Thamizh originated as the language of our forefathers, gradually, evolved to eponymously refer to the ethnicity and eventually, became a cohesive force uniting all its people. The Thamizhs built a vast civilization that flourished in different corners of the world. Thamizh infused in its people a certain cultural ethos characterized by courage and magnanimity. Although aeons have gone by, it has proudly preserved and nurtured its unique cultural identity from the stone age to the digital age.
Ancient Thamizh poetry categorized geographical landscapes as an outward expression or manifestation of human perception and emotion. Tamizhs gifted Thirukural to the world which emphasized that discharging one’s duty with integrity is the only true lasting wealth that can never be destroyed. Thamizh has also gifted us innumerable kings, philosophers, poets, authors and numerous books written by these great minds.
The twin virtues of duty consciousness and knowledge are the main reasons for the growth of the Thamizh language. For the past 1000 years, Thamizh people have adapted to the changing times and always upheld the importance of virtue and intelligence. It is our duty to follow in their footsteps and educate posterity about the history, way of life and the heritage of the Thamizhs.
