A cruise through the 334 page Tripunithura Grandhavari reveals that the medieval Tripunithura temple was a gigantic institution embracing a wide range of spiritual and mundane matters and thus was sine quo non to all, whether theists or atheists. It had a patriarchal role as a rich land lord, employer consumer, organizer of entertainments, patron of ancient scriptures, and also as custodian of the traditional system of law and economy, besides providing spiritual solace to the people. In order to integrate its multifarious activities it coordinated the service of various caste groups thereby creating a sense of mutual dependency and hierarchy among them.

Hardcover. Etat : New. This study examines the approach of Mahatma Jotirao Govindrao Phule (1827-1890), the foremost social reformer and thinker as well as one of the nation-builders of modern India, with regard to the issue of Hindu social reform in India. Introduction: The objective of the present study is to make an historical, compar ative and critical analysis of the framework of Hindu social reform as proposed by Jotirao Govind Phule (1827-1890), a radical social reformer of nineteenth century Maharashtra, who visualized Hindu society free from Brahmanic hegemony and exploitation. Phule showed extreme concern for the suppressed sections of Hindu soci ety and started a crusade against 'Brahmanism' and the 'slavery' it imposed upon the Shudras, Atishudras and women for centuries. It is pertinent to note here that while inscribing his famous historical work, Who were the Shudras, to the memory of Mahatma Phule, Dr. Bsbasaheb Ambedkar (1891-1956), the chief architect of Indian Constitution and another champion of the weaker sections in modern India, describes him as "the greatest Shudra of modern India who made the lower classes of Hindus conscious of their slavery to the higher classes and who preached the gospel that for India social democracy was more vital than independence from foreign rule."¹ This tribute sheds sufficient light on the historic contribution of Phule in the field of Hindu social reform. His contribution could be understood by recognition of the fact that he initiated a new tradi tion of radical social reform in India, which was further strengthened by Ambedkar and later came to be known as the 'Phule-Ambedkar tradition of social reform'.
