Tamil Development - Culture and Religious Endowments Department Tamil Development-Culture TAMIL DEVELOPMENT - CULTURE AND RELIGIOUS ENDOWMENTS DEPARTMENT TAMIL DEVELOPMENT-CULTURE POLICY NOTE 2006 - 2007 Demand No. 46 ca®j䜤jhŒ Ϫãy¤Âš mil»‹w bt‰¿bayh« c‹w‹ bt‰¿! - ghntªj® ghuÂjhr‹ Human beings are those capable of creating expression to their emotions and thoughts in the form of meaningful words and phrases. Eventhough several living things have the ability to communicate among themselves, human beings alone have the capacity for thinking rationally and the speciality is that the development of such communication skills was responsible for the growth of languages, which in turn laid the basis for the growth of knowledge. That is why the great scholars portrayed only two things in the world which would dispel the darkness of the mind and the world, one is the Sun that rises in between the mountains and the other is the peerless Tamil born from Pothigai. Our language is a rich and ancient language. Our Tamil language which is more precious than our life is the source of origin for other languages. The ancient grammar Tolkappiam and Sangam literature are the living examples for our ancient Tamil language. Dr. Caldwell, a foreign scholar, who had contributed a lot in the field of comparative study on Dravidian Linguistic Grammar says that “the invaluable treasure of rich contributions in Tamil Literature and the various grammatical treatises in the Classical Language of Tamil are the best examples to establish the ancient richness of Tamil Language and the European Scholar who studied the Dravidian Language like Tamil cannot disregard the community which has contributed for the development of a wonderful language such as Tamil”. He has also commended that Tamil is a Unique Language which can function without support of the languages like Northern languages etc. Besides, our sweet Tamil language has captured the hearts of foreign scholars G.U.Pope, Veeramamunivar and Dr.Winslo. Thirukkural, written by the immortal Sage Thiruvalluvar is considered to be a heavenly treasure which has also been translated into various other languages and cherished as a Universal scripture. All these contributions of our forefathers make us feel proud of our great language. At the same time, we cannot forget that it is our bounden duty to make our Tamil Language still more great and rich. Eventhough it is a long cherished demand, as a result of our persistent efforts, the Central Government have issued orders declaring Tamil language as a Classical Language. As stated in the Governor’s Address and following the declaration of Tamil as Classical Language, this Government have persuaded the Central Government to fulfil the demands for the Institution of Tamil Classical Language awards in the name of Tholkappiar and Thiruvalluvar. Further, this Government have also emphasized the Central Government to declare Tamil as one of its Official Languages and also to announce Thirukkural as a National Literature. As part of this and as announced in the Budget Speech, this Government would upgrade the International Institute of Tamil Studies as World Tamil Classical Language Research Institute for undertaking Literary Research on par with the other classical languages of the world and emphasis the Government of India to provide grants to this institution for research in classical languages. Further, action will be taken to establish an Ariviyal Tamil Mandram so that the Tamil Language which is our ancient and living language possessing continuously literature wealth compared to that of the literatures of World wide will continue to be a usable language for the present and future for ever. Further, efforts will be taken to urge the Government of India to issue postal stamp to commemorate the memory of Parithimar Kalaignar who was born at Thirupparankundram and earned fame throughout the land by giving the first clarion call for declaring the Tamil as Classical Language and changing his name Suriya Narayana Sastri into a pure Tamil one and to convert the house in which he was born at Vilacheri near Thirupparankundram into a memorial and to nationalize his books and provide honorary grants to his legal heirs. With the aim of bringing credit to the Tamil Language, the developmental activities in respect of Tamil Language, Art and Culture are being pursued in full vigour. The Directorate of Tamil Development, Translation Wing, Directorate of Etymological Dictionary Project, the Department of Archaeology, The Department of Museums, Directorate of Art and Culture, Regional Cultural Centres, Government Music Colleges, Music Schools, Government College of Fine Arts, Government College of Architecture and Sculpture, Tamil Nadu Eyal Isai Nataka Manram, Tamil Nadu Ovia Nunkalai Kuzhu and Tamil Nadu Jawahar Siruvar Mandrams which are under the control of Tamil Development-Culture Department are undertaking all these works.

