Vanakkam, I'm from Warsaw, Poland. Though my name sounds sanskrit, I'm a Thamizh. I've come here for my M.S.. I work part time as translator for Sri Lankan Tamils. Their state is pathetic here. Why is there no representation for them here. They are helpless and they work in bad conditions. I just know them because I've to translate for the officers to process their applications for refugee status. I hope you can help them to represent and help them for a better living. Nandri

I would like to ask you if it is possible to find  in web some materials about Tamil philosophy. My daughter is studying Tamil  language and culture at University of Warsaw. Her special interest is philosphy in general and comparative studies so I will appreciate any help which can extendour knowledge about your ancient and modern philosophical subjects. Kind regards

Response by tamilnation.org  You may want to look at Spirituality & the Tamil Nation and also  Tamil Culture - Contribution to World Civilisation - and the related links. You may also find  Grace in Christianity & Hinduism by Bishop Sabapathy Kulendran of interest.

Sir, I am unable to find ebooks on www.tamilnation.org. Guide me to some of the links where I can find them in pdf format

Response by tamilnation.org  Vannakam. A chronological index of etexts in PDF (and in unicode) released by Project Madurai appears here. Additionally, you will also find links to these PDF files in the subject sections like Kalki, Bharathiar, Thirumurai etc.

I'm working as an engineer by profession. In my schooldays I  concentrated only in English and now I'm afraid that I may forget my Tamizh . So I want to a start my new life with Tamizh .Can you please help me in doing that. I'm originally from Madurai.

I happened to visit your website(http://www.tamilnation.org/) and loved it. Its well maintained and fascinating. Your site is really captivating and urges the visitors to spend a lot of time navigating different sections.

While going through the list of Thamils perceived to be great people, I find that the name of a great educationist from Kallar in Batticaloa, Late W. A. V. Sinnatamby has not been brought up by anyone. A Cambridge Blue and an Instructor to the RAF in the 40s, Mr. Sinnatamby was a very simple man who produced many great men while he was a teacher at Trinity College, Kandy. A man who spoke near literary Thamil wore only veshti when he visited his home town and spoke only in Thamil to his Indian Thamil work force in the farm he managed. While all Thamil plantation managers spoke to their workers in Sinhalese, here was a man who was proud of his heritage by speaking only in his mother tongue.

I was hoping some one would be able to suggest academic publications or non-fiction texts written about the Tamil Genocide of 1983. As I am writing for academic purposes the source of the literature has to be of a scholarly nature. I am further, trying to track down a copy of Paul Sieghart's report "Sri Lanka: A Mounting Tragedy of Errors" I look forward to any suggestions

Response by tamilnation.org  Paul Sieghart's report was published by the International Commission of Jurists in March 1984. The ISBN is 0-907247-04-0. You may also find some related books at the Tamil Nation Library - Eelam Section.

I am a Tamil writer working in TV and Cinemas as dialogue writer. My friend is going to make a film based on a Tamil Eelam Refugee. He has asked me to work as dialogue writer for that movie. The film is a soft melodrama of a refugee's love. For that movie we need Tamil Eelam folk songs. Can u please tell us where we can get the songs. If the songs have been recorded audiographically we would be very much grateful.

I am a PhD student in the US and I do research on charity and relief activities of ethnic diaspora groups. I am especially interested in the charitable social service activities of groups that are often characterized as "violent". I found this article on your website, and I found it extremely interesting:
http://www.tamilnation.org/diaspora/tsunami/post.htm Through my research, I am trying to bring attention to the fact that so-called "terrorist" or "insurgent" groups are often involved in many benevolent and charitable activities, because overall they are interested in uplifting their communities. I was wondering if you might be able to point me in the direction of more information about community service activities conducted by the Tamil Tigers? I would be very appreciative if you have any ideas or people I could contact.

Response by tamilnation.org You may find some links of relevance in the Tamils Rehabilitation Organisation page. However our remit does not extend to arranging for personal contacts, interviews etc. between researchers and liberation organisations.

Greetings... About 6 years ago an assistant translated some of my Study Guides www.studygs.net into Tamil using an application called "Unicode" that used UT Tamil Nadu as a font. Unfortunately the font is now obsolete and I had to make a .pdf of the translations in order for anyone to see it. It is requested very often as an educational resource and I would like to transfer the text into a commonly used font for display as the other 28 languages, such as the font Latha or one you recommend. Unfortunately, I cannot alter the current display of the text into Latha or anything else.
Can you help? What would you recommend?

