Ancient and Unique Nature of Tamil
The scope of this topic is very wide. I have tried to summarize the views of various scholars when they try to Introduce Tamil to readers in their respective books. I feel this essay would be the right place to start my mini series on Tamil Literature studies.
Tamil Etymology:
What does the word Tamil mean? Let’s have a look at the Tamil Lexicon entry for the word Tamil.
தமிழ் tamiḻ
, n. perh. தமி¹. cf. dramiḍa. 1. Sweetness, melodiousness; இனிமை. (பிங்.) 2. Refined quality; நீர்மை. (பிங்.) 3.

Launching Beta Site
All,
The existing site (http://www.ponniyinselvan.in) is forum based which doesn't fit well with all type of contents since it is basically for members to post messages, doesn't play well with articles, pages, etc.,
I have been working on a new site which is in beta which is Drupal (http://www.drupal.org) based
Highlights
- Bilingual - Both Tamil and English interface, the articles are not yet translated (Vijay would be helping me on this, volunteers are welcome)
