In order for Tamil to continue as a kiving labguage Tamil should be developed for use in business and education also. Indian Government makes a concerted effort to block it while trying to develop Hindi in these areas poring 100s of millions rupeees.

Lets not blame or beg others to improve our language. We are 60 million of us. It is up to us to let of language die or grow it 10 folds.

‘þôÀ¨¼ §¾¡ü¸¢ý ±ôÀ¨¼ ¦ÅøÖõ’


We ourselves need to realize that we are ignoring our mother tongue. Tamil children call their parents Daddy,mummy. We teach them English rhymes before they say ‘Amma’. We feel proud if our sons and daughters are studying in English medium,speak English fluently. Is this Hindiwallas fault. NO…its our own fault.
