It is of work among the Telugus that we are to speak in the present chapter.
D
28:29David LeesonNARRATOR
The country of the Telugus stretches northwards from Madras for some five hundred miles along the shores of the Bay of Bengal, while to the west it extends about half-way across the peninsula, and so includes large parts not only of the presidency of Madras, but of the kingdom of Mysore and the dominions of the Nizam of Hyderabad.
D
28:51David LeesonNARRATOR
It is a region which attracts those who go to India for sport and adventure, for its jungles still abound in tigers and other wild animals.

From the point of view of Christian missions it has this special interest that there is no part of all Hindustan where the gospel has been preached with more marked success, or where the people have been gathered more rapidly into the Christian church.

So it's actually located at the interstices of colonial medicine and decolonization, the Rockefeller Foundation.
V
11:14Vivek NeelakantanGUEST
So that's the reason I focus on pilot health demonstration projects in Laguna, the Philippines, then Sri Lanka, Kalutara health project, the Poonamalli in Netherlands, that is in southern India, Madras presidency, the Poonamalli hookworm demonstration project, and also, of course, the Banyumas project of the Rockefeller Foundation.
V
11:36Vivek NeelakantanGUEST
Central Java is also important.
V
11:39Vivek NeelakantanGUEST
That is using the health education to further uh rural health initiatives instead of at the same time the supremacy of the magic bullet that is using oil of chenopodium to eradicate hookworm teaching cost effective health techniques to villagers but why did i choose 37 as a complex question that is to understand 1937 we have to go into the transnational dissemination of uh international health ideas that is how rural health ideas were transmitted across space the space the bay of bengal region let me put it that way for example the lettering construction project in surinam for example was used in madras but it didn't work but when the when they showed the model from Banyumas in Central Java, it worked in Madras.
V
12:32Vivek NeelakantanGUEST
That is lettering construction.
V
12:33Vivek NeelakantanGUEST
So the Rockefeller Foundation, they learned from the mistakes.
V
15:44Vivek NeelakantanGUEST
That goes into the WHO preamble.

But he was the head of the Singapore bureau of the league of nations health organization so this was 1931 abdul rasid's articulation of what a holistic vision of health would embody how do you integrate traditional healers into the health system this is 1936 so you see the setting is already there for the bandung conflict So also the transnational circulation of epidemiological ideas.

V

I was telling you about the Rockefeller Foundation's transformation of the lectern construction techniques from Fiji or Suriname to Madras presidency, but it didn't work.
V
16:21Vivek NeelakantanGUEST
So they had to use educational method, pioneered in Banyumas and West Central Java.

V
16:03Vivek NeelakantanGUEST
So you see, the setting is already there for the Bandung Conference.
V
16:08Vivek NeelakantanGUEST
So also the transnational circulation of epidemiological ideas.
V
16:11Vivek NeelakantanGUEST
I was telling you about the Rockefeller Foundation's transmission of, uh, latrine construction techniques from Fiji or Suriname to, uh, Madras Presidency, but it didn't work, so they had to use educational method pioneered in Banyumas in West Cen- West Central Java.
V
16:27Vivek NeelakantanGUEST
So you see the coalescence of ideas, public health ideas, that, uh, that is, uh, what would be known today, what will be known in the late 20th century as global health has local or rural an- antecedents, I would say.
Periyar, Ambedkar, Gandhi and the fight to democratise temples | Manuraj Shunmugasundaram
M
11:21Manuraj ShanmugasundaramGUEST
One of the first legislations they introduced was the Hindu Religious Endowments, wherein they say specifically for the reason that to take these temples away from the control of one community, we would like to place it under government control.
M
11:37Manuraj ShanmugasundaramGUEST
And now this has been, whether we support it or not, whether we agree with, with it or otherwise, this has been the way that Tamil Nadu and most of, I would say, Madras Presidency has dealt with it.
M
11:48Manuraj ShanmugasundaramGUEST
And because of this, we have ensured that there is equality, there is a semblance of fairness within temples, all the way, not just from temple entry movements, but all the way today to where we are discussing about how- Priest appointments should be fair, right?
R
12:05R.K. RadhakrishnanHOST
Yeah.
M
16:05Manuraj ShanmugasundaramGUEST
Periyar at that point says, "But what is the point of walking on streets if we are not allowed to even enter the temple, which is our ultimate goal?" So when he leaves, that sort of is the starting point or the trigger point for the Self-Respect Movement, which coincides with Periyar leaving Congress in 1925, '26 and s-setting up the Self-Respect League and the Self-Respect Movement.
M
16:27Manuraj ShanmugasundaramGUEST
The concept of self-respect is sort of unique because according to me, it is the most uniquely indigenous political concept in India.
M
16:35Manuraj ShanmugasundaramGUEST
Of course, there are many other great political movements in India, but Self-Respect Movement is something so unique to the southern states, the Madras Presidency, and more so now in Tamil Nadu.
M
16:46Manuraj ShanmugasundaramGUEST
So the idea of self-respect, according to me, was born probably in the events of the Vaikom s-agitation and thereafter.