Response by tamilnation.org: Vannakam. Regretfully, we ourselves do not have the know how to help you. However you may want to contact http://www.suratha.com  who do have some considerable expertise in this area.

I was interested in reading the book "Arthamulla Indu Matham" by Kannadasan. But I am not a Tamilian and so wont be able to read the Tamil version. Can you please let me know if there is any English translation available. If it has been translated, could you please give me the details of the book.

Response by tamilnation.org: Vannakam.  Regretfully, we do not have much information in this regard. We know that Dr.Ramani Naidu did translate some sections "Arthamulla Indu Matham"but unfortunately, his website is no longer in existence. You may be able to contact him at <ramaninaidu@yahoo.com >.  You may also want to try the Agathiyar list, moderated by Dr.Jayabharathi - and to which Dr.Ramani Naidu continues to post.

This is a letter by a person, who would like to take classes in Tamil language in Chennai. I am a German clinical psychologist and PhD holder (Berlin Free University). At present, I am preparing for work with the UN system in the North East of Sri Lanka. It is my personal wish to get a quick and effective introduction into Tamil language prior to starting this work. I would like to spend 1 to 3 months in Chennai to study Tamil language and to achieve some background knowledge on Tamil culture and history. I am used to systematically studying foreign languages. What I am looking for is intensive full-time language training, ideally a combination of individual and group training. My kind request to you:

Could you please advice me on Tamil study opportunities in Chennai?

+ I would like to study in Chennai for up to 3 months.
+ I am interested in university as well as private institutes.
+ I would like to get started immediately.

Could you please forward this mail in case you would know about a more suitable address for my request?

Hello, Your website tamilnation.org is a thorough work indeed. I was born in Souillac and am presently researching and writing on Savanne. I attended the Permal Soobrayen Government School, formerly Souillac Govt. School. I have so far obtained some general information on this poet, writer and thinker who contributed significantly to education in Mauritius, including of course the Tamil culture and language. I cannot find him on your site. My late father, Dr L.P.Ramyead mentions Soobrayen very briefly in one of his books. And so does Ramoo Sooriamoorthy in his book. Could you please provide me with some more information on Permal Soobrayen?

Response by tamilnation.org: Regretfully, we do not have any information apart from that which appears in our Mauritius page.

From: Juan F. Domínguez Duque, School of Anthropology, Geography and Environmental Studies The University of Melbourne Room 157, SEECS Building, 221 Bouverie Street
VIC 3010 / Phone: (03) 8344 9170, [j.dominguez@pgrad.unimelb.edu.au ], 18 September 2005

My name is Juan F. Domínguez. I am a PhD student from Colombia, South America. I am part of a group of investigators at The University of Melbourne, Australia, and The Howard Florey Institute, a brain research centre in Melbourne. I am carrying out an anthropological and brain imaging research that includes the Australian Sri-Lankan Tamil community as one of two groups of study, the other being Australians of British descent.

My investigation attempts to identify the areas of the brain associated with different emotions and attitudes toward family members and how they change from one culture to another. Most research in neuroscience has involved the participation of Westerners only. This undoubtedly has biased the findings in this field. Different cultures have very distinctive and unique features. Brain research should increasingly include populations from different cultural backgrounds in order to account for this variability. It is for this reason that the Australian Sri-Lankan Tamil community together with a sample of Australians of British descent have been chosen as the two groups of study for this investigation. Indeed, the family practices of both groups are markedly different from one another. Both have their origin in rich traditions of very long standing.

I am writing to tamilnation.org because your Australian webpage is an important medium of communication for the Tamil people in this country. If it is alright with you, I would like to discuss the possibility of announcing my research through the Australian website of tamilnation.org in the hope that members of the Tamil community in Melbourne become aware of it and contact me for more information if they wish to participate. A detailed description of the project is available upon request.

Finally, I should bring to your attention that this project has been approved by the Human Ethics Committee of the University of Melbourne and by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Howard Florey Institute.

