That is why I believe we must give greater credence to local stories, sevi vazhi seidi and local puranams. Otherwise modern linguists can link any word in any language and arrive at any 'acceptable' or 'revolutionary' theories. S…

DID YOU KNOW ??
I think the context was killing the husband to marry the wife. Karikalan even talks of killing Peria Pazhvettarayar and taking Nandini to a foreign land; or converting to a different religion in which marrying another's wife is permitted. Nandi…

Mind boggling fractions - Ancient Tamils were aware of these fractions.
We have lost all thousand year knowledge of weights and measures in one generation. Sombu, marakkal, palam and many more measures commonly used by vegetable vendors, grocery shops and oil mandis are all gone from use and from records. How the '…
