Tamil Adhiyaman Ikshvahu Introduced Sugarcane To World

The ancestor and the funder of Lord Rama's Dynasty,Ikshvahu name means 'Sugarcane'

As I have posted earlier Ikshvahu's ancestor, Satyavrata Manu,also called Vaivasvatha Manu,migrated from the South,Tamil Nadu with his sons to the North.

The Dravidas , people of the South,knew the cultivation of Sugarcane.

There is a mention of this in Tamil Poet,Avvayar's poem on King Adhiyaman .
