naidu, you could start by reading the 'Aimperu kApiyangal' [The Big Five Epics{sorry if the translation is wrong:D}] namely Silapathikaram (Silappathi-kAram), Manimaekalai (manimaEkalai), Seevakasinthamani (sEevaka-sinthA-mani), Valaiyapathi (vaLaiyApathi), Kundalakaesi (kundalakAesi).
Then you could move on to Tholkapiyam (TholkAppiyam) and perhaps Naladi (nAladi), and many other Thamizh literature from Sangakalam (Thamizh Academy time), then Thevarasm (thevArams) ...there are many and then read some books like "Thamizh" "Thamizhan varalaru" "Thamizhan Izhantha Mann" "Thamizhar panpadum nakarikamum"(Thamizhans Culture and Civilization) "Thamizh mozhi" and perhaps Novel by Kalki "Ponniyin selvan" or about "The Three Thamizh Kingdoms" and then like Thamizhan History in General. You could learn many and more from books such like this and many others I haven't mentioned.

oh and if you read 'Tholkapiyam' (TholkAppiyam) then you should want to read 'Nannool' (nanOol) which was written way after 'Tholkapiyam'.

Origin of words
Tamil -> Amizhdhu -> Amirdham -> Amrut (Sanskrit)
Dravam(liquid) -> the people that have the tendency to move constant like liquid
=>Dramida => People that move like liquid => Dravida=>Tamizha => Those peoples => Tamil=> Their language

Dravidians r originators of everything on the earth. They gave God a chance to create this world. They r soon to give Performance Report to God and his creation.
If God's performance is not good enough according to Dravidians, God may stand to lose his chance. One person who the Dravidians think is right to rule the world will come to power.
So great is the patience of Dravidians.
They r all knowing, all creating, all judging.
If world wont run properly, then they will destroy the world.
becoz they r superior to almighty
One day

To me, Mr. mannanng katty is an old sinhalese person (posting here in different names)is trying
to make a rift between tamil christians, muslims, brahmins,indians and different extinct castes.
He has gone through his unfortunate life in Tamil Nadu, Jaffna and in India in general.
He is a pervert and helpless.
He is wasting time unless paid by somebody.(you know what I mean?)

You must forgive Mannang Katty; he does not know what he talks! He is cross-breed between a lion and a human.
