Every one of us would love Our Mother Tongue to be the best in the world and Tamil to be the Oldest.
Historical Linguistics is a Secular Science without preferences.
While the Earliest of Tamil Literaure Tholkappiyam is dated to 350 CE, we have Sanskrit Literature Like Valmiki Ramayan aound 1000BCE, And we have complete manuscript with Carbon14 dated to 1st Century CE. Vedas- which is in unrefined SANSKRIT is dated now 2000-600 BCE( see wikipedia), but many Tamil Scholars in eagerness to lift Tamil try to date Sanskrit to later date, without proper basis.
As friends shows, the earliest Brahmi- Stone inscrptions have Telugu and Kannada words dated 300 BCE, though we donot have any literature from this languages for another 1000 years atleast.
We should accept that Sanskrit and Tamil as Two Eyes of India.
European Scholars, seeing that Sanskrit Literature- has somuch, said Indians cannot have such Knowledge and Identified SAnskrit is from them and called Aryans- for which there is no basis.
Anybody trying to call a section of Indians, as Aryan or Dravidian accept that Indians are not knowlegable.
Let us be proud of both.