  • “Lost in Translation”: a Study of the History of Sri Lankan Literature
    Karunakaran / Lost in Translation “Lost in Translation”: A Study of the History of Sri Lankan Literature Shamila Karunakaran Abstract This paper provides an overview of the history of Sri Lankan literature from the ancient texts of the precolonial era to the English translations of postcolonial literature in the modern era. Sri Lanka’s book history is a cultural record of texts that contains “cultural heritage and incorporates everything that has survived” (Chodorow, 2006); however, Tamil language works are written with specifc words, ideas, and concepts that are unique to Sri Lankan culture and are “lost in translation” when conveyed in English. Keywords book history, translation iJournal - Journal Vol. 4 No. 1, Fall 2018 22 Karunakaran / Lost in Translation INTRODUCTION The phrase “lost in translation” refers to when the translation of a word or phrase does not convey its true or complete meaning due to various factors. This is a common problem when translating non-Western texts for North American and British readership, especially those written in non-Roman scripts. Literature and texts are tangible symbols, containing signifed cultural meaning, and they represent varying aspects of an existing international ethnic, social, or linguistic culture or group. Chodorow (2006) likens it to a cultural record of sorts, which he defnes as an object that “contains cultural heritage and incorporates everything that has survived” (pg. 373). In particular, those written in South Asian indigenous languages such as Tamil, Sanskrit, Urdu, Sinhalese are written with specifc words, ideas, and concepts that are unique to specifc culture[s] and cannot be properly conveyed in English translations.

As increased wealth and continuous religious practice have supported the energetic maintenance and renovation of temple buildings in Tamil Nadu justified by reference to ancient texts, UNESCO commissioned a fact-finding mission regarding conservation practice there in 2016. As part of wider project to investigate the strands of inherited textual guidance in this sensitive area, digital documentation methods are being tested in terms of their capacity to provide a locus for discourse between divergent views at a time of rapid formulation of policy documents that seek to offer guidelines for the conservation of an estimated 38000 temple buildings in the state. This paper outlines some challenges and ambitions of creating digital platforms to serve such an endeavour through potential scenarios offered by two case studies.

  • Indic Cultures and Concepts: Implications for Knowledge Organization
    K.S. Raghavan – DRTC, Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore, India A. Neelameghan – Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science, Bangalore, India Indic Cultures and Concepts: Implications for Knowledge Organization Abstract This paper deals with the impact of culture, especially indigenous cultures, on conceptualization and semantic relationships. Representation of concepts in the performing arts, mythology, humanities, and cognate domains viewed through different cultural perspectives in knowledge organization and knowledge organization tools (KOTs) is examined. Introduction We live in a culturally diverse world. Cultural differences among communities have come to the fore in recent years thanks to developments in information and communication technologies (ICT) leading to increased interaction among peoples of different cultures. Depending on the context „Culture‟ may signify: (1) a particular society at a particular time and place, e.g. Vedic culture, Dravidian culture, Mayan culture; or (2) the knowledge and values shared by a society / community, e.g. modern Bengali society; or (3) the tastes, styles in art and manners that are favoured by a community or social group, e.g. Elizabethan poetry, French Renaissance art, and (4) the attitudes and behaviour that are characteristic of a particular social group or organization, e.g. Jain monks, Parsis of India, South-Pacific Islanders, etc. Culture and the environment in which a culture evolves have always been major factors influencing knowledge and concept formation, development of language and terminology and formation of links between concepts among the members of a cultural group. In other words the nature of concepts, the terminology used to represent concepts, the range and kinds of interrelationships between concepts are all functions of the culture and social life of the community.

  • Sangam-Age-1.Pdf
    Sangam Age drishtiias.com/printpdf/sangam-age-1 Introduction The period roughly between the 3rd century B.C. and 3rd century A.D. in South India (the area lying to the south of river Krishna and Tungabhadra) is known as Sangam Period. It has been named after the Sangam academies held during that period that flourished under the royal patronage of the Pandya kings of Madurai. At the sangams eminent scholars assembled and functioned as the board of censors and the choicest literature was rendered in the nature of anthologies. These literary works were the earliest specimens of Dravidian literature. According to the Tamil legends, there were three Sangams (Academy of Tamil poets) held in the ancient South India popularly called Muchchangam. The First Sangam, is believed to be held at Madurai, attended by gods and legendary sages. No literary work of this Sangam is available.
