FROM THE BOOK |
It gives me great pleasure to pen a few words on this illustrious work of Mr.Tiruvengadam, who has embarked on a unique task of compiling the comments and compliments of great literary figures about the Tamil Language. There have been many books and literatures written about the greatness of the Tamil Language but this compilation by Mr. M.Tiruvengadam differs from others since in this piece of work he has endeavoured to bring to our attention, commentaries by literary figures such as Dr.G.U.Pope and Veerama Munivar who have contributed immensely to enrich the Tamil Literature. Mr.Tiruvengadam has also published another commendable book titled "The World Hails Thirukkural" which is a compilation of commentaries by leading persons on the everlasting and ever-popular Tamil Literature "Thirukkural". I take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Tiruvengadam for his fine works and contributions to the Tamil Language and on his dedication and efforts in highlighting and spreading the qualities and significance of the Tamil Language to the English- speaking world.It is also heartening to know that such works and efforts are coming from a Malaysian tamil writer. I wish every success to Mr.Tiruvengadam on his ventures. |
