Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Tamils written by Vijaya Ramaswamy and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tamils have an unbroken history of more than two thousand years. Tamil, the language they speak, is one of the oldest living languages in the world. The only people comparable to the Tamils in terms of their hoary past and vibrant present would be the Jews with one marked difference. The Tamils have always had their homeland 'Tamilaham' (alternately pronounced and spelt 'Tamizhaham') known today as Tamil Nadu which to them represents their mother and is revered by them as 'Tamizh Tai' literally ‘Tamil Mother’. This is in striking contrast to the Jews who have been through a long and arduous struggle to gain their homeland, a deeply contested site to this day with Hebrewisation of Israel being a key marker of Jewish identity in the region. Tamils, by contrast have a clear numerical majority in the region that now comprises Tamil Nadu and the language unites rather than divides adherents of different faiths. The second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Tamils contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Tamils.

Two couples, joined the migration of indentured labourers; one from the Moodley family, and the other from the Naicker family, from two different villages in South India. They arrived on different ships and were strangers to each other, but as the generations of these two couples evolved, the families became intrinsically linked, when in the fourth generation, a pair of identical twins were born, and separated at birth. The story follows the journeys of both twins; one of whom is lost in a stampede in India, and the other, adopted by a family in South Africa. The revelation of the reason, for the separation of the twins emerges eventually, propelling the one twin to fight all odds to find her lost twin sister. This fast-paced story traces the lives of each of the twins, and takes you across the vast Indian Ocean, to the distant and colourful land of India, where the twins are reunited. True to both their names, the girls were Banjaras, and floated through their lives like Free Spirits. SYLVIA GARIB
