It was against this backdrop that Raja Sir Annamalai Chettiar, a well-known industrialist and philanthropist in Tamil Nadu at the time, spearheaded the Tamil Isai movement вЂ“ to promote Tamil in Carnatic music. This order mandated that Hindi be compulsorily taught at all schools within the Madras Presidency. The inception of the Tamil Isai movement was in 1939 afte r anti-Hindi imposition agitations were organised by the Justice Party (an organisation that was seen as the start of the Dravidian Movement) opposing the 1937 government order (GO) issued by the newly- elected Indian National government in Madras Presidency headed by C Rajagopalachari. Despite the fact that Tamil music has been discussed at length in the Tamil epic Silappadikaram which is believed to be written between the 3rd and 6th centuries, the language couldnвЂ™t find its place in the world of Carnatic music. In addition, Krithis by the revered trinity of Tyagaraja, Muthuswami Dikshitar and Syama Sastri dating back to the 18th century, were predominantly in Telugu and sometimes in Sanskrit. Subsequently, independent rulers who took over the erstwhile Vijayanagara empire, such as the Nayaks of Madurai, Tanjore and Gingee, also promoted singing in Telugu over other languages when it came to Carnatic music. In the 15th century, Krishnadevaraya of the Vijayanagara empire was a patron of Telugu songs. This was done, according to Sriram, to make sure Telugu, which is believed to be the first language in which Carnatic songs were penned and performed, maintained its position. Even in Carnatic music compilations, Sriram points out that the Tamil songs were found towards the end of books like Sangeetha Parijaatam and Gayaka Lochanam, under a section titled вЂchillaraiвЂ™, which translates to loose change, or вЂTukkadaвЂ™, meaning miscellaneous, minor or insignificant parts. Tamil songs were rarely performed at concerts. Not considered musical enoughД«efore the Tamil Isai movement started, many Carnatic musicians and audiences alike, felt that the language вЂ“ with its words ending in consonants like вЂIkвЂ™, вЂipвЂ™, вЂichвЂ™ вЂ“ was not suitable for music. Before the early 1940s, Tamil was not considered to be as musical a language as its counterparts вЂ“ namely, Telugu, Sanskrit and Kannada. But during the heritage walk at Raja Annamalai Mandram, V Sriram explains how this wasnвЂ™t always the case. Listening to devotional songs like Thevaram, Nalayira Divya Prabandham and renditions of BharathiyarвЂ™s poems, one would think it was safe to say that Tamil language and literature has always been a cardinal part of Carnatic music. It has fiercely opposed Hindi imposition Bills, and the preservation of Tamil language, literature and identity has been central to its political ideologies as well as ethos. After all, Tamil Nadu has produced legendary poets like Thiruvalluvar, Ilango Adigal and Subramania Bharati, among others.
