Do you know that high school text books sponsored by Indian gov for CBSE schools do not discuss Chola kings? They want to hide the Tamil history.
Indian government takes over archeological sites suggesting ancient Tamil civilization, and then do not carry out the excavations and carbon dating artifacts. Even the High Court ruled that Indian gov is ignoring archeological sites in Tamil Nadu.
This is news to me, sad news.
I practically grew up with the Tamils, having Appam and Thosai for breakfast daily.
Tamils are intelligent and hardworking people.
I don't understand why India would not want to promote Tamil values.
Going by the contribution in Singapore by Tamils, Indian economy would be much worse without them.
I read somewhere that evidence of very ancient civilization is found in Tamil Nadu.
I have many Indian friends, but only recently I get to know this "caste" thing is still being practiced.
My Tamil friends abhor these "North" Indians from India.
Our Deputy Prime Minister is a very popular Tamil, Tharman Shanmugaratnam, who may become our next Prime Minister.
India should also have a Tamil Prime Minister rather than these gau rakshaks.
Frankly the more I read about India, I get more disappointed.
.
I think Tamil influence should replace all references in text of "Indian influence" in Southeast Asia.
We wrongly interchange the terms "Tamil" and "Indian".
I wonder why we in Singapore call the Sikhs, "Singhs", but we call the Tamils "Indians".
Should have correctly addressed them "Tamil" or "Tamilian".
Too late now.
