Reinvention of Kattabomman, Venkatesh Ramakrishnan, 6th April 2019
Tamil Heritage Trust
presents
Reinvention of Kattabomman
a talk by
Venkatesh Ramakrishnan
6th April 2019, Saturday 5:30 PM at Arkay Convention Center,
146/3 R.H.Road, OMS Lakshana (Above Shah Electronics), Mylapore, Chennai
About the Topic
“The
skies pour rain, and fields yield grain……..”. VEERAPANDIYA KATTABOMMAN
is perhaps the most well-known amongst the Tamil freedom fighters. The
words he supposedly spoke while opposing the British demand for the
tax are legendary.
But then it was not always so. Till the 40s he was remembered only by a small group of dramatists who did a 'koothu' on him.
During
the late forties with independence nearing, there was a demand for
histories of Tamil freedom fighters of which there were pitifully few
with Tamilnadu not participating in the 1857 mutiny. Kattabomman’s
history was dusted and rewritten by stalwarts.
The
pinnacle of this effort was the movie with Sivaji Ganesan in the title
role in a film written by Sakthi Krishnaswamy, but not without
opposition. There were bestselling authors like Tamilvanan and
poets like Kannadasan opposing glorification of Kattabomman. Quoting
names of Pulithevan and Maruthu Pandiyar as better opponents of the
British, Tamilvanan even went to the extent of calling Kattabomman as a
‘Kollaikaran’. Kannadasan lost a fortune making a parallel movie on the
Maruthu Pandiyar.
The
talk traces the period between 1950 to 1960 which was crucial in fixing
Kattabomman firmly on the history map of Tamilnadu. There were films,
plays, books, and articles from the opposing group denigrating
Kattabomman but the movie rose to the level of a cult film.
