Tamils - a Trans State Nation..

"To us all towns are one, all men our kin.
Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill
Man's pains and pains' relief are from within.
Thus have we seen in visions of the wise !."
- Tamil Poem in Purananuru, circa 500 B.C 

TamilS  - a nation without a state

தமிழன் இனல்லாத நாடில்லை
- தமிழனுக் கென்று ஒரு நாடில்லை

Selected Kannadasan Lyrics

"...If only Kannadasan had been born in Europe or the USA, instead of Sirukuudalpatti village in the Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu, he probably would have become a Nobel laureate in literature and received international recognition. But on the other hand, Tamils would have lost a goliard, who composed lyrics in Tamil for every sentimental moment they experience in life...." Sachi Sri Kantha in Remembering Kannadasan
