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).'
