What is the meaning of AD, BC, BCE and CE? r
The service of Veerama munivar to Tamil language is unparallelled. The structure and shape of Tamil letters, exclamation and other marks for breaking sentences
into simple entities were his singular service to the cause of Tamil. [r]
After the advent of the Christian Missionaries and the development of the Printing Press, Tamilnadu had the singular honour of getting a book in print in the entire Asia. [r]
The slant towards Sanskritisation starts with the Jains and the Buddhists whose philosophy were introduced in that language. Epics, ethical works, grammatical works, lexicons, Puranas, Prose etc. [r]