Hello/Vanakum - I am a Tamil in South Africa and having difficulty understanding the significance of the month of Puratassi. Is there perhaps anyone that can explain the month to me, in terms of festivals and or other events that are of significance to this time of year, is there any religious, cultural or geographical importance to be noted. Your assistance, information and or advise will be highly appreciated. Kind Regards

We are wondering if you could suggest us a few names from the Tamil intellectuals with whom we can talk over phone and who should be able to give Tamil's perspective on the Sri Lankan peace process. We would prefer to talk to the LTTE representatives. Confidentiality of the communication shall be maintained. Many thanks for your kind cooperation.

From: Kamalakannen Nayager, South Africa, 31 August 2005

Hello from South Africa. I happened upon your website in my search for my roots, and to me it was a fascinating journey, giving wonderful insight into the Tamil psyche. I must congratulate you on an amazing website, the address to which I will pass on. There are over 500,000 people of Tamil descent in South Africa, and I am sure that many of them would welcome the opportunity to explore their heritage. I would like to voice some of my thoughts.

My parents and their parents maintained that our Tamil identity was embodied in the Tamil language, Hindu religion and Tamil culture, which included one's personal identity, ie one's name. In the old South Africa, the state education system was Christian National Education, based on Calvinist principles. Christian propagation and western values led to large numbers of people of mainly Tamil origin forsaking their heritage for Christianity, bringing with it western names and abandonment of the spoken language and most aspects of the culture. There are, joyfully, still considerable numbers who have managed to perpetuate age-old practises like Kavady,and turn out in droves for such events. To conclude, I would like to believe that more and more people will go in search of their heritage, and I thank you for providing the ideal vehicle for this journey.

Response by tamilnation.org: Many thanks for your support. The togetherness of 70 million Tamils living in many lands and across distant seas is a growing togetherness. It is more today than it was 10 years ago. And ten 10 years ago it was more than it was 10 years before that. It is a togetherness that will grow from year to year. We may have much to learn from the world. But we also have much to contribute. May God Bless.

From: Chitta, Sri Lanka,  23 August 2005

At a time when Sri Lankan and Indian media are carrying out a malicious propaganda against the Tamils and LTTE, it is a relief to see a champion of our cause in Satchi Srikantha. He is very thorough in his research and very bold in expressing his opinion.
Almost every international writer or human rights worker(such as a doctor) supporting the Tamils of SriLanka is placed on a travel restriction list by the international airlines. I am aware that Mr.Srikantha and many of our friends were subjected to cancellation of travel or vigorous search during their air travel. The Sri Lankan Government
keeps a list of our activists and urges the the Western Governments to bar their travel. Striking down our democratic activists is their goal, while complaining about lack of "pluralism" in the NE regions of Sri Lanka. Please let Satchi know that thousands of Sri Lankans read his writings. We will be indebted to him for generations.

From: A.Annadurai, Singapore, 22 August 2005

Vannakam, I came across your website by accident a few weeks ago, whilst updating my websites through search engines.  I am extremely impressed by your dedication to Tamil history and language, and in maintaining such a website as this. It is most heartening to see there are people who belong to the Tamil language affinity and spirit. I have got my father of 71 hooked to the net as he is ardent patriot of Tamil language, people, history and philosophy.Vazgha Valamudan.Nandri.

I don’t know where this marvellous site is hosted from, who is hosting, who is contributing...and so on. But, this is a GREAT effort of all times and we Tamilians owe you many thanks, for every soul that has participated in this magnificent effort. I’m running out of words because English isn’t that rich as Tamil. I have always been proud of being a Tamilian, but surfing this site re-kindled and refreshed my belongingness. This is an absolute evidence of Tamil richness and oneness.  Thank you all from my heart's depth. Love you all.

Response by tamilnation.org: As always, we are deeply humbled and grateful when we receive comments such as yours - such comments also help to sustain us in our work. Mikka Nanri. May God Bless.

From: Muthu Ram, Singapore, 18 August 2005

Constructive feedback - I applaud your effort in honouring the works of a such great tamil poet like Kannadasan, however I found some errors in your website pertaining the place of his birth. It should be Sirukuudalpatti, in Ramanathapuram District instead of Sirukatalapatti in Ralnanathapuram District. However unintentional, facts cannot be distorted at any cost. I hope you and your team will take it a positive stride and do the necessary amendments.

