Gondi Women/Urimai Women/Velems

M.Kayalvizhi

Abstract

In reality, Women are the back bone of our society. They were given superior status and deep respect in our Tamil culture but due to Arayanization our ancestors treated them as slaves and servants. They defeated foreign countries and captured number of young women and keep them as their concubines in the Seraglio.The Chola and the Pandiya kings established various living quarters for this like women. The women were treated illegitimately always and no civil liberties were provided for them. From the Sangam age itself, this like bad treatment was enacted against them. On the ther words, Tamil kings, in one way honoured women and in other way misused them. They are called as Gondi Women or Urimai Women and the places they are kept are called as Velems. The paper investigates the related evidences in regard to Gondi Women and Velams.

Justice Foreseen by Paventhar Justice Seen by Sathanar

M.Vijayalakshmi

Dr. A. Govindarajan

Abstract

Tamil Society is a one with rich cultural past to the present. The rational ideas of them are seen through many ages. It seems a great wonder that a merchant of Rice. Corn and Cereals proved himself a great poet and wrote a great epic ‘Manimegalai’. It is the great Tamil poet Saathanar. His writings holds a social message with philanthrophic ideas. Hunger and  poverty evades shyness and makes one to beg at the gates of others with his wife and children.This has been understood best by him on those times. Saathanar wrote ‘Manimegalai’ with the most important idea of erradicating hunger. Buddha preached on the evils of untouchability, To him there is no disparity as a chandala and a brahmin  by birth.Only the ‘Good Habits’ and ‘Behaviour’ determine the individual. ‘Manimegalai’ is written on the Buddha's principles and emphasizes these ideas. All sorts of partialities lead people to become nuclear and evil. The social evils were condemned by the ancient Tamil writers and  Sattanar also shows rationale to the society against the oppression of the Aryan way of partiality in all sides. Like him, Pavendhar Bharathidasan also shows the domination and partial laws thrusted on the Tamil people by the Aryan rulers. Both had the same view on social vices. Hence, the article focuses on a comparative mode to find out the sililarities, in poetic diction and the theme of solidarity in bringing compassion and justice.

Diary Farming Technology- Ancient and Modern

Dr. A Rajakumary

Abstract

According to Hindu mythology, cattle farming refers to wealth. It becomes inseparable to human beings, because of it’s various needs they render in day to day life. Since ‘Sangakalam’  the people of ‘Mullai’ were practiced to a well mannered cattle livestock farming  in their farms. Those peoples were called in the names idayar, Aayar, kovalar etc. Even the Kings of Sangam Age had also given a special attention to this field due to it’s highly valued diary products. According to the modern diary farming, grazing for a minimum 8 hours is important to yield better milk and for the health of the cows. There are ample evidences in Sangam Literature that Aayar’s had spent the entire day for grazing. Works such as ‘Mullai Pattu’, ‘Purananuru’ and ‘Perumpanattrupadai’ has citations on the importance of grazing. But the modern diary farming system believes in technologies, inventions and highly nutritious cattle feed for better yield than grazing them with herbs, shrubs and grass. Most of the vetenarians advice grazing is better for cattle and for better yield. Hence the paper concludes that diary farm technology prevailed in Sangam Literature is much better and advisable for all kinds of environments such as our modern times too.

Sumerian and its Tamil Connection - A Review

2Ari Marappan, 3Indradevi Marimuthu

Abstract

This article reviews the researches on claims that Sumerian, a language isolate, is a Dravidian language, with close affinity towards Tamil Language. This claim goes back to the beginning of the 20th century and it is still going on until today. Even though this claim is not accepted by the mainstream scholars, in this paper, we have reviewed researches linking Sumerian language with Tamil language. We have summarized the researchers published and unpublished papers views on the ideas of the Sumerian and Tamil languages respectively. We have also included a new method in historical linguistics called Tamil Evolutionary Linguistics as a species of hermeneutic science, introduced by Loganathan as a way to identify Sumerian as Tamil. We have taken into consideration the works of HR Hall, A.Sathasivam, Loganathan, in this article. In this review, we have endeavoured to show not just a linguistic affinity between Sumerian and Tamil today but also a cultural continuity between these two in almost every aspect that defines a civilization.
