Tamil Selvan, Good Facts.... To add more to that.

Tamil is the original language born and brought up independently in India. Whereas Sanskrit is derived and originated in centra asia.

All other languages of India and world has Tamil words.

Tamil is mother of all dravidian languages.

Language of Indus Valley Civilization is Tamil. It is proved now that it is not Sanskrit by linguistic scholars.

It is known truth that Tamil is the one of the 4 languages of Mankind, there is no Sanskrit in those 4.

Tamil may be the oldest or first language of the world, according to the most of the linguistic scholars all around the world.

In fact, english is global and accepted by all sections of the people in the world. This is the reality. Tamil and sankrit even hebrew may claim they are oldest. But not used by majority in the world. We can claim these things for pride but will not fetch bread, butter.

Dear KNNT, Talking and writing about tamil still needs food and other resources. Dont mistake me. To raise a point, I simplified it to bread and butter. Let us not live in the false pride and be tolerant to raise India to the next level. Dream about India (said by APJ, another tamil)

Yeah, I agree, but why you are not telling this to others who are giving false facts about Tamil and Tamils.

Do you want to keep mum, if somebody abusing you???

Working for Tamil is also work for India only. Because Tamil is originated in India. But some people here are talking alien Sanskrit. What Im doing is more patriotic work than them.

Dear KNNT, tamils are abused worlwide. You should have seen how they are getting abused in Srilankan forums. It is matter of fact that english overtook all the languages in terms of reach and usage. Hindi overtook sanskrit and became used by majority of the indians. Tamil is reduced to one another language in the indian states spoken by a TN state people. We are proud of culture and semmozhi. But let us move on in the context of India. Practice tamil in your home. Nothing more we can do. Nobody is interested in Semmozhi other than some tamils.

Ok so maybe Tamil is greater than Sanskrit but what about English whatever drama Tamilians do Tamil will never become a de facto international language like English and it will be restricted to a few black people residing in TN who like to watch Rajnikant romancing a girl his grand daugthers age and who erect a temple for a living human being and who kill females at birth
