Rama Spoke Tamil In Ayodhya

I came across an interesting article which sought to prove that Tamil was the language spoken throughout India in Bharatavarsha,Tamil being the Language of Mankind and Sanskrit of God's!

I could have brushed it aside for the thought seemed to be outrageous.

The references in the article were compelling, them being quoted from The Ramayana, the early Tamil Literature,Puranas .

The author tries to prove that Tamil was the spoken language of Bharatavarsha,Rama ,Hanuman spoke Tamil, Rama in Ayodhya, Hanuman when he met Lord Rama in Kishkinda Kandam.

It is said Sanskrit belongs to Aryan Group of languages while Tamil belongs to the Dravidian Group.

This thought was propagated by The British when they colonized India concurrent with the theory floated by them that the Aryans invaded Davidians.

I leave the judgement to the readers.

I feel that the references in the post need careful evaluation with an open mind.
'LP. KR. Ramanathan Chettiar and a host of others. He was widely respected as letters written to him by the great scholar and patron of scholars, Pandithurai Thevar, “Thamizh Thatha” U. Ve. Saminatha Iyer, Srinivasa Pillai of Thanjavur, who wrote the “Thamizh Varalaru”, Pandithamani Kathiresan Chettiar and others, which are in our possession now, show. He has established through these articles that Tamil was the spoken language throughout Bharath or India, during the Ramayana period and even earlier while Sanskrit was the language of the litterateurs and it was in Tamil that Lord Rama and others conversed in Ayodhya).'

First Tamils,Muslims Next,Now Hindus SriLanka

Sri Lanka seems to be in a self destruct mood post LTTE.

They first targeted Tamils,divided the Muslims of Indian origin from the Tamils,Then started attacking Muslims, including the burning od Mosques.

Now it seems that it is the turn of the Hindus .

In a comedy called History a joker has been publishing articles that the Tamils were Buddhists and Jains first and late became Hindus!

"Tamil Saivites who believe that Tamil and Saivism are inextricably intertwined are troubled by suggestions that Tamils were once mainly Buddhist and Jain before Saivism took root after the seventh century AD as the Thevaram Period began. Many Saivites whose ancestors converted at the time think Tamil Saivites who converted to Christianity in European colonial times are traitors."

This merits only laughter.

For I understand that this as natural , if coming from a man descended from a Lion!

But from a Tamil who is licking the boots of racists?

Is this guy Raj Narain or a Lalu Prasad Yadav to shower jokes?

At least they were/are harmless buffons.
