Telugu and Kannada existed when Tamil existed, just that they weren't written down. Of course Tamil is the oldest attested Dravidian language, though. But it is definitely not the "mother of all SI languages". Tulu is said to preserve the oldest festures of proto-Dravidian. @grok correct?

“Keep religion at home under lock and key” sounds like a noble idea. It is an attractive utopian thought, but fails miserably in practice. Consider Malik Kafur’s invasion of Tamilakam. Veera Pandya fought valiantly to resist the invasion. Among those who marched with the Pandya army, there were broadly two kinds of people: those who kept religion at home, and those whose took the religious identity along with them. During the campaign, the second group found that the invading army shared their religious identity. They chose to switch sides. The consequences were severe, and Veera Pandya suffered a major defeat. History reminds us that ideals must also withstand the test of human behaviour. Ignoring it will cost us big time.





@maa_bhaishiiH A text doesn't need to say that for that to be a possibility. Murugan could well have been a Kula Devta of the Kurinji land. In fact, குலம்/ குடி is a Tamil/ Dravidian rootword that Sanskrit borrows. So Ancestor Worsbip is a very early Dravidian belief.

விஜயநகர மன்னர்கள் ஆட்சி முடிவுக்கு வந்த பின், அவர்களின் படைத் தலைவர்கள் நாயக்கர்கள் ஆட்சி செய்து நம்மை காப்பாற்றினார்கள்... முகலாயனு க்கு அவன் கப்பம் கட்டாமல் இருந்தால் நீ இன்னிக்கு தமிழ் பெருமை பேச மாட்டாய்..அவன் உள்ளே வந்து உன் முப்பாட்டனை முக்கா நறுக்கி ஆக்கியிருப்பான்..🤣😂



Nakkeerar. Avvaiyaar. Kachiyappa Shivacharyar. Arunagirinadhar. Siddhar Bogar. Pamban Swamigal. Devaraya Swamigal. Kirubandha Vaariyar. So you're telling me that all these saints, mystics and devout poets over a period of 20 centuries missed the real identity of Murugan and it finally took a Seeman, Arivumathi and Paarisalan to see the truth about Murugar? Huh? If you had a single Muruga Bhakti cell functioning in your body, you wouldn't be desacralizing a God who's so dear to our land just for your petty politics.


Dumeels don't understand. Pongal is offered to sun. Not to jesus











For those wondering what script this is — it’s a personal writing system I created for my diary. Anyone familiar with Brāhmī, and who understands how Devanagari and Tulu-Tigularya scripts evolved, could read it. It will take 10–15 minutes to decipher this.👇



Madurai Nayaks, a #Telugu Nayaka dynasty, ruled most of present-day Tamil Nadu from their capital at Madurai for over 200 years. Nearly 80–90% of the magnificent #MeenakshiTemple complex seen today was built & expanded under their rule & patronage in the 16th–17th centuries.🛕
