I agree with the above netter's concerns. This is precisely what was
opposed during the RFD for SCT. Hopefully, this group will be left
alone for discussions on culture and not degenerate into some one's outlet
for unsubstantiated 'news reports'.

Next CM (after Rajanikanth), is Kushpu (sp?), also a foreign actress who is
gaining popularity fast.

The fact is that, just like drug-addicts in western countries, sizeable 
portion of TN people have a serious cinema addiction problem, which tend
to destroy their rationality.  The funny thing is that this addiction 
problem was started by the so-called rationalists (DMK) of Tamil Nadu.

You can say that again. Huntsville, Alabama has a small Tamil community comparedto Telugu and Kannada groups. But the two grocery stores have stocked up many
Tamil videos (many more than Kannada and Malayalam movies). IMHO only about
2 or 3 movies per year are good in Tamil. I think we Tamils should say a
loud NO! for bad movies and who knows, we may see some good quality movies/
productions at least for video-only market.

There are many things we Tamils can be proud of but movies is NOT one of them.

   Yes, it is true that much of the "uyir" in Tamil will be lost in translation
   but this is true of any translation of verse ( from any language to any other
   language). However, I think it's easier to translate Tamil to Kannada 
   and even Hindi without *too much* loss. The main idea of translatio  is
   to know the rough meaning !! In verse the "exact" or the artistically
   embellished meaning is what is the prime thing. But extremely devoted
   workers do bring out in transations a significant flavour. I was astonished
   at the extroordinary pains and the tremendous success achieved by George 
   Hart and his friend ( I'll post his name later, I don't rememeber now)
   of UC Berkely in translating the Kampa RaamayaNam which was recently
   published. Read also their glowing praise of Tamil culture and artistic
   achievements in the area of literature.

   The network in Tamil can be rendered as "valai" and if one adds "min"
   to it it becomes "min_valai" = electronic network.  But the word minvalai
   can also mean electric network. [network analysis = minvalai kooRaivu
   network design/synthesis = minvalai vakuthi ...]

   But if you wish to bring in the meaning of "forum" etc. we can have
   "min_arangu" or "min_avai" the meaning will be min iNaippaal iyangum
    arangu or avai. Thus if only "connection" is meant "valai" will be
    short and full of meaning. Valai also means "circuit" and since valai
    has the connotation of "capture or trap" it gives the prime purpose
    of an electric or electronic circuit which is to "capture" one function
    from numerous possibilities ( i.e it processes the signals in a desirable
    and a particular way). But if forum etc are meant we can use the other
    words given above. Another word for "connection" is "iNari" and thus
    min_iNari will mean "electrically connected things"which can be used for
    some other purposes. [ "iNar" means in Tamil a cluster and ususlly refers
    to a cluster of flowers but does not prevent us from referring to a 
    cluster of processors or terminals or in fact any other situations
   involving "a cluster"]

Organization: Extended Bulletin Board Service
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 1992 21:29:33 GMT

There have been a number of people wondering about the
validity of the 'News' postings. Some posters have
taken the extreme steps (well, considering their
serious attachment to Tamil culture it would seem
to me to be extreme) of unsubscribing this newsgroup
altogether. Unfortunately, the RFD I had saved was
not an RFD at all - it just had a one-line response. :-(

It seems to me that these objections are the cause
of more noise than the purported news items themselves.
Whatever the understanding of the individual voters, 
the best approach is to wait and see. There is really
nothing that can be done about posters who choose
to flout guidelines, if there are any (re: News.)

So, how about a reference to the RFD for these requests
to cease and desist? Or, of course, start a new 
moderated newsgroup. I have read other newsgroups (and
not just SCI) where the level of noise is much more 
than that encountered in SCT. So, I think emotional
biases are at play here more than reason.

	This is the case since Chola period. Tamil language is kept alive
	by the common people, not by the governments all these centuries.
	Governments have their own 'priorities'. 

	Tamil language will not die as long as Tamil movies are made

recent reports on fitness:

News from fitness frnot has been passed on by Jim Mitrano of Cross Lanes
W.Va., and Rosemary Antel of Seattle.

