I am trying to get information on Tamil Culture.

Any web site which deals with Tamil Culture alone. (I specifically want to exclude anything of religious in nature so all Tamil can unite)

Pongal in comming and Pongal is Tamil equvalent of Thanksgiving in US or Canada (Harvest festival)

  The pongal that is coming up on January 14th is actually Thaii Pongal, it is not the tamil new year per se.
  
  The Tamil New year is celebrated in April. But the fact is that this is the harvest festival is correct. This does not have any resemblance of whatever sort to Thanksgiving.

  I am researching about cultures; I am trying to take religion out of Tamil culture and study. so that I will be able to explain why we do certain things in certain ways.

  BTW Harvest festival in US is called Thanksgiving (last Thursday of Nov). It is true in Canada but they celebrate harvest festival on first/second week of October and that is also called thanksgiving.
  
  Since the root cause of the 'pongal' is a good harvest. All, Christians and Muslims included, should celebrate Pongal. And give thanks/celebrate within the framework of their religion. Christians should have ‘pongal mass’ like they do for Christmas. Muslims should celebrate like they celebrate ‘miladi nabi’
  
  After all that is Tamil culture.

  Anan,
  
  Can you read and write Tamil where intrinsic* Tamil culture is the order of the day? You can do it in English too - Tamil is preferred.
  
  If so you are most welcome to Thamil Innaiyam [tamil@tamil.net] -- a networking oasis for Tamils. To join send a blank email to tamil-subscribe@tamil.net and confirm it.
  
  *intrinsic (as contrasted with extrinsic -- when you go see a Bharatha Natyam without knowing a few additional layers of what you see, that is extrinsic. Intrinsic is culture that is knitted into your live)

  hey tamils i wonder what species you are from because seems your father officially invested money in your education,
  never check your pet dog blood group, may match yours, that may hurt your father and sisters.....
  Definitely not dog also, check your family history, who is the one had your mother, and made you to this world, may be some other worst specifies had your mother worms formed hole, because no humans have date to visit your house.

  If you already lost your father, check his rod in your sister’s mouth or your mother’s stinky hole or even your wife’s dic_k. Your grandmother basically does not have any shame to say how did she fu_cked by your father and respectively how did you su_cked all worms from her buffalo hole.
  
  When your mother died, cemetery guys refused to take her monuments to bury, because of her four legs style layout on floor even she died. And at the same time you are sucking your mother hole for worms when she died and lied in graveyard. Your sisters are fu_cking by the animals (those fu_cked your mother before) that came to visit your mother dead body.
  
  When I am telling you all this, your younger brother and elder brother licking all your sisters body.
