Tamil Bhasha is My Soul, My God, My Bol!

Tamil shapes my personality.

(This piece was first published on 8 August 2017 and is being republished in light of recent calls for ‘One Nation, One Language’.)

Tamil, reflects the fundamental dimensions of my personality. This language is god to me. Tamil literature gives me more happiness than any prayer book. There are people who pray to god in their mother tongue, these are the same people who consider god above their mother tongue. But such is not the case with me or with many other Tamilians. For us, Tamil is god!
