourselves and to recognize
ourselves as subjects of what we are doing, thinking, saying.’13 Colonialism
was a major event that constituted Brahmin and non-Brahmin identities by
enabling new forms of ‘speakability’ about caste in a modern ‘secularized’
public sphere. This at once facilitated and constrained a ‘politics of becoming’
for the emergent identity of non-Brahmin in colonial South India.
My choice of the genealogical approach, which treats identities and
practices as historical and contingent, is deliberate. This choice is the
consequence of two dominant, but problematic, approaches found in the
existing literature on non-Brahmin politics in South India.
First, some of the key texts on non-Brahmin politics trivialize non-Brahmin
identity as fictive despite its materialization and real consequences. Writing as
recently as 1989, N. Subramanian could claim that the term non-Brahmin ‘is a
flabby fatuous term which could logically include furniture and cabbages . . .’14
While Subramanian is a home-grown historian of ‘lament’, it is the
muchacclaimed historians of what is widely called the Cambridge School, in
particular David Washbrook and Christopher Baker, who have argued this
position systematically.15 As is well known, the Cambridge School historians
wrote the politics of the colonized as being fashioned around factions which
were supposedly formed vertically through patron–client nexuses, instead of
horizontally across shared identities. Politics in this framework is seen largely
as motivated by narrow economic and power interests.16 Within such a
framework, the making of identities has to be discredited or discounted. So
Washbrook could not but be surprised at the enunciation of non- Brahmin
identity: ‘When overt communal [caste] conflict appeared [in the Madras
Presidency], it did so in the most remarkable of forms. One community [the
non-Brahmins], representing 98 per cent of the population and possessing the
vast bulk of wealth and political power, denounced another community [the
Brahmins], which consisted of less than two per cent of the population and
was possessed of nothing like the same economic and political resources, for
oppressing it.’17 Similarly, Baker finds that ‘While movements which claimed
to protect a minority were a common feature of the new politics of India in this
period of councils, ministers and electorates, it was unusual, if not paradoxical,
to find a movement which claimed to defend a majority—a majority which
included up to 98 per cent of the population and almost all the men of wealth
and influence in the local society.’18 In other words, we find here a certain
incomprehension at the enunciation of non-Brahmin identity. It is a moment of
surprise.
The second tendency in the existing literature is to treat the emergence of
non-Brahmin identity as structurally inevitable. That is, its emergence holds no
surprise at all. For instance, N. Ram, writing of non-Brahmin politics during the
colonial period, claims that:

In the modern colonial society, it was no surprise at all that any

movement for social equality and against caste domination had to
have an anti-Brahmin orientation, since the Brahmin was the
supreme caste in the Hindu hierarchy, the kingpin in the
varnashramadharma structure. In fact, there is today considerable
evidence from the second half of the nineteenth century on both
the extraordinary privileges of the Brahmins in the Hindu society
and the spontaneous stirrings of persons and groups drawn from
the lower castes against this oppressive domination. 19

The emphasis on ‘spontaneous stirrings of persons’ marks the arrival of non-

Brahmin identity as inevitable; it acquires a certain naturalness. This is a
tendency one also finds in popular histories of the non-Brahmin movement
written by its ideologues.
Surprise and incomprehension over the formation of non-Brahmin identity
come in the way of understanding its facticity and efficacy. Conversely, treating
it as inevitable blocks the possibility of unsettling the taken-for-granted
opposition between Brahmin and non-Brahmin identities in contemporary
politics. Understanding the efficacy and questioning the naturalness of these
identities is therefore required. The politics of becoming upsets the ‘inertia of
shared vocabularies’ and enables new forms of politics.20 But also, by
affirmation of new identities, it produces new shared vocabularies. By acquiring
a self-evident quality these new shared vocabularies—in our case the
opposition between Brahmin and non-Brahmin—obstruct future political
possibilities. As the epilogue to this book shows, these reified categories come
in the way of Dalit mobilization in contemporary Tamil Nadu. At this point, I
would like only to note that my use of the terms Brahmin and non-Brahmin in
the singular at different places in this book is not to deny the internal
differences they conceal and the homogeneity they impose, but to concede—
unlike Cambridge School historians— that they have become analytically
discernible categories in Tamil society.

