11000 YEARS AGO CHOZHA PORT POOMPUHAR SUBMERGED IN SEAS

N.Nandhivarman

 Tamilnadu Government had initiated the process of beautification of Poompuhar, the Port town of Chozha Empire. The need to promote cultural tourism is welcome but beautification of existing Poompuhar will not shed light on hidden history of Poompuhar. And we indulge in self boasting about our past without show casing our past with archeological and other evidences acceptable to historians. We have literary evidences and even to parade before the scholarly world we are not having enough translations of all our literature.

 In such a situation let me draw your attention to the archeological find beneath the seas off shore of Poompuhar. National Institute of Oceanography on March 23 of 1991 found the remains of a fort wall in the shape of horse shoe. It was more or less in the shape of letter U. Its length was 85 meters and height was approximately 2 meters. The distance between one edge and other edge in the opening area was 13 meters. Wall was covered by dust settled there over centuries. Though in 1993 this U shaped remnant of a Fort was found offshore of Poompuhar for want of funds no further research or quest was carried out in that zone. The dating of that structure using carbon dating method was said to be of 3rd century B.C. Graham Hancock read from London about this discovery and dating. Any structure close to shore within 2 meters depth could belong to 3rd century B.C, but this structure was below 23 meters, and for this depth sea level must have risen by inundation or sea level rise. Within 3 centuries up to 23 meters sea level could not have risen as found in oceanographic studies.

With doubts lingering in his mind, Graham Hancock flew from London to Bangalore to meet S.R.Rao, who was instrumental is establishing the National Institute of Oceanography as well as the deep sea probe offshore of Poompuhar. The meeting took place in 2001 and the 70 year old S.R.Rao told Graham Hancock. “We are sure that it is a structure built in land and submerged into seas, and we using carbon 14 dating method arrived at that date, but after you pose questions it strikes to me it must be long before 3rd century B.C” But he agreed that oceanographic study to determine the rise of sea level will answer the puzzle over the dating of the submerged U shaped structure. But S.R.Rao admitted that oceanographic study was undertaken in Gulf of Kutch belonging to Gujarat state of India. In 10,000 B.C. the sea level there was 60 meter below current sea level. There has been no such oceanographic study in South India.

 Anyhow the findings of Gulf of Kutch could be more or less applied for Poompuhar in Tamilnadu, The dialogue between Graham Hancock and S.R.Rao is not taken out of context from a fiction but from Graham Hancock’s Underworld: The Mysterious Origins of Civilization published by Penguin in 7 th February 2002. Close on the heels of publication of this book the Channel 4 Television of UK which won Tamils gratitude for exposing Tamil Genocide recently, telecasted on 11, 18 and 25th February 2002 a programme titled Flooded Kingdoms of Ice Age. By this time the Dwaraka found in Gulf of Kutch based on oceanographic study was proclaimed to belong to 7500 B.C and leading journals of India carried cover page stories over that discovery. But the same team that discovered Dwaraka discovered Poompuhar but date was confined to 3rd century B.C.

 The megaphone warriors of Tamilnadu kept silent in their street corner meetings since they don’t know the subject, nor the chosen representatives of people sitting in Parliament raised their voice because they know they are puppets and puppeteers have not given instructions to open their mouth in the Parliament.

 Graham Hancock took up the issue of dating the Poompuhar structure with Glenn Milne of Durham University who prepares inundation maps of the world. The date for a structure to go down in sea or sea level to rise 23 meters was 9500 B.C. Hence 11,000 years ago the Fort beneath Poompuhar Sea must have submerged. The Last Ice Age global warming and sea submergence of lands occurred before 12000 years ago and the submergence of Poompuhar tallied with that world known fact. But no media of Tamilnadu had brought this to light because those who propounded the theory of 3rd century B.C did not share his views. He went to Bangalore to report about Poompuhar, exhibited there and met the press to break the story from there. Such scene is prevalent in Tamilnadu. Scholars may agree or disagree but for a scholar to express his discovery there should be no media black out… Just before the Classical Tamil Conference I wrote in Suryakathir on the Historical Treasures beneath our Seas, and also wrote to then Chief Minister Kalaignar M.Karunanithi whom I personally know urging him to invite Graham Hancock but in vain.

