Tamil Language - "Cradle of Civilization"

I always defend the Tamil civilization as one of the oldest civilization, when people make fun of it (either ways it is fact too). I am not writing this post with any racist notion or being proud, it is just what I want to say to people who blame Tamils for being proud of Tamils.
I have come across few mentally retarded Indians, not being rational or with reasonable analytical skills at-all on what they say about anything/everything specifically about Tamil feeling (“Dravida pattru” or “Tamil pattru”). Dravidian feeling is not what I want to talk about now, cause the theory itself a fake.
Just to chronicle my point on Tamil language being oldest in the earth and long before other Indian languages have come in. That is “Kal Thondri Man Thondra Kaalatthey Mun thondri Moottha kudi” this is a 2nd Century Tamil Literature – meaning before the stone became sand in Earth came the Tamil Tribes.
We still see controversies surrounding the existence of Kumari Kandam aka Lemuria Island, I still do not vouch the authenticity but I strongly believe in its existence. Again, I am not being cat on the wall. Some can still ask me for the proof?
Well you can see Tholkappiam which is 300 BCE Tamil literature. Tholakappiam say more about the grammatical expression of Tamil Language. According to many archaeologists Tamil language evolution dates back to 3000 years on the basis of Tholkappiam, but still we cannot conclude the evolution of Tamil language on the basis of Tholkappiam cos this literature is about grammar of Tamil, but not the evolution of Tamil language as such. What I mean is if the Tamil is 3000 years based on Tamil grammar literature Tholkappiam then its evolution would date back at least 6000 to 8000 years. Any language should have evolved in a certain sequence of order

1) Oral expression
2) Writing starts
3) Organized literature begins
4) Here comes the Grammar at the end (this is 3000 years before).

Accordingly Tamil Language evolution started before 10000 to 11000 years before. According to some renowned archaeologists and professors the timeline for civilization started before 15000 years and before that human race was in forest life.
This certainly proves the Tamil language as oldest among all to an extent.
Coming back to Lemuria Island aka Kumari Kandam...it is said to be plunged into water before 12000 years ago and the ICE AGE or ice berg movement happened in-between 10000 to 15000 years ago. There are more possible chances that kumari kandam had plunged into water by then. There are archaeologists stressing on more deep researches to be carried out in Indian Ocean to rule out lot of findings on evolution and other historical facts. There are many more milestones to achieve before we come to any conclusions.
So, my advice to non-tamil speaking people: Don’t envy Tamil’s for your language is not as old as ours, Don’t get offended when Tamils praise their language.. If you are still not convinced with Tamil pattrulla people there are few Tamil’s, sorry Tamil Peter’s and Tamil Mary’s around the globe you can breathe easy about that.
Here are few more facts which I referred from other sites:
- Tamils traded with Romans during Chola empire, before even Vas go da gama found sea route to India. Tamils established and retained the sea route to Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. The trade, communication, spread of civilization was tremendous since those days.
- Cholas conquered Andaman, Maldives, and Northern Silence.
- During pandya dynasty was Madurai Meenakshi amman temple built, the city dates back to 300 BC. Pandya Empire sent its embassies to Rome then.
- If south India’s rich cultural structural like Tanjore temple is being spoken since 1010 then it is because of Chola empire.
Tell me what do other Indian languages hold in front of such a rich, oldest and strong Tamil language? Please come up only with facts...not B***S****
Tamils even today hold up their race as being Tamils, unlike a fake mask worn by other Indian states. But there is an exception about Marathi’s :P, I meant Thackrey.
