Sri: Adiyen Namaskaram to all who participated in this discussion of The recent controversial treatment of the First Tamil Naadu State ranking. There is no second thought about Kum.Kaavya to be appreciated,honured and encoraged for her extrordinary achivement. We all forget one thing. How many of our children living abroad or in north india can boast of speakingand writing in our mother tongue i.e Tamil.Ihave seen children coming to visit on holidays not able to converse freeli with their grand mothers,aunties(be it chithies,atahi.They lose the closness with elder genration which we enjoyed,They get bored in couple of days and want to go back. My job is such that makes me travel all around India.I have seen people from North India,Andhra,Kerala and Karnataka never come across a child who could not talk in their native language even they stayed in abroad or out of their respective state.This how they are broughy up and strictly they converse in thier own lanuage in the house. It is only we the Tamilians feel ashamed to converse in our own mother tongue. Imay have hurt some asthikas feelings.But this is my Athangam which i expressed in this group.
