  * The male idiappam chameleon responds to other invading non-Tamil males by expanding its body, puffing out its throat, farting and elevating its head flaps. If his attempts are unsuccessful, he will charge the other chameleon and snap his jaw.
  * Besides serving as camouflage, the chameleon's ability to change colors enables it to communicate with other chameleons in divine , non-plagarized Tamil.
  * Chameleons make good ego climbers, thanks to their zygodactyle feet, which grasp like hands.
  * Its tongue allows the chameleon to snap up insects and grasp hard-to-reach food like Sambar, idiappam and vadai mixed with rott rasam.
  * The Idiappam chameleon's eyes stick out and function independently, allowing it to see forward and backward simultaneously without moving its head.
  * Chameleons drink by licking chinese and malay piss droplets off their pants.

  Shramanisms are the way through which civilization penetrated jungles of south to civilize the people before aiyars come from centralasia to do final touches.
  Here Brahmanas of Ganga valley did not take any significant part as in among Sinhalese.

  You are very true udaya. Shramans penetrated civilization if jungles of Kerala and Tamilnadu. Today the so called Tamil language is creation of
  Shramanas who use to worship Adi bhagwan (Adinath thirthankar) , even thiruvalluvar use to worship him and it is written in Kural about Adhi Bhagwan.

  in pre Vedic era times, south India was an important center of Sraman culture. In Shri Lanka also before the advent of Buddhist religion, Jain religion was well entrenched. This has been substantially proved from old Buddhist literature. The Buddhist literature in Shri Lanka, ‘Mahavansh and the ancient text ‘Deepvansh’ mention that Jainism existed during the reign of the early 21 kings in Lanka (10 B.C. to 38 A.D), but was later destroyed by king Vattagamini.
  
  The great scholar Panini has mentioned about Kanya Kumari in his manuscript, Asthadhyai (2, 1, 70) as Kumary Sramana. During his time, the Braham Aryans were totally ignorant about southern India and the Buddhist had moved towards south only after the arrival of king Ashoka. Thus, it is easy to understand that Jainism flourished here. Shri R.C. Jain has mentioned ‘Cape Kumari was so named after the name of the Jain female Ascetic. The concept of Kumari means a celibate woman. Tamil history has records of female ascetics traveling there.
  
  Up till the 10th century, the influence of Jainism continued uninterrupted. The Monarchs and their empires adhered to Jainism. Over a period of time, the followers of Vishnu and Shiva, took control. They not only persecuted the Jains but also converted the Jain temples into Shiva temples. They went to such low depths of out-casting the Jains, that in one of their famous temples in south India, instructions are recorded that it is better to be trampled to death by an elephant then to seek shelter in a Jain temple. The vicious behavior of the Shivaits has done more harm to the Jains, then perhaps the mistreatment by the Musilms. In this context historian Romila Thapar has given an interview on the history of Karnataka to Hindustan Times reporter, Amit Sen Gupta for the article ‘Making up History’ that “we are now finding evidence of shaivite attacks on Jain temples, the destruction of temple, the removal of idols, the reimplanting of shaivete images in their place, this is a regular occurrence----even temples were destroyed or Jain monuments were destroyed by Hindus, particularly by shaivties.
  
  As in Karnataka, today if the historical records of most of the Hindu pilgrimage spots like Badrinath, Kedarnath, Amarnath, Tirupatiji Balaji, Jagganathpuri, Khujrao, Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain, are carefully scrutinized, it shall become clear that they were originally Jain temples which were later converted, in the 7th century, into shaiv or vaishnav temples.

  Jain Vestiges in Coimbatore District M. AROKIASWAMI, M.A., Ph.D. COIMBATORE, the headquarter of the district which goes by its name in the State of Madras, is well-known to-day as the "Manchester of South India." There is perhaps not another place in the whole of this region to equal it not only in the numerous spinning and weaving mills it possesses but also in the general standard of wealth, health civilisation and culture. But few are interested in studying the history of this district and particularly the development of culture in this area.

  Panks you are very true. Most of ancient temples of south India were once originally Jain temples.
