Why TAMIL-FANATICISM?
While it is QUITE A WELCOME STEP
... as well as a PROGRESSIVE APPROACH...
... backed by the HEALTHY OBJECTIVE...
... to develop our Great and Rich Language Tamil,
.....by encouraging to use Tamil words to the Maximum as for possible,
I am surprised to see...
.... the PRESENT DELETERIOUS approach...
.... of UNWELCOME TREND of FANATICISM.... or Tamil-chauvinism...!!!
Is it good for the future Generation of Tamilians?
Why not we call a Computer as COMPUTER ...?
... Why KANINI....? What is the ADVANTAGE ?
... and what we will lose by calling the Incubator as INCUBATOR only or in the Tamilised form nearest to it as illustrated below leaving it to the common-folks convenience?
Why this HEAD-BREAKING EXERCISE ....?????????????????.
.... to CREATE a new NAME for an INVENTION. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..
........ having already an ORIGINAL NAME !.. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????
.... What is the necessity?
Just think awhile on our parallel experience...
... on such FUTILE ENDEAVOUR ! !
Even illiterate People call... even now... after some centuries....
.... only in the near Original forms of English or Arabic.. in practice.
... irrespective of an IMPOSITION of translated TAMIL names.
For Example.....
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Original .................Tamil-Translation..................... Practical Name in Vogue
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Bus ...........................PAERUNDHU.............. ...................... PUSSU ....
Bus-Stand................PAERUNDHU NILAIYAM................PUSTAENDU
Railway Station ....PUHAI-VANHDI NILAIYAM........ RAYIL TAESUNU
Park (Rly Stn)........ POONGA.......................................... PAARK TAESANU
Engineer....................PORHIYAALHAR.......... ....................INJINEEYARU
Supervisor............... MAELAALHAR...................................SOOPR AESARU
Jilla (District).......... MAAVATTAM................................... JILLA
Taluq.......................... VATTAM............................................ THAALUKA
Engine.........................IYANTHIRAM......... .............................INJINU
Hospital.......................MARUTHUVA-MANAI......................AASPITHALU
Radio........................... VAANOLI........................................... .RADIO
Telephone................. THOLAI PAESI...................................TELIPHONU.
-------------------------------------------------------------------.
If we say "KANINI" for Computer,
... how many people understand it...(.even amongst Tamilians)?...
... better than calling it as COMPUTER ...itself...?
... So to say...in its Original form of Language... whatever be.!!
Similarly people of other States translate in their Language,thus creating SEVERAL NAMES, how can it be understood if all such different people discuss at one meet... even if they discuss through any Indian Non-English media.
We have adequately well-experienced in such CONGLOMERATIONS!!!
....when a Tamilian says.... MINSAARAM...
... Telugus...... VIDHYUTH-SAKTHI....
....Hindiwalahs........ BIJLI....
.... For one and the same well-known word : ELECTRICITY....!!.
English people have NOT translated the Tamil Word KATTU-MARAM..
.... But call it as CATAMARON....
Similarly for the Tamil word MILHAHU- THANNEER (Pepper-Water),
.... they say MILKATHANEE ..
.
.... and such Modified terminologies has been added to their Encyclopaedia and Dictionary too !!
So..Why should we not call the COMPUTER ...INCUBATOR... ROCKET... and the like in itheir Original Names or the nearest leaving it to the RESPECTIVE COMMONFOLKS CONVENIENCE in all the Languages?
Don't we call X'RAY, TELEVISION, RADIO and the like?
Why should we not be realistic on this matter, as advised by Rajaji?
