Dear chandra,
I am on a vacation to USA. I am impressed withthe zeal with which Tamizhars of USA care about preserving heritage. I am sure this bug has caught on with Tamizhars on watching the Amercians trying hard to preserve their heritage of not so old. may be 500 years old at best. The sad and cruel facet of it is that in the Tamil land, the heritage is not well preserved or cared for. Petty politics and "naan periavanaa illay nee perivalaa" is what is overriding than preserving the heritage. In fact I found that reading is well encouraged in USA to kids, on many topics. Music is one medium where by language and heritage could be well preserved. There is a profound need for composing songs in Tamil and English (similar to Elmo songs on Spanish and English) to teach the language to Tamils settled in USA. Sure yd agree with me.