Response by tamilnation.org: Many thanks for pointing out the error. We have now made the correction.

From: Priya Swaminathan, MTV Networks, New York USA, 16 August 2005

Dear Tamil Nation, I am writing with regards to a documentary series about youth in conflict zones that I am producing for MTV Networks. The series, conceived as "60 minutes" for the MTV generation, will focus in on economic, social, political, and environmental conflicts that effect our audience's peers around the world. Having traveled to the Tamil Eelam in February with a team of physicians, I wanted to produce an episode for the series about the conflict in Sri Lanka. It is with regards to this show that I am reaching out to you.

The main objective of the program will be to educate MTV's young audience about Sri Lanka's history and civil war. We aim to dispel stereotypes our audience may have about the conflict by offering them a personal look into life in Sri Lanka through the voices of their peers abroad. While this may seem basic, we hope that breaking our viewers' preconceptions and offering them an understanding of the conflict will allow them to better connect with the issue at hand and get active in their own communities.

I am interested in learning more about the conflict through the eyes of young Tamils (ages 15-27) who have left behind their homeland and moved to the West to get a sense of why they left and the challenges of leaving behind family and friends. I hoped that tamilnation.org might be able to pass my contact information on to any young people interested in telling me their story - whether it pertains to immigration, a family member who remains in a tense city, etc.

Previous shows we have produced for MTV - including the 2004 Edward R. Murrow Award receipient for Best Television Documentary ("True Life: I'm Living in Iraq") as well as programs about Colombia and the West Bank - were seen by upwards of 30 million viewers in living rooms, film festivals, and high school classrooms around the world. For many viewers, these were the only hours spent examining the challenging social issues that undoubtedly effect their own lives. We plan to reach just as large of an audience with this show.

I would love to talk to you more about the show and to hear any ideas you may have. Please don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail ( priyaswaminathan@nyc.rr.com ) or at 212 662 4091. I look forward to speaking with you!

Response by tamilnation.org: Regretfully, we ourselves do not offer interviews. However, we have posted your request in our Comments page so that visitors to tamilnation.org may contact you directly, if they so desire. We wish you well with your efforts to educate MTV's young audience about Sri Lanka's history and civil war.

While we appreciate your efforts on maintaining the site,the new Tamil fonts used is making reading very difficult.Why don't you choose some other Tamil fonts in line with the normal letters instead of this "new tamil" font. I have stopped reading the Tamil article now as it is very difficult to read something with which we are not familiar. Regards.

Response by tamilnation.org: The unicode fonts that we use will need to be installed in the way that we have described in our Tamil Fonts & Software page. Additionally you may  find the information at Wikipedia Tamil Font Help useful as also the following remarks by Wikipedia: "...Unicode is an universal character set which defines code points for each character in almost every script in the world including Tamil. It is an internationally accepted standard published by the Unicode Consortium Unicode Consortium and supported in most Operating Systems. The Tamilnadu Government is representing Tamil on the Unicode Consortium through the Ministry of Information and Technology, Govt of India.Why does Tamil Wikipedia use Unicode? - It's an accepted standard (see above section) - Software to view and edit comes either with the Operating System or is freely available - Search is seamless - It is extremely easy to translate the wikipedia's interface."

I am a PhD student at Syracuse University, USA. I'm currently working on a project that attempts to assess the impact of 9/11 on the discourse and diplomacy efforts of the LTTE. I am trying to locate the 1989 Heroes Day speech of Mr. Prabhakaran. I would be grateful if you could point me towards a source where I can find this. Also, I would be grateful if you could tell me about some sources for Mr. Prabhakran's speeches and interviews after 9/11. Thank you.

Vanakkam. I am a Ph.D scholar in American Studies, in the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. tamilnation.org is a wonderful attempt to "nurture the growing togetherness of more than 70 million Tamil people" around the world. And, "To us all towns are one, all men our kin" intelligently placed on the top of the Home Page aptly reflects "Yaathum oorae, yaavarum kelir". This very rightly reflects the mission statement. I am thrilled to see the site.

