ORIGIN AND SPREAD OF THE TAMILS A COURSE OF TWO LECTURES DELIVERED UNDER THE SANKARA-PARVATI ENDOWMENT, UNIVERSITY OF MADRAS BY V. R. RAMACHANDRA DIKSHITAR, M. A., University of Madras N08670 THE ADYAR LIBRARY 1947 Price Rs. 3-8-0 Printed by C. Subbarayudu, at the Vasanta Press, The Theosophical Society, Adyar, Madras P. I. C. No. 855-5-1947. PREFACE THE following pages represent a course of lectures delivered under the terms of the Sankara-Parvati En dowment, University of Madras, on the 29th and 30th of November 1940. An endeavour has been made in these lectures to examine the prevalent opinion held by scholars, both Western and Indian, on the origin of the Dravidians and their culture, and it is shown that the Tamils were the original inhabitants of the land, who had evolved an independent culture of their own which is generally known as Dravidian. These Tamils have handed down their culture to the succeeding generations in the East as well as in ttye West. Thus their contribution in the ancient and the modern times is something original, arresting and impressive. The Notes 1 appended to these lectures may enable the readers to form a judg ment on the conclusions reached by the author. I have to thank the Syndicate of the University of Madras for inviting me to deliver these lectures and permitting me to print them. I am grateful to Dr. G. Srinivasa Murti, B. A., B. L., M. B. C. M., Vaidyaratna, Captain, Honorary Director of the Adyar Library for having generously included VI this book in the Adyar Library Series. My thanks are also due to Sri Rao Bahadur K. V. Rangaswami Aiyangar for having read through the typescript of the lectures and Dewan Bahadur C. S. Srinivasa Chari forhaving helped me in the preparation of the Notes. 7 I also record my thanks to Mr. A. N. Krishna Aiyangar of the Adyar Library for pushing the work through the press by correcting the proofs and furnishing the book with an Index. The neat and expeditious printing of the work by the Vasanta Press has placed me under great obligation to the Manager, Mr. C. Subbarayudu. Madras V. R.

According to the geologist the antiquity of South India and Ceylon goes to the earliest Geological times. From Palaeozoic times there was the continent of Gondwana extending from Australia through Peninsular India and South Africa on to South America. At the close of the Mesozoic era this continent of Gondwana land broke up large areas went under the ocean. Australia, India. South Africa and South America became separ ated. But it is believed that India and Africa were still connected by an isthmus bridge, and to this the name Lemuria has been given. In the Jurassic epoch the eastward extension of the Indian Peninsula sank beneath the sea and gave rise to the Bay of Bengal. 1 Towards the end of the last Glacial period the sea level which was low, rose again with the melting of ice and resulted in extensive reef formation. It was during this period again the large area of dry land including Sumatra, Java and Borneo became eroded and pene planed, and when the sea rose, thepeneplaned area 1 See footnotes at end of the lectures. 2 ORIGIN AND SPREAD OF THE TAMILS became drowned, thus separating various islands. This geological action is explained as the occurrence of a great deluge in the Vedic, Epic and Puragic works, Manu who survived this catastrophe became the father of mankind. According to the account in the Bkagavata Pur tia, a part of the Dravida desa which centred the Malaya Hill survived this deluge. It is said that a fish who is regarded as the first avatar of Tirumal Sans...

This book focuses on the role of U.S. and European churches, academics, think-tanks, foundations, government and human rights groups in fostering separation of the identities of Dravidian and Dalit communities from the rest of India. It is the result of five years of research, and uses information obtained in the West about foreign funding of these Indian-based activities. The research tracked the money trails that start out claiming to be for education, human rights, empowerment training and leadership training, but end up in programs designed to produce angry youths who feel disenfranchised from Indian identity. The book reveals how outdated racial theories continue to provide academic frameworks and fuel the rhetoric that can trigger civil wars and genocides in developing countries. The Dravidian movement's 200-year history has such origins. Its latest manifestation is the Dravidian Christianity - movement that fabricates a political and cultural history to exploit old faultlines. The book explicitly names individuals and institutions, including prominent Western ones and their Indian affiliates. Its goal is to spark an honest debate on the extent to which human rights and other empowerment projects are cover-ups for these nefarious activities.
