well written and very intriguing, actually..i wish the author would get an opportunity to talk with HM Krishnamurthy*, of whom this reminds me - that he was responsible for all the data collection although he maintained that he had not committed any fraudulence.

incidentally, have you read the story of Paul Kammerer, 'the case of the midwife toad' by Arthur Koestler, short book to read in paper back, well written.

BTW - let me know how you overcame the insert url problem using the link icon- i tried

You want to read some quality books. Here is a list of top 100 English books about Tamil, Tamil Nadu, culture, history

Tamils here. ask you children to read them. Bring up your children as Tamil American, Tamil British, etc. instead of indian ethnic identity.

What is your point? Are you saying about 20 books relate to India? It is important to learn your surroundings.

Instead of criticising help people who are doiung something to protect Tamil identity and future.