Mitrano supplied an item from VITALITY that had been picked up from MUSCLE &
FITNESS.  To wit: "It's good to sweat when you excercise. It means you're
burning calories and excreting toxins from the body including cadmium, lead,
zinc, nickel, sodium and sulfuric acid."  Pretty soon, says Mitrano, you won't
be able to excercise without a hazardous-waste permit.

Antel's contribution comes from the ADRENALINE, published by the Seattle
Atheletic Club.  It says, "for every liter of sweat evaporated on the skin,
approximately 580kg of heat are given off."  The club is n't air conditioned,
and many leters of sweat are driping from fitness freaks during Antel's recent
visits.  However, she saw no piles of heat.  With all that mass and nothing
visible, she says, "I think the club must be generating black holes."

Indus Scripts
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Recently Prof. Subash Kak of Louisiana State University sent me a 
number of papers written by him.  Of which, the following papers discuss
the issue of Indus scripts:

(1) The study of the Indus scripts, Cryptologia, vol. 11, 1987,
    pp. 182-191

(2) On the decipherment of the Indus scripts, Indian Journal of History 
    of Science, vol. 22, 1987, pp. 41-62

(3) A frequency analysis of the Indus script, Cryptologia, vol. 12, 1988,
    pp. 129-143

(4) Indus writing, Mankind Quaterly, vol. 14, 1989, pp. 113-118

(5) Indus and Brahmi: further connections, Cryptologia, vol. 14, 1990,
    pp. 169-183.

(6) Indus script and Brahmi, Hinduism Today, vol.12, November 1990.

(10) The Indus tradition and the Indo-Aryans, Mankind Quaterly, vol.32, 1992.

(11) The Indus Mandala and the Indo-Aryans, In 'Science, Culture, and 
     Archeology-- Dr. S.R. Rao's 70th Birthday Felicitation Volume',
     B.U. Nayak and N.C.Ghosh (Editors), 1992, pp. 105-118.


In these and other papers, Prof. Kak has given "evidence" that the
Indus valley civilization is indeed an Aryan civilazation based on
Rig-Vedic traditions and not a Pre-Aryan (Dravidian) tradition as
had been "wrongly" concluded by Western researchers.

S.R. Rao, Superintendent of the Indian Archeological Department, 
insists that he has deciphered the Indus script and it is Aryan. 
[S.R.Rao, "Indus Script deciphered", The Illustrated Weekly of India"
 12 Dec 1971, pp21-5]

Fairly recent article in the Scientific American, by a distinguished
scholar named Walter A. Fairservis, Jr. "The Script of the Indus Valley
Civilization", Sci. Am. March 1983, pp 58-66 argues that the Indus
language is "early Dravidian".

Unfortunately very little is being done by the Tamils, to counter
what I believe to be a mis-information campaign by some Indian 
researchers on this issue.

       I think this is not what is meant. "Ammi" is a heavy block of
       stone used for grinding "araiththal" of condiments. 
       I think this pazhamozhi says:
       Eventhough the ammi is heavy , it CAN be moved if you keep giving
       kicks or pushes persistently. There is no reference to tortoise
       ( which is aamai in Tamil). A similar
       pazhamozhi meaning identically the same theme is:

          Erumbu oora kallum theyum. 

         [ erumbu = ant, "kal" = stone 
          "they" = to wear out (here it means
           it will form tracks) ]
         meaning: Even ants moving on stone can  leave tracks on stone !
         One might have noticed the wear and tear on the metal handles
         of doors used in public places but I am not so sure that a stream
         of ants marching can leave a track ( not impossible in principle
         unless the "kal" grows at a faster rate !). These pazhamozhi's
         show the importance of perseverence and persistence.

If Meenan Vishnu honestly feels that the TE items he is posting are news,
then won't it be a better idea to send them to misc.news.southasia ?
IMO, the MNS moderator is unbiased and fair.  If Meenan Vishnu is intending
to post AP wire reports, then it would be even easier for the MNS moderator
to post them, as their authenticity and their being more news than
propaganda would be that much easier to decide.

This newsgroup has been, so far at least, relatively free of silly
(and mindless) flame wars.  We should not let one issue take control
and destroy the quality of SCT.
