NEOLITHIC CULTURE
TAMILS
"There is no doubt that it was in the close of the palaeolithic period that the Dravidians, from whom the vast majority of peoples of India are derived first came to prominence.The "Dravidians" or the Mediterraneans migrated into the land some time, we may suppose, about the 9th or 8th Millennium B.C and  after driving the "pre-Dravidians" and Indonesian Mundas to the hills and woods, occupied the more fertile parts and carried on neolithic culture. The "Dravidian" culture spread throughout India  during the next four Millenuiums."" Above all the neolithians contributed to the evolution of human thought, morals and religion.".
Brahmanical legends refer to the strong and wealthy cities on or near the banks of Indus of which the Aryans took possession after  a hard struggle for their adversaries were well armed, possessed horses and chariots and built castles of stone. Several of places afterwards celebrated in Indian history such as Taksha-sila, Mathura and Unjin were said to have been founded by these non-Aryan people who were probably Dravidian race and perhaps connected with the ancient Sumerians, the people of South Babylonia, whose history has been back to the fourth millennium. B.C.

ABORIGINES
AUTOCHTHONOUS
"The Dravidian race is commonly considered to be the aborigines of India or at least of southern India, and we have no information to show that they were not the South" An inspection of the map of Neolithic India is enough to prove that the country was thickly populated by people of one homogeneous farm of culture, and that the people ought to have been autochthonous as the Tamil people have always claimed to be in the traditions recorded in their literature.

TAMIL COMMUNITY IN SINGAPORE
QUALITIES  OF THE TAMILS
The Tamil community has been associated with the history of modem Singapore from the earliest times. Tamil settlers who came to this island brought with them not only a very rich and ancient culture, but also craftsmanship and business acumen of a very high order. Their sweat and toil as much as their thrift and industry, have contributed much to our great city and our thriving economy. Two qualities of the Tamil speaking population.Firstly, they had good qualities of citizenship. By and large, they liked work and were prepared to work.Secondly, they liked to play according to the rules of the game.

 TAMILS IN CEYLON
 OLD CIVILIZATION
The punch marked coins of an early era point to connections that Ceylon may have had with Mohenjodaro and the Indus Valley civilisation. Tamil poetry composed in Ceylon has been included in the earliest Tamil Anthologies, and the Tamil spoken in Ceylon represents a pre-Pallava period with its ancient morphological and grammatical forms and its repertoire of words considered obsolete for centuries on the neighbouring continent.  As Marshall believes Mohenjo-Daro represents the oldest of all civilizations known. But the exhuming of prehistoric India has just begun only in our time has archaeology turned from Egypt acrossMesopotamia to India. When the soil of India has been turned up like that of Egypt we shall probably find there a civilization older than which flowered out of the mud of Nile.

EARLIEST NATURALISTIC SCULPTORS
TAMIL CIVILIZATION
A statue carved in red and stone was found (at Harappa) of a boy of such exquisite workmanship, and such for good Greek work othe fourth century B.C. Indians may prove to have been the earliest
naturalistic sculptors in the East.
Aryan peoples, speaking Sanskrit, had come down through western passes into North India long before 1000 B.C. There they came into contact with a Primordial brunet civilization, the Dravidian Civlization, and learned much from it.
