<BR>
<BR>This article describes how , in the period 1550-1750 AD, there was an 
<BR>intellectual ferment in India, expressed chiefly in Sanskrit. The 
<BR>Indian intellectuals of the period described themselves as Navya , 
<BR>that is New. The output of this intellectual movement was vast.
<BR>
<BR>But with the establishment of the British colonialism, all this 
<BR>traditional knowledge makers and intellectual movement quickly 
<BR>disappeared. This is a part of a big project to collect the 
<BR>intellectual output of this period 
<BR>
<BR>http://dsal.uchicago.edu/sanskrit/database/index.html.
<BR>
<BR>It would be a worthwhile idea to pursue a similar project for Tamil 
<BR>i.e. collect the Tamil knowledge writings in the period 1500-1800 in 
<BR>the field of logic, astronomy, astrology, medicine, poetics, 
<BR>rhetorics, hermeneutics, grammer, prosody, geography, architecture 
<BR>both sacred and secular and put them in a single site.
<BR>
<BR>This will cover the collection of original manuscripts and printed 
<BR>material as well as how this knowledge was produced, distributed and 
<BR>discussed as well as biographical accounts of diferent intellectuals
