A Tamilian, who styles himself an ƒra-i, Mudaliar, comes under a series of successive subdivisions, as an Indian, as follows:

     Thus, the great and noble Tamil nation has been shattered and sundered to pieces.

     The caste system is comparatively relaxed in North India in the matter of commensality, as there is no opposition to Sanskrit or Brahmin domination in that part of India, and becomes more and more rigid as we come farther and farther South, and tightens its hold on the Tamilians most firmly, as there is strong opposition here alone to the Aryan system of public life.

     As a result of the age-long operation of the Aryan caste system, most of the elder generation have become degenerate and devoid of certain intellectual faculties.

     Tamil originated in the Lemurian continent at least 50,000 years ago as a full-fledged language, after having passed through the four stages of development, viz., Monosyllabic or Isolating, Compounding, Inflexional and Poly inflexional, which ought to have covered not less than a hundred thousand years, even according to the most modest calculation.

     As the primitive Tamilians passed through the three regional stages of civilization, viz., the hilly stage, the pastoral stage, and the agricultural stage, Tamil became more and more developed and attained perfection.

      As population increased, people gradually moved in different directions to distant lands, during the various stages of development of the Tamil language.
