Tamil Information Technology Seminar in Zurich
22 June 2008
"..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..."
