Tamil, a language spoken by about 85 million people in India and other places, is of great importance for the world, both in its classical manifestations and in its dynamic life of today. This initiative is to create a robust, self-sufficient institute that focuses not only on language and history but also on the arts, customs, and traditions of Tamil.
