uncultivated languages of the Dravidian family. Nowdays it has been proved without any objection from other Dravidian groups also.

Caldwell has stepped down further to prove a fact. He tried his level best keeping the available materials at hand. Only after the publication of his valuable work 'Comparative Grammar of Dravidian languages' Caldwell came to know of Maxmuller's views. He firmly establishes that Tamil comes very nearer to the origin of the world languages. But he was not able to go further. In the meanwhile, I have to bring a fact to the lovers of Tamil. Caldwell published his research work in the year 1858. But, the wonderful Sangam literatures and time-honoured Tholkappiam have been traced out and brought to light by the Tamil savants like U.Ve.Sa and S.V. Damodaran Pillai only after the period of Caldwell. These books reached the hands of the Tamil people only after 1885. As such, Caldwell had miserably missed these valuable and authentic authorities and hence he could not proceed further. But, to our astonishment Pavanar has seized this opportunity by his foresight. Yes, keeping in mind the opinion of Maxmuller and research of Caldwell, Pavanar delved deeper. Making the best use of the unassailable literary evidences viz. Tholkappiyam and Sangam literatures he arrived at the conclusion that Tamil is the origin for all the world languages. The book 'The Primary Classical Language of the World'' is the outcome of his untiring and astounding research.

We should not be misled to think that Pavanar was always interested in excavations, old books, and foreign notions only. Some may be under the impression that he was not fit to discuss any matter relating to the current subjects. It is a wrong notion altogether. He has put forth his strong views on various subjects such as Religion, Polity, History, Educational reforms, Civilization and Culture in more than 35 books.

His was the age of Agitation against the imposition of Hindi. The poems composed by him on the ' Anti - Hindi Agitation ' were soul-stirring and had a tremendous effect on the agitating youth.
