Website on Tamils’ past


 

A new web site http://tamilartsacademy.com/home.asp has been added in the 'must-be-read' section.

Created by Dr Nagaswamy, former Director of Archaeology of Tamilnadu, this link contains brilliant articles

on archaeology, epigraphy, numismatics and vedic/hindu civilization.

 

 

Some of the topics covered by him have already been discussed by me in this blog.

I wish more research happens on the lines noted in the posts.
