Why I said Tamil is Dying?
Great works on casteism dr.rathnam.vedas and geetha are holy texts of hindus and not the casteist manu smirthi.Manu smirithi might have been the work of later age "gang of thugs who called themselves bhramins".Vedic hinduism never supporte…

kasirajan, Real art forms are inimitable and rare.For example prahatheeswara temple,mamallapuram,ajantha paintings etc.All the gopurams you have mentioned are great.But such structures are built all over the world by all cultures.Ganapath…