Now that Tamilnadu Government plans to promote historical and cultural tourism, whatever has been found must be placed in a museum and Graham Hancock must be invited to further probe off shore of Poompuhar to unearth sorry to un-sea our past archeological grandeur.

INDIA MUST DECLARE 23 DRAVIDIAN LANGUAGES AS CLASSICAL

The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | 2008 |  Dravidian languages , family of about 23 languages that appears to be unrelated to any other known language family. The Dravidian languages are spoken by more than 200 million people, living chiefly in South  and Central India and N Sri Lanka. The four major Dravidian languages are Kannada, having over 40 million speakers; Malayalam, having about 35 million speakers; Tamil, with almost 70 million speakers; and Telugu, with over 70 million speakers. Each of these languages has a noteworthy literature of considerable age. Brahui, another of the Dravidian group, has close to 1 million speakers, in Baluchistan.

 It is thought that the Dravidian tongues are derived from a language spoken in India prior to the invasion of the Aryans c.1500 BC Dravidian languages are noted for retroflex and liquid sound types. A distinctive feature is the formation of a comparatively large number of sounds in the front of the mouth. Verbs have a negative as well as an affirmative voice. Gender classification is made on the basis of rank instead of sex, with one class including beings of a higher status and the other beings of an inferior status (to which inanimate objects and sometimes women are assigned). Nouns are declined, showing case and number. In the Dravidian languages great use is made of suffixes (but not of prefixes) with nouns and verbs. There are many words of Indic origin in the Dravidian languages, which in turn have contributed a number of words to the Indic tongues. The Dravidian languages have their own alphabets, which go back to a common source that is related to the Devanagari alphabet used for Sanskrit. Brahui, however, is recorded in the Arabic script. Bibliography: See T. Burrow and M. B. Emeneau, ed., A Dravidian Etymological Dictionary (1984).

With due thanks to the information provided by Columbia Encyclopedia, today on reading in news papers that ” on the intervention of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the Union Government has officially confirmed its earlier decision to accord classical language status for Telugu for which the A.P.Official languages Commission had made relentless efforts” I felt the urge to request Indian Prime Minister to accord Classical Language Status to all the 23 Dravidian languages. Tamil the mother of all these 23 languages will feel proud that from it 23 classical languages had branched of. If we take into account the number of Dravidian languages spoken in Pakisthan this number 23 is bound to increase.

If all its offshoots are getting Classical Language status, the very purpose of Tamilnadu Chief Minister Kalaignar M.Karunanithi celebrating victory conference over Union Government granting classical language status will become meangless. Now it is time for the Classical Language Conference to be renamed Primary Classical Language of the World, an argument advanced by Devaneya Paavaanar. We have to knock UNESCO with evidences urging Tamil to be declared as First Mother Tongue on Earth, till we reach that status, let scholars produce books and research papers substantiating our claim to be the first spoken language on Earth.

CONSTRUCTIVE STEPS TO CONSTRUCT HISTORY OF TAMILS

N.Nandhivarman General Secretary Dravida Peravai

 Dravida Peravai, a political party which wants to set an example what a political party of Tamils ought to do had decided to launch a website for publishing all information about Tamil history in one resource bank which will encompass the history of Tamil spread across continents inclusive of Tamil Eelam. Though we will be coordinating this effort we appeal to scholars all over the world to come forward with research based articles to establish our past to evaluate our present and to set the agenda for future. [ we could not fulfill this dream.then this article was posted in tamilnation.org which wound up on 25 th January 2010. Now to keep the article in public view, I am posting in this blog.

The necessity to launch a history website arose when I read the book “ Kadaikazhaga Noolhalin Kaalamum Karuthum {Period and Message of Sangam Literature 500 B.C to 500 A.D] written by Dr.R.Mathivanan Former Director of Tamil Etymological Dictionary Project of Government of Tamilnadu. In the preface to the book the learned scholar says, “Japanese have preserved their past history spanning to 2440 years, whereas Egyptians and Sumerians recall with pride their 4000 years of history. The 3000-year-old history of Chinese gives them a unique place. But Tamils with 10000 year of history have not brought it to the world arena.