LIVES AND TIMES DURING

COLONIALISM
Since colonialism is not merely a backdrop but a key player in the story of the
making and normalization of Brahmin and non-Brahmin identities, I will briefly
outline how it figures in the book.
First, colonialism was many things at once—violent in the name of
‘civilizing’, economically extractive in the name of ‘modernizing’, and naïvely
labelling in the name of gathering ‘knowledge’. These oxymoronic pairings point
to ever-present contradictions in and the instability of the colonial project.
Such contradictions and instabilities meant that the colonizer’s will to
represent, contain, and govern the colonized was often unrealized. Yet
enframing the colonized into a set of categories and the constant reiteration of
those categories did produce its own reality.21 The very need to engage with
these categories reconstituted the ways in which the colonized thought of
themselves and related to the wider world. However, colonial categories had
multiple lives and different networks of circulation in the worlds of the
colonized. The colonized mobilized and deployed these categories to work for
varying ends. In other words, colonial categories acquired and changed their
connotation through the uses to which they were put. This process rendered
the colonial regimes of representation productive yet perennially unstable.
The instability and contingent life of colonial representations provided a
field of interpretive crisis as well as interpretive possibility for the colonized,
not only in their relation with the colonizers but also among themselves.
Debates and discussions on freedom, equality, and civilization, which
accompanied colonial domination and eloquently demonstrated the limits of
liberal discourse, embarked on wayward journeys and returned to challenge as
well as affirm structures of power, both colonial and indigenous.22
Colonialism thus abetted and also provided the grounds for articulating and
bringing into being new identities as much as it sought to freeze identities.
National identity is perhaps the most obvious of these. In short, the process of
forging new identities necessarily opened up the possibility of questioning the
naturalness of pre-existing ones. This is always so because the construction of
new identities necessitates the construction of new boundaries through which
they are policed and maintained. To give an instance: the act of producing a
national identity under colonialism often produces the question ‘to whom does
the nation belong?’ As Stuart Hall and David Held note, ‘From ancient world to
present day, citizenship has entailed a discussion of, and a struggle over, the
meaning and scope of membership of the community in which one lives. Who
belongs and what does belonging mean in practice?’23 Thus, every effort at
fixity yields contestations of that fixity. As we shall see, the act of discerning
this in the domain of everyday practice as well as in organized politics produces
new alliances, leading to the emergence of new identities. In other words,
colonialism is a time which intensifies the emergence of new identities and
leads to a redescription of old ones. Of this there can be no doubt in relation to
colonial India.
Such identity formations were in our context closely tied to new forms of
‘speakability’ brought in by colonialism. As an instance, let us take the figure of
the Brahmin, central to this book. The British represented him variedly as the
bearer of Indian authenticity, as being of common racial stock (like themselves)
but having degenerated over time, and as the crafty upholder of an immoral
priesthood. These several forms of colonial representation were contingent on
specific networks of power and knowledge. The Brahmin’s response to these
representations also took several forms: he contested, appropriated, and
reworked these representations. This new ‘speakability’ about the Brahmin, in
which both colonizers and colonized participated, gave rise to an epistemic
discourse about the Brahmin in place of a predominantly ontic one. This
distinction is explained by Valentine Daniel, who says that while ontic
discourses ‘provide a people with a way of being in the world’, epistemic
discourse ‘provides a way of seeing the world.’24 For example, while the ontic
disposition would make people content to be part of a ritual, the epistemic
disposition would make them look for a meaning in the ritual. A discursive shift
from the ontic to the epistemic under colonialism’s effort to know and govern
the colonized provide grounds for the articulation of new identities and
recasting the old ones.
A word of caution is necessary here. It is not as if Brahmins were never
spoken about in the pre-colonial period. On the contrary, discussions about the
Brahmin have a long history in the region. But whereas such discussions were
largely confined to the realm of religion during the pre-colonial period, they
were now taking place in the modern ‘disenchanted’ public sphere inaugurated
by colonialism. The authorized interpretive conventions and institutional
practices of this new public sphere played a large part in shaping the contours
of such discussions. Also, it was now a public grounded in a more inclusive
notion of interpreters. We will see, in the course of this book, that these
interpreters of the Brahmin ranged from ‘untouchable’ intellectuals to ‘non-
Brahmin’ nationalists to godless rationalists.
Such speech also signalled a crisis in semeiosis and marked colonialism as a
new ‘agentive moment’. Let us return once again to Daniel, according to whom
‘There are . . . times in life when interruptions of habit and breaches in the
order of things are of such magnitude that prevailing habits are not up to the
task of providing the inferential appeasement for soothing the resulting shock
by providing emergent meanings.’ Such moments are agentive because ‘the only
way of escape or resumption of semeiosis and a meaningful life is through the
generation of radically new habits that lead in radically new directions.’25 In
other words, people had to invent new practices, meanings, and identities to
negotiate the crisis in semeiosis which was brought in by colonialism, a crisis
which had rendered the old world and its old words unfamiliar.
In sum, colonialism prepared the grounds for interpretive crises and
possibilities. These twin aspects of colonialism, this book tries to argue,
