About the speaker and
the programme
Thiru Balasubramani B+ ve is a very different kind of person, whose
enthusiasm for his work and for his culture could be infectious.
Starting with maintenance of numerically-controlled machines to
searching for lost cities along the Tamil coast is a long way.
He crossed boundaries of professional fields with ease and crosses
social barriers with equal felicity. He is also highly creative, not
in art, but in approaching matters of human interest. His interaction
with the Tamils around when he travels outside Tamilnadu, which he has
been doing very frequently and his establishing rapport with the
coastal community and learning form the people, are a few examples of
his novel approach.
That he could attract the attention of Orissan royalty and the
resulting friendship with it is another dimension of his personality.
Adding B+ to his name to make people apprecte the need for blood
donation is born out his this creative trait of his.
Let us only site a few aspects of this multifaceted personality. A
graduate of physics, through self-study a associate member in
mechanical engineering and member in many forum associated with field
of intrest
his moving to Orissa in 1989 was a turning point for him, for it
kindled his interest on the Orissan culture.
He felt that the region had a long and intensive cultural intercourse
with the Tamil culture.
Researching into the Kalinga-Tamil relationship was the beginning
which became his passion for research into the Tamil history.
His weekly news-letter, Kalinga-Tamil, exploring the 2500-year of
Tamil history in Orissa and vice versa, became an excellent medium for
a healthy discourse on the subject.
This, as well as, almost all his research is self-funded, and this
indicates his passion for knowledge, for research and for regional
understanding.
His present research area could be a new beginning of `Culture through
Geography, as his calls his work.
Going beyond the emotional approach to the existence of Lemuria,
Balasubramaniam B+ve, in addition to the study of literary references,
conducts experiments on the Tamil coast making use of the traditional
knowledge of the coastal community.
He claims, which is important, that the fishermen have a lot to
contribute towards our knowledge of kadal-kol and how transgression
and regression in the Tamilnadu coast had affected history, society
and livelihoods.
He has been regularly interacting with research students, orienting
the students for developing import substitutes in earth science
equipment which will be ultimately help for archaeologist to redefine
our cultural heritage.
