GENERATION WITHOUT GAP

Rs. 690.00

The book  Generation Without Gap is a reflective treatise about the rich tapestry of life in South India, mainly through the lens of the author's experiences over eight decades. 
Written to document and preserve the cultural, educational, and societal nuances of a bygone era, this work emerges from a deeply personal narrative rooted in the author's native region of Tamil Nadu, specifically Raja Mannargudi in Thanjavur district. 
The author highlights that the narrative is set against the backdrop of the old Madras Presidency during British rule, which underwent significant reorganization in 1956 based on linguistic lines. This historical context is pivotal as it frames the social and cultural dynamics that shaped the lives of individuals in South India. The book illustrates how these dynamics influenced everyday life, from education and social order to festivals and community practices. 
The primary purpose of "Generation Without Gap" is to bridge the gap between generations by sharing firsthand experiences and observations. The author seeks to document objects and customs that have faded from common use, giving readers a window into the past.  By citing historical instances of local temples, civic facilities, and social structures, the author aims to create a comprehensive picture of life in South India during a transformative period.
"Generation Without Gap" is a vital record of cultural memory, offering insights into the lifestyle, needs, and aspirations of common people in South India. This treatise invites readers to learn about a specific geographical area and appreciate the broader human experiences that transcend time and place.