facilitated the making and normalization of non-Brahmin identity in opposition
to a resignified Brahmin identity.
The book is organized as six chapters and an epilogue. The second chapter
begins with encounters between Christian missionaries and natives in colonial
Tamil Nadu, and with how this encounter rendered native religions, castes, and
Brahmins as objects of public debate. Using missionary encounters with natives
as an instance of the colonial moment, I map the transition from the ontic to
the epistemic, from just being to questioning and redefining self and society.
Moving further, the chapter plots the twin demands placed on the Brahmin and
on Brahminical Hinduism by colonialism—i.e. to be at once culturally authentic
as well as modern—and how Brahmins responded to these contradictory
demands.
The third chapter engages with how the responses of Brahmins to these
irreconcilable and contradictory twin demands of colonialism resulted in new
configurations of Brahmin power. While the Brahmin exercised his traditional
caste authority in the name of authenticity, he simultaneously exercised
‘modern’ forms of power in the colonial institutional structure. Most
importantly I show that these ‘spiritual’ and ‘material’ domains were not
autonomous of each other but were closely interlocked. This made the Brahmin
a highly visible sign of power. Mapping these new forms of power in the figure
of the Brahmin, the chapter also analyses how mainstream nationalism
idealized the Brahminic as the national authentic while attempting to block the
emergence of other identities— in our case non-Brahmin identity. In short, this
chapter delineates the field of resistance within which a non-Brahmin ‘politics
of becoming’ had to invent itself.
Turning from reconstructions and saliences of the category Brahmin under
colonialism, chapters four, five, and six plot the varied discursive arenas and
strategies employed by the emerging non- Brahmin constituency to bring itself
into being in the face of Brahmin and nationalist resistance. The main thrust of
these chapters is to understand how this contestatory process of non-Brahmin
visà- vis Brahmin reconstituted the figure of the Brahmin in colonial South
India.
The key protagonists of chapter four are Iyothee Thoss, an Untouchable
Parayar/Buddhist intellectual, and Maraimalai Adigal, a Vellalar/Saivite
intellectual. The chapter analyses how both these men deployed an idealized
figure of the Brahmin as well as a ‘golden age’ notion for their respective
communities to develop a critique of the actually existing Brahmin. While the
actually existing Brahmin was the subject of their critique, an idealized and
notional Brahmin provided the model for a putative golden age that had been
enjoyed by their respective communities. I also discuss, in this chapter, the
ironic results of attempting to attune the Parayar Buddhist and the Saivite
Vellalar to a Brahminic ideal. Thus, the contradictory nature of these critiques,
their aporia, resulted in a valorization and recovery of the Brahmin even while
attempting to displace him.
The fifth chapter deals with discursive strategies deployed by the non-
Brahmin Justice Party within the formal domain of politics authorized by the
colonial state. My emphasis in this chapter is on how the Justice Party used the
colonizer’s notions of common sense categories—such as statistics presented
as deracinated truth, and Benthamite notions of ‘disinterested’ rule presented
as the ideal political arrangement—to represent Brahmin power—both in the
spiritual and material domains—as being now disenchanted. The chapter also
details precisely how this party’s representation of the Brahmin’s power as
disenchanted, as not spiritual, opened up a wider terrain for non-Brahmin
critique, leading towards non-Brahmin common sense, namely that the
Brahmin was incapable of disinterested rule.
The final chapter analyses the politics of the non-Brahmin Self- Respect
Movement of E.V. Ramasamy which functioned outside the formal domain of
politics. Here I elaborate the manner in which the Self-Respect Movement
discursively produced the figure of the Brahmin as a trope for varied forms of
power. I show here how the eliding into each other of Hinduism, Brahmin, and
Indian nation gave rise to a specific critique of the Brahmin. This critique spoke
of the Brahmin as encompassing all three elements: that is, invoking one of
these elements could produce a network of references to others through a set
of discursive associations. And each of these elements could stand in or
substitute for the others. In other words, for the Self-Respect Movement to
critique the Brahmin—who I hasten to add was as much a trope as real—was
also to critique Hinduism and the Indian nation, and vice versa.
The Epilogue leaves colonialism behind and engages with non- Brahmin
identity as a normalized category of politics in postcolonial Tamil Nadu. Here I
indicate that when emergent identities normalize themselves they forget their
own past of becoming and assert superiority over or seek revenge against
newly emergent political constituencies. I do this by journeying through some
contemporary contestations between ‘non-Brahmins’ and a newly evolving
constituency, the Dalits.
The arrangement of chapters may at first glance appear to outline a linear
sequence of events and developments: Orientalist discourse, missionary
activity, colonial governmentality, Brahmin self-perceptions and
representations, contestations around the figure of the Brahmin, the
subsequent emergence of non-Brahmin identity. As in any history, sequential
narration appears to suggest a causal link from one element or constituent to
the next. But a closer perusal will show that the intention of this book is not to
assert any such straightforward causal chain or lay down a historical sequence
of events and developments. What I attempt is to peg a few of the key themes
and sites of discourse production in Tamil Nadu around the polar notions of
Brahmin and non-Brahmin with the hope of allowing local knowledge to speak
for itself. My approach actually prioritizes theme over chronology so that the
continuing ambiguities that haunt the ever-changing dynamics of identity-
making are revealed. In signposting such themes and sites, my hope is that this
book succeeds in alerting people to myriad discursive formations in the colonial
public sphere, and to the contemporary legacies of those formations.
 2
BECOMING BRAHMIN
IN COLONIAL TAMILNADU

