Hi solomon, is 'contradiction' your middle name. You accept that Rig has 500 words (infact over 30% of Rig is dravidian origin) of Tamil origin, and accept that both Tamil and Sanskrit are ancient. But would assume that Tamil Lit if only from 200BCE while Sanskrit Vedas are from 2000BCE. Is this not contradictory ?
Infact historical event of common man is so well documented in Tamil Lit making it genuinely authentic, infact it is the only Lit in the world that seems to be knowledgeable about the 3 floods after ice age. Sanskrit Lit was not even aware of it. May be coastal regions were too windy for bonfires!