In Chicago Museum a portrait depicting a Tamil climbing a Palmyra tree mentioning him as Tamil came to the notice of Aringnar Anna that was taken up with the authorities. Instead of many cultural achievements of Tamils this portrait showed Tamil in derogative manner, and on protest the portrait was not removed but the word Tamil in the portrait was deleted. Lamenting about lack of a Museum to depict Tamil Culture, the scholar says that he had relied upon the travelogues of foreigners, literary evidences thrown to light in other languages, recent archaeological findings and the findings of historians who have so far dealt with the History of Tamils. His book would be a compilation of all these evidences in a nutshell, he claims. In Rasatarangini the author Kallanar had brought to light the History of Kashmir from 1800 B.C to 1200 A.D. Like this literary evidence which helped to construct the History of Kashmir, in Tamil the book Nankudi Velir Varalaru comprising 1035 poems and written by Arumuga Nayinar Pillai, which was published in 1920 throws light on the Tamil history, the learned author claims.

 This book speaks about the family hierarchy of Irungovel, a branch of the Pandyan rulers for 201 generations. This book follows the Kali calendar and narrates the history from 3100 B.C to 1944, hence helps in fixing the date of various rulers and their rule, the author says.

 Pandyan dynasty.

 113 year Pact between Three Tamil Emperors

 The Nandhas who ruled North India had fraternal relationship with Three Tamil Emperors but the Mauryas who followed them invaded South India. Imayavaramban Neduncheralathan marched up to Himalayas and inscribed his country symbol, which could not assimilated by the Mauryas who came to Chera country as act of revenge. But the Mauryan armies did not sneak into Chozha territory. This invasion brought home the need to remain united, the call given even now by Kalaignar M.Karunanithi but with no useful purpose to alter ground reality on Tamil disunity. The unity urge united the Three Tamil Emperors who met to sign a Pact of Cooperation in the year 313 B.C, the author Dr.Mathivanan says. Imayavaramban Neduncheralathan, Karungai Olvat Perumvazhuthi and Deva Pandian [ 70th] jointly signed the declaration of unity that lasted for 113 years. This Treaty of Tamil Unity stood as a rock protecting Tamil lands from Northern invaders. In the final years of the unity era during 200 B.C, in the Chozha Emperor Karikalan II’s court Poetess Mudathamakanniyar who wrote Porunaratrupadai witnessed the rare scene of Three Tamil Emperors sharing same dais which she records in her Porunaratrupadai [53-55]. Poet Kumattor Kannanar who wrote the second ten in Pathitru Pathu also records the historical meeting of Three Tamil Emperors for which he stands as eyewitness. Later in 42 B.C, Poetess Avvaiyar also had the luck to see Three Tamil Emperors together in a rare scene of Unity among Tamils. That unity did not last nor the lessons of unity learnt till date by Tamils.

Dr.Mathivanan had undertaken a thankless job. We would urge Tamils all over the world to buy the book “ Kadaikkazha Noolhalin Kaalamum Karuthum published by Thilagam Pathipagam 17 E, B-1, 12. K.K.Ponnurangam Salai, Omsakthinagar, Valasaravakkam, Chennai 600087 Tel:044-24861007 or contact the author at: rmvanan@gmail.com Cell: 9283217788.He had been made again as Director of Tamil Etymological Dictionary Project by Government of Tamil nadu.

Basing the Tamil epic Perumkathai, a historical note is hidden in the poem414 of Narkudi Vellalar Varalaru. It says in B.C 701 a Tamil King Udayanan defeated the Aryans and ruled North India. If he had continued to rule or if he had not succumbed to the submissive Aryan pretenders, The Gupta rule could not have come up, the appendix of the book states. Well our scholars will fight like street dogs for centuries instead of fixing the period of Tamil epics or Tamil Kings. It is within the genes of Tamils not to accept another Tamil as scholar. If a white skinned scholar tells all will fall in line. This mentality must go. Nothing wrong in debating but not debating beyond centuries. In 1921 Maraimalai Adigal established that Tamils must follow Thiruvalluvar Calendar alone. But we still follow the Sanskritized Tamil Calendar. This is a curse on Tamils.Let dogs bark but the sun will rise. Let us hail the new dawn of Tamil unity. Let us join hands to reconstruct Tamil history.