In 1833 the british government ended the east india Company’s policy of
restricting Christian missionary presence in its territories. However, this
change, the consequence of propaganda by the Clapham Sect and Evangelicals
such as William Wilberforce and Charles Grant the elder, did not end trouble
for the missionaries. In many ways it was the beginning of their troubles.
Unclear about the response of natives whose plural modes of spirituality were
not yet singularized as Hindu, unsure of the outcome of their evangelism, and
confused about the allegiance of converts to their new and old faiths,
missionaries had to constantly battle frustration.1
The mood of frustration which pervaded missionary labour was a result of
their day-to-day encounters with natives whose responses ranged from
indifference to rage. Missionaries had to convince natives in order to convert
them. In contrast, the practices of the colonial state were directed at
containing, co-opting, and governing natives. In other words missionary labour,
in the terrain of identity-making encounters, was qualitatively different from
the identity-framing practices of the state, practices such as colonial
ethnography and census enumeration.2 The state’s activities were based on the
notion of sovereignty, which the missionaries lacked. Given this crucial
difference between missionaries and the state, proselytizing encounters can
disclose processes of identity-making as multi-sited and co-produced by a
number of players in everyday contexts, possessing as they did a certain degree
of autonomy from the colonial state.
However, it is equally true that a dense network of new institutional
practices played an important role in shaping the interpretive field within which
missionary–native encounters took place. The emergence of print culture and a
reading public, new forms of knowledge spawned by the Orientalist
scholarship, the circulation of books published in the West, modern forms of
education and a legal system, and a novel public sphere wherein new modes of
representation were encouraged created some of these new institutional
practices. The role of the colonial state was critical in giving rise to and
sustaining these practices. Importantly, colonial governmentality, as argued by
David Scott, ‘put in place a public sphere in which only certain kinds of
knowledges and not others . . . could circulate with any efficiency; a sphere in
which fluency in these knowledges . . . would be a condition of participation;
and in which participation would be the only rational and legal way of
exercising influences in what now counts as politics.’3 In other words, though
the missionary project exhibited an everydayness and was indeed different
from the colonial state, its practices as well as the responses it elicited from
natives were mediated by these larger institutional practices. And the
missionaries, more than the natives, were familiar with these. Thus the mission
project—in addition to its dialogic quality, necessitated by the need to convince
the native—was also predicated upon colonial institutional practices which give
it a more complex character. This in turn makes the examination of missionary–
native encounters as a way of understanding identity formation more
rewarding and rich than confining attention to state practices such as the
census and ethnography.
Against this backdrop, the present chapter explores the formation of
intertwined identities, Hindu and Brahmin, in colonial South India. It analyses
but also moves beyond missionary–native encounters during the nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries. The business of convincing and converting was an act
of verbalizing religions via comparison. The flood of words—spoken and printed
— unleashed by missionaries, and native responses to these were central to the
formation of these identities. So it would be appropriate to begin the story
with an account of a confrontation between a missionary and natives in Madras
city.

