Hello Tamil Lovers,
Please confirm here, on your acceptance of
1. Providing English translation so that all can read.
or
2. adding [tamil] tag in
your subject lines on all your tamil mails.
so that some people can filter.
Eventhough you are doing good events for the community,
you should hear from the community too.
Thanks.
Hello Victor,
I understand the frustrations of non-Tamil speaking people in the list.
Please try to understand the other side and from where he is coming from.
I have had a few conversations with Amachu and know how much he fights for
the use of Tamil in many situations. It is considered illiterate, rude,
countrified to use Tamil in many places (classrooms, high end public places,
student groups).
When a person fights for his right (and the rights of lakhs of others who
are excluded due to language), he might have developed a stubborn streak
never to compromise anywhere (like RMS insisting on Free everywhere).
It is fanatical, illogical, yes. But we need more such idealists to make our
world a better place and more inclusive.
Please bear with a couple of mails a month for the sake of our less
privileged brothers. Consider these mails as a statement that someone who
can not converse in English also can participate.
When traffic in Tamil increases to say a couple of mail every day a separate
mailing list might make sense.
Thanks for your understanding.
best regards,
Ma Sivakumar
