"..The print revolution brought Tamil from the ola leaves to paper, from the select few
literati to the many. The digital revolution is bringing Tamil from paper to the computer
and the internet. Swaminathatha Iyer and
Thamotherampillai heralded the
Tamil renaissance in the 19th century.
Today, a Tamil digital renaissance is
taking place - and is helping to bring Tamil people together not
simply culturally but also in political and economic terms..."
