      So you have to make another video on Kerala and Malayalis (Malayalam language speakers). Modern day Kerala and it's language Malayalam have started to split from the then Tamil initiating from last centuries of BC and completed by the 8th century AD from commencement of separate calendar system in Kerala called Kollam Era. The earliest stone inscription with a reference on Kerala is the Edicts of Ashoka (BC 274-237). Kerala is mentioned as "Keralaputho" (Kerala Puthra Sanskrit word meaning sons of Kerala) in the second and thirteenth Ashoka Sthambhas. It may be noted that Kerala is not mentioned as "Cheram" while "Cholas" and the "Pandyas" are named as such. As of now, the earliest inscription which could be ascribed to Malayalam language and the inscribed phrase is different from the Tamil is the Hero Stone procured from the Pulikomb of Theni district which date backs to 2nd century BC.
      The migration of Jews, the arrival of Saint Thomas and his descendants Saint Thomas Christians, the first Mosque of South Asia, the spice trade through the Muziris port, Kollam port, the arrival of Portuguese, the first printing press in South Asia, the gold reservoir of Padmanabha Swamy temple which is mentioned in the video all happened in Kerala and are the integral part of us making us Malayalis and Malayalam culture distinct from the Tamils and Tamil culture elsewhere. We Malayali culture embraces the difference among us making Kerala a thriving place of cultural diversity(54%Hindus, 26%Muslims, 18%Christians) in tandem with harmony unlike in Tamil culture.
      Therefore the Cheras, Kerala, Malayalam and Malayali should not be identified with the Tamils in Common Era.

    I'm a Tamil living in Mumbai ( surrounded by non-tamils) so I never really got the hype around Tamil pride. Add to the fact that Tamil heroes/politicians always use Tamil pride as an excuse to win people's hearts (which works). So it rubbed me off the wrong way. But this video reignited my pride of being a Tamil, while teaching me a lot about Tamil Eelam as well. Sincerely thank you for this. You did a stupendous job as usual ❤️

When we went on a tour of the Taj Mahal I got questioned by a couple of soldiers who thought I had the wrong ticket - one of them couldn't believe I was Indian enough to hold an OCI so he asked me in Hindi if I spoke Hindi and I answered, "இல்லை, தமிழ் பேசுகிறேன்!"... I'm not sure he understood the message, but it made my mother-in-law proud!

      @@anonmuyous Good day Aditya. I’m from Durban , one of the largest Indian communities outside of India. Indians where brought here by the British as indentured laborers back in 1860. Majority of Indians in South Africa are from Tamilnadu, Northern India(Hindi speaking) and Telugu speaking parts of India . There are some small Gujarati people and other groups. But the majority are Tamil or Hindi speaking. I’m a proud South African as we have our own South African culture but we also love our own roots- You can even see the influence of India in the food that we consume- almost every famous fast food chain has a bit more spice to the menu - Admittedly, most Indians in South Africa (70’- to present day) can’t speak our native languages as we’ve become way too anglicized- taking English as our home language- however our grandparents and some parents still speak the Indian languages. But there is still a great pride given to culture with Bollywood-Kollywood being very big here as well as learning Indian music etc. I can tell you that Tamils in South Africa have definitely not lost that blind optimism and pride for their culture. Tamils here still believe it’s the most beautiful language ever. Diwali and other festivals are practiced here, but amongst the Tamils - the holy time of Thaipoosam Kavady is taken very seriously.

      When grieved, we patient suffer; for, we deem
      This much-praised life of ours a fragile raft
      Borne down the waters of some mountain stream
      That o'er huge boulders roaring seeks the plain
      Tho' storms with lightning's flash from darkened skies.
      Descend, the raft goes on as fates ordain.
      Thus have we seen in visions of the wise!

Rightfully so I have had experience of people I know going to South India and saying it's like a different country. I'm Tamilan who grew up in the North so I got best of both worlds.

      Two thousand years later Maurya empire conquered everything
      Gupta and chola empire made a brief appearance
      Delhi Sultanate was a clusterfuck
      We know each and every mughal emperor's personalities, favourite cities, political leaning, favourite food, Names of their wives, kids, their kid's favourite food and what they thought about religion.
      The british used devide and conquer to get everyone

    As an Indonesian, I can see many Tamil heritage founded in Indonesia starting from the languages, the cuisine, the fashion, etc. Starting from the language, the native Palava script founded throughout Indonesia which is also the writing system of Java, Bali, and Old Malay resembles the writing system of the Tamil language, the characteristics of the "M" shape is very intensively used in the Javanese and Balinese script resembling Tamil. Secondly the cuisine, in Indonesia there is a famous and popular snack called "kue Appam", when I furtherly researched it, it was actually brought from South India because the ingredients and the shape was identically the same (using coconuts), and in Indonesian cuisine we use "Santan" (coconut milk) in almost everything, the same as to tamil/dravidian cuisine. And for fashion, just be shocked to surprise, both Tamil and Indonesian men wear a single cloth for their lower dress, its called as Sarung in Indonesia and Lungi in south India, exactly the same, probably brought in by Tamilians to Indonesia during the reign of Hindu/Buddhist kingdoms in Indonesia before the 13th century AD

