Anbulla Sri Hari,
Re: below -- Your ideas are real refreshing, as is the painstaking research
you do to show that these ideas, while they seem big, are not unattainable
by Tamil historical standards, i.e. we have achieved them and more before
when we had the elements of cooperation and leadership under control.
I am sending this on to a broader audience to encourage discussion on it, as
a networked cooperative Tamil Renaisaance gathers steam. Please present and
convince your case to Thamil Innaiya Erumbugal. Figure out what of our
resources you can use, what is missing, and what is needed to catalyse this.
And work with us in setting specific timeline targets -- say Phase One by
June 2002. Click on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/erumbugal

Why not spread Tamil - Language, Literature, Culture, Fine Arts & Traditions
World over among non-Tamils
Topic started by R.Sri Hari (@ modem21.bayrac.eureka.lk) on Thu Mar 22

All times in EST +10:30 for IST.
At a glance it may look like a statement which needs a "big hearty laugh".
But it is not.
If the big countries of the World namely United Kingdom, USA, Russia,
Germany & France can open many Centres all
over the World in other Countries - {speaking different languages and
professing different cultures}- with a view of
introducing and spreading their own Language, Literature, Culture and Fine
Arts through their Centres named as British
Council, American Cultural Center, Russian Cutural Centre, Gothe Institute,
Alliance Francaise, then why not TamilNadu
open such Centres all over the World (named Tamil Cultural Institute)and
promote Tamil Language, Literature, Culture
and Fine Arts to the Tamils and Non-Tamils living in various other countries
of the World.
This will help the Tamil who have now spread worldwide not to loose touch of
their own language,culture,traditions, fine
arts etc, and not being absorbed and assimilated in the foreign societies
and their cultures, loosing their own identity as
Tamils.
During the great days of Tamils under Rajaraja Chola - 1 & Rajendra Chola -
1 and others thousand years back
(A.D.985-A.D.1070) this cultural spread did really take place, the impact of
which is very visible in the culture and
language in some countries of the World.
This fact is further evidenced by the presense of Tamil Stone Inscriptions
around 900/1000 years old, discovered in the
recent times by Archeological Departments of some countries, namely
Thailand, Burma, China, Sumatra (in Indonesia),
Malaysia and Sri Lanka.
Further if this cultural speard is made among the people of foreign
countries, the items of Tamil Culture too could find
export to foreign countries and incur more revenue to Tamil Nadu.
Imagine Western Women gradually going crazy to wear Sarees and Kanchipuram
and other Sarees being exported to the
Western countries, like how the Westerners have made the young Tamil Girls
of TamilNadu crazy with Denim Trousers
and Cotton Tee-Shirts.
There are very many items that could find export
to these countires.
Like how the west has made the youngsters in TamilNadu crazy with Pizzas and
Kentuky Foods why not Tamilian open
Hi-Fi Tamil Fast Food Resturants in the western countries with all types of
appetising foods like Dosai, Iddly etc etc.
Why not make the girls of the west who are used to dancing Waltz and
BallRoom Dance etc to dance Kummi & Kollam
Attams & Baratha Natyam with long plats,Mallihaip poos & kunjams!!!!