MISSION UNACCOMPLISHED: MISSIONARIES

IN COLONIAL TAMIL NADU
In his autobiography R.K. Narayan, the well-known Indian writer in English,
narrates a confrontation between a European missionary and bystanders in a
Madras street in the early twentieth century. The ambience of the
confrontation was marked by its everyday ordinariness: ‘A few onlookers
stopped by, the priest nodded to everyone in a friendly manner, casting a genial
look around, while the musicians rendered a full-throated Biblical hymn over
the babble of the street, with its hawkers’ cries and the jutka-drivers’ urging of
their lean horses. Urchins sat down in the front row on the ground, and all
sorts of men and women assembled.’4 However, as the missionary went on
with his preaching, a scuffle broke out:

Suddenly, the audience woke up to the fact that the preacher was
addressing them as ‘sinners’ . . . and that he was calling our gods
names. He was suggesting that they fling all the stone gods into
the mosscovered green tanks in our temples, repent their sins, and
seek baptism . . . When the public realized what he was saying,
pandemonium broke out. People shouted, commanded him to shut
up, moved in on his followers—who fled to save their limbs and
instruments. The audience now rained mud and stone on the
 preacher and smothered him under bundles of wet green grass . . .
but his voice went on unceasingly through all the travail . . . The
preacher, bedraggled and almost camouflaged with damp grass and
water, went through his programme to the last minute as
scheduled. Then he suddenly disappeared into the night.5

The very fact that the natives could overcome their racial fear of the white man
and launch an assault on the missionary shows his relative lack of power in the
colonial order of things. As Narayan ironically puts it, ‘If Christian salvation
came out of suffering, here was one who must have attained it.’6 More
importantly, the street episode shows us the centrality of words, of speech, in
the missionary project. The missionary in question spoke of his religion and
other religions in the public and asserted the superiority of his Christianity. The
bystanders wanted to quell his words. The missionary refused to be silenced
even by physical assault. He returned soon to deliver more words: ‘One would
have thought that the man would never come again. But he did, exactly on the
same day a week hence, at the next street corner.’7
All the same, this is an episode of words that failed. Such failure with
words constantly haunted missionaries and frustrated their project.
Generalizing from the experience of street preaching in South Indian towns,
Henry Rice, a missionary, noted in despair:

