இது உண்மையன்று.
இந்தியரே பழங்காலந்தொட்டு இனிப்பு எடுக்க அறிந்திருந்தனர்.
இந்தியரிடமிருந்து அரேபியர் அறிந்து பின் அதை மேலை நாடுகளில் பரப்பினர் என அறிகிறோம்.
சர்க்கரை அல்லது சருக்கரை என்பது தமிழ்தான்.

Is there any Historical proof for this information.?
Or can it be substantiated by our Tamil-Literature.?
If I am correct... the English word SUGAR... has developed from the Arabic word SHAKKAR... which is also the Urdu and Hindi word too.
In India Sugar was introduced by Phillippines... where the Sugarcane growth was abudant and comparatively very cheap...
...and so Sugar was manufactured at a place named ASKA in Phillippines.
Hence when the Britishers imported it from Phillippines... it was called as ASKA SAKKARAI...initially...
Later on... in Tamil.. it got named as SAKKARAI.
During the previous days... Indians knew only VELLAM (GURH) and the powdered Vellam.
Because the process of manufacturing Sugar was totally new to Indians.
...which knowhow was imported later to India.
So the Words SAKKAR OR SUGAR cannot have the Origin from Tamil... or any other Indian Language.
Initially Chinese used to import and sell Sugar in India... and so the Commoners used to call Sugar as...CHEENI.
There is one Tamil Word in our ancient Tamil-Literature as... AKKAARAM... for Sugar or Shakkar, which can in no way be related with SHAKKAR or SARKKARAI...
..which words are the subsequent introductions to Tamil.

on sugar, sakkarai, Arabs and Philippines
Please see my post on July 17, 2009 6.13 p.m.in the thread: "Unique Language Tamil - How" and further posts in thread: Tamil Word Development. The matter seems to have been dispersed into several threads unfortunately.
