Ponniyin Selvan Varalaatru Peravai

For Palaniappan Vairam, what 12 years of learning Tamil at school couldn't
do, happened when he chanced upon research work by a Czech scholar on
Dravidian literature. Vairam fell in love with his mother tongue. He now
runs *karkanirka.org*, that translates ancient Tamil poetry, and which
author S.Ramakrishnan has described as “one of the most informative blogs
on Sangam literature.” Trying to contextualise Dravidian poetry for modern
readers, he says, has helped him improve his classroom presentations (he is
an MBA student in the Philippines).