They [the Hindus] know little or nothing of logic, and long,

elaborate processes of reasoning are a mere waste of time . . . It is
not safe, moreover, to conclude that because an audience listens
patiently it is therefore interested. It has happened on more than
one occasion that an audience has listened for some time,
apparently with rapt attention, to a missionary addressing them in
their own language, and at the end have quietly informed the
speaker that they were unacquainted with English! It is possible for
a Hindu to have his whole soul apparently absorbed in a subject,
and yet for his real thought to be as far from it as the east is from
the west.8

In all probability, the English missionary’s Tamil sounded like an alien tongue to
his native listeners: the Tamil of the missionary assaulted in the Madras street
was ‘stiff and formal, culled out of a dictionary, as far away from normal
speech as could be.’9 And even if missionaries emphasized the oral and aural,
their ‘listeners’ could in fact have been ‘spectators’ privileging sight, i.e. treating
the missionary as a spectacle. In this melee of possible misreadings the native
came through as being inscrutable to the missionary. Even when he looked like
he was listening, he probably wasn’t. The words of the missionary thus had an
uncertain career.
 Alongside, native religious practices remained an enigma for missionaries
and they found it hard to give them a name. The scholar- missionary Robert
Caldwell (1814-91), who established several native Christian congregations in
southern Tamil Nadu,10 wrote of Hinduism thus: ‘The term “Hinduism”, like the
geographical term “India”, is an European generalisation unknown to the
Hindus. The Hindus themselves call their religions by the name of the particular
deity they worship, as “Siva bhacti”, “Vishnu bhacti”, &c . . .’11 Caldwell’s
unease is evident. On the one hand he recognized that Hindus existed as a
people. On the other he claimed that they were not aware of Hinduism but
practised a variety of religions known by different names. Thus, the Hinduism
of the Hindus could be talked about and verbalized only through a series of
qualifications, depending on the context. For instance, Caldwell wrote: ‘The
Shanars, though not of the Brahminical or Sanscrit-speaking race, are as truly
Hindus as are any class in India . . .’12
Writing well after the colonial era, Joseph Mullens characterized the
religion of the Shanars, a former Untouchable caste known today as Nadars,
thus: ‘In religion the Shanars are to a very small extent Hindus. They are of
course not Hindus in caste; since they are not by birth or origin members of the
Hindu community: though in respect to their social position they occupy a
higher place than the Parias [Pariahs]. But they do pay some honour to several
of the Hindu gods of whom two or three resemble their own deities . . .’13 For
Mullens the Shanars were not Hindus but worshippers of devils.14 While he
seemed to succeed in making sense for himself of the Shanar religion by
naming it devil-worship, he was still caught in a web of uncertainties: ‘Shanars
are to a very small extent Hindus’; ‘They are not of course Hindus . . .’; ‘But they
do pay some honour to several of the Hindu gods . . .’ All three statements are
to be found in consecutive sentences and betoken his uncertainty. What is
important here is not so much the differences between the accounts of
Caldwell and Mullens on Shanar religiosity, but their need in common to
employ a series of qualifications which show up the intractability of Hinduism
for missionaries.
Given their need to compare Hinduism with Christianity so that
missionaries could at least try convincing natives, missionaries produced a
flood of literature that tried to contain Hinduism’s fluidity and fix its meaning.
As Stuart Blackburn notes, ‘Printed Christianity . . . assumed alarming
dimensions: by 1832, more than 40,000 tracts were printed in Tamil alone and
by 1852 there were 2,10,000.’15 A significant part of this print Christianity
engaged with Hinduism. This literature, as Graham Houghton shows, was of
different types—some authors focused on discrediting Hinduism; others
acknowledged the spirituality and truth of Hinduism but claimed it was
incomplete; still others stayed with a mere propagation of the Christian
message.16
