Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains Ramachandra Dikshitar’s 1930 study of the Tamils, “Origin and Spread of the Tamils”. Tamil people are a Dravidian ethnic group who speak Tamil as their mother tongue. Numbering around 77 million people that live in many different countries, the Tamils are one of the of the biggest and oldest ethno-linguistic cultural groups that exist without their own state.

Ramachandra Dikshitar (1896 - 1953), was a historian, Indologist and Dravidologist from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. He was a professor of history and archaeology in the University of Madras and authored multiple text books on Indian history.

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.

Excerpt: ...were textbooks already composed, in which rules were given in detail for the performance of the several kinds of dancing then in vogue. These books are not now extant; but much information regarding dancing is available in the Chilappathikaram from which it appears that there were two kinds of plays, Aryan and Tamil. Of the Aryan plays eleven are mentioned and they represented the following mythological events: --1 (1) Siva burning Tripura. (2) Siva mounting the chariot brought by Brahma to take him to Tripura. (3) Krishna crushing the elephant sent by Kamsa. (4) Krishna wrestling with and killing Banasura. (5) Skanda defeating the Asura in Lanka. (6) Skanda fighting with the Asura army. (7) Krishna destroying the fort of Banasura. (8) Kamadeva disguised as a eunuch entering the fort of Banasura to save his son Aniruddha. (9) Durga crushing the Asuras. (10) Lakshmi deceiving the Asuras. ( 1) Ayrani, the wife of Indra, appearing before the northern gate of the fort of Banasura. Of the Tamil plays there were numerous kinds: --Some of them were in praise of the gods or kings and of their achievements; some in mimicry of men or animals; and some represented love scenes. Besides these the Kuravai dance, in which, seven, eight or nine persons danced together, standing in a ring, and clasping each other.s hands, was a favourite form of amusement. Both men and women joined in this dance and accompanied it with songs of love cr war.' Most of these plays were acted by dancing girls or actresses. The education of an actress commenced as early as her fifth year and was continued for seven years. The curriculum of her studies, as given in ancient poems would do credit to any accomplished lady of the present day-She was taught to dance and sing and carry.
