tamil is the mother of all other dravidian language(but not the tamil what we are using now).tamil s one of the 7 classical language of the entire world.first linguistic book of the world "Tholkapiyam" written in tamil.
now hibru(jues language) [ sic hebrew & jew ]and tamil are only the two classical language is still being pracitsed in written and spoken form.sanskrit just remains in writtern form.
Tamil race in early history didn't have cast and religion. our god is nature,our religion is nature. not the induisam..
india is a country name. there is no race called as indians in india.
what i felt when you say you are a "Malaysian Tamil", or "Malaysian Dravidian" then they cant say that you are from india. they cant ask you to go back to your country as there is no Tamil country is avilable for us till now after the brtish rule.
periyar tried to create a dravidian country by bringing kannnada,telugu malayalam and tamil together.you can try the same ideology over there.
when you don't claim that you are Indians and yr religion is not Hinduism the Muslim Malay will see you from a different point of view..
i am not sure what i am saying abt the situtaion over there is correct or not? as i am a outsider.thanx for sharing yr views.make my vision broader.
thank you,
ram.