From: Phillip Pragasam, Australia, 4 August 2005

Re Response by tamilnation.org to (Retd)Colonel Hariharan - tamilnation.org's responses were as always most appropriate: "Whatever may be said, whosoever may say it - to determine the truth of it, is wisdom" - Thirukural …and the Tamil people are not without wisdom. Akin to ‘… watching Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark” . We are not ‘Vadi Kattina Muttals’. Col.Hariharan and other observers who seek to ‘take stock” of the Tamil people’s struggle would do well to take note.

From: M.Anandakumar, 23 July 2005

In the page, http://www.tamilnation.org/books/Nationalism/sangarapillai.htm I appreciate that you accept Tamil Brahmins as Tamils. But I would like to point that Jainism and Buddhism were the dominant religions in our land before Saivaisam and Vaishavaisam took over. The people in  Eelam were insulated from their spread. But the two ancient religions of almost 2500 years ago deserve respect. Buddhist monastries were patronized by Chola kings, who were themselves Saivaites. There are literary contributions by these religions just like Saivaism and Vaishavaisam. Hinduism is a name given to the religious practices of the people east of the Indus river by the Westerners. The Tamil people always took the religion patronized by the state. The last of the Tamil kings were Saivaites. Christianity did not become dominant because it was patronized by foreign rulers and alien to ours. Saivaism became dominant after incorporating our folklore god Murugan as a son to Siva. We need to accept and state all the facts when presenting Tamil history and let the reader judge. This a good informative site you have.

From: Ramachandran Gurumoorthy , 19 July 2005

I stumbled upon your website by accident and was amazed to see the efforts involved. It gives me such pleasure that the Tamil literature community is so vibrant and thriving and there are people who still care about the language. Hats off or you, your team and the efforts. I was surprised to see that Sahitya Academy winner P.V. Akilandam missing from the list and so was his Vengaiyin Maindhan. I am a great fan of the novel and would really appreciate if you could make available the PDF document for the same. I read the novel as a kid, when I was in the 9th grade and at 25, still can't seem to forget it. Thank you so much. Once again kudos to your team.

Response by tamilnation.org: Vannakam. Mikka Nanri. The Project Madurai effort with more than two hundred volunteers is led by Dr.Kalyanasunderam from Switzerland and Dr. Kumar Mallikarjunan in USA and it is to them and their team that the credit goes for making freely available on the internet many of the classics of Tamil Literature. The works of Sahitya Academy winner P.V. Akilandam do not appear in the Project Madurai list and this may be due to copyright issues. Again, it may be that volunteers have not come forward to carry out the arduous task of keying  in the Tamil, proof read etc. You may want to get in touch directly with Dr.Kalyanasunderam in this regard - you will find his email contact in the Project Madurai Introduction Page.

From: N.Prasath, 18 July 2005

Hi tamilnation.org, This is a good site, thanks to Google. I happened to like this site much because my favorite poet is Bharathiyar and its good that you have managed to get the voice or feelings from Chellamal which was given some in 1951. Thanks and good wishes for the effort.

From: Alisa Margaret StackOConnor,  [STACKOCONNORA@ndu.edu ], USA,  Sometime Assistant Director, Counter-Terrorism Policy for the Office of the US Secretary of Defense, presently Researcher at the US National Defence University , 12 July 2005

I’m researching how & why the LTTE employs women and have used Adele Ann’s writings. I would like to interview Ms. Balasingham, and other LTTE members and supporters (both male & female) about the history of women’s involvement in the LTTE and other Tamil guerrilla groups, rules for women’s involvement, and how women have changed the LTTE. Is there a way to reach Ms. Balasingham? Thanks.

Response by tamilnation.org:  Vannakam. We thank you for your continued interest in tamilnation.org.  Your research interests as an academic at the US National Defence University make interesting reading. Regretfully, the remit of tamilnation.org does not extend to arranging for personal contacts, interviews etc. between researchers and liberation organisations. Having said that, we must admit that the circumstance that in this instance, the researcher is from the US National Defence University  and the liberation organisation is one that has been banned as a terrorist organisation by the US,  does lend a certain piquancy to your request.  Given that the LTTE is banned in both the US and the UK, but not banned in Sri Lanka, you may want to address your request to the US Embassy or the UK High Commission in Colombo or perhaps to the Sri Lanka Government Peace Secretariat and/or the Norwegian facilitators of the Peace Process.
