“It has become increasingly apparent over the last century, that Tamil is indeed one of the world’s great languages and that in it is expressed one of the world’s great ancient literatures. Such mystic outpourings as the poems of Thirumular, such philosophical penetration as that of Sankara and Ramanuja, such scientific brains as that of the other Ramanuja, the mathematician, or that of the late Nobel Prize winner Sir S.V.Raman do not arise in barren soil. Nor do the exquisite arts od Carnatic music and Bharatha Natyam. Imagination of this category springs from a richly inticate and articulate linguistic symbolism..”