      He has to make another video on Kerala and Malayalis (Malayalam language speakers). It's wrong to identify us with the Tamils. Modern day Kerala and it's language Malayalam which is mentioned in the video have started to split from the then Tamil initiating from last centuries of BC and completed by the 8th century AD from commencement of separate calendar system in Kerala called Kollam Era. The earliest stone inscription with a reference on Kerala is the Edicts of Ashoka (BC 274-237). Kerala is mentioned as "Keralaputho" (Kerala Puthra Sanskrit word meaning sons of Kerala) in the second and thirteenth Ashoka Sthambhas. It may be noted that Kerala is not mentioned as "Cheram" while "Cholas" and the "Pandyas" are named as such. As of now, the earliest inscription which could be ascribed to Malayalam language and the inscribed phrase is different from the Tamil is the Hero Stone procured from the Pulikomb of Theni district which date backs to 2nd century BC.
      The migration of Jews, the arrival of Saint Thomas and his descendants Saint Thomas Christians, the first Mosque of South Asia, the spice trade through the Muziris port, Kollam port, the arrival of Portuguese, the first printing press in South Asia, the gold reservoir of Padmanabha Swamy temple which is mentioned in the video all happened in Kerala and are the integral part of us making us Malayalis and Malayalam culture distinct from the Tamils and Tamil culture elsewhere. We Malayali culture embraces the difference among us making Kerala a thriving place of cultural diversity(54%Hindus, 26%Muslims, 18%Christians) in tandem with harmony unlike in Tamil culture.

      Linguistically they are sister languages, Modern Tamil and Malayalam. Both descended from the same language and both have varied different degrees of archaic to that ancestor language. As they are in same language family they have shared vocabularies too.

      akanaka naṭpatu naṭpu.
      tirukkuṟaḷ
      ISO15919}
      {mukanaka naṭpatu naṭpaṉṟu neñcattu
      akanaka naṭpatu naṭpu.
      tirukkuṟaḷ}
      Apart from the word നട്പു/நட்பு(today it is present as നൺപ്/நண்பு in malayalam) every other words are still present in malayalam exactly as it was pronounced in thirukural time.
      Thirukural{ISO} = real/pure malayalam{ISO} = standard malayalam(english){ISO}
      മുക/முக{muka}= മുകം മുകർ മോറ്{mukaṁ mukar mōṟ}= മുഖം(face)
      നക/நக {naka}= നക{naka}= ആഭരണം(ornament)
      നട്‌പ്/நடப்பு{naṭpu}= നൺപ്{naṇpă}= സുഹൃത്സ്നേഹം (friendship)
      അൻറു/அன்று{anṟu}= അന്നു (ഇന്നിയ = ഇല്ലാത്ത){annu(inniya=illatta)}= അല്ല(no)
      നെഞ്ചു/நெஞ்சு{neñcu}= നെഞ്ച്{neñcă}= ഹൃദയം( heart)
      അക/அக {aka}=അകം{akam} = അകം(inside)
      But today modern tamil the word നക/நக is present as நகை/നകൈ but malayalam able to preserve it as നക/நக. All these words are still present in the Malayalam dictionaries. So Malayalam language can claim a bunch of Sangam literature and is not the monopoly right of Modern Tamil.

    The only slight correction I would make though, would be about the reason behind the Britiah hiring more Srilankan Tamils than Sinhalese.
    One of the main reasons was that the Lankan Tamils created a network of schools that provided a British education just so they would not have to rely on the other schools that were run by missionaries (this idea also later spread to south India)
    [Check the "Hindu colleges of jaffna", "Navalar" etc for more info] .This proliferation resulted in a much larger pool of educated locals from the Lankan Tamil community. They also served in clerical positions in other parts of the British empire, like south east Asia/south Africa etc.

That is why you can find Indians in Trinidad and Tobago Guyana, Kenya, etc. Majority of Tamil people were sent to Singapore to work, which is why there are so many there right now and why one of the official languages of Singapore is Tamil

    I am a Bengali Hindu from Bangladesh. I love my Tamil brothers and sisters. I am now in Germany, and I live with some brothers from South India and they are the nicest human beings I have ever met.
    We, Bangladeshi people also fought for our language. In 1952 Pakistan (West Pakistan in those days) tried to force Urdu on us. On 21st February 1952, many students and passersby died when Pakistani Police fired shots at a Procession. Be proud to be who you are, I am a Hindu and a Bengali. I am proud of being both.
