We tamilians had the greatest Hindu king India has ever produced. Raja Raja Cholan. His empire extended from North India to Indonesia.
We introduced Hinduism in Indonesia and Singapore and still practiced in Bali. We built some of the greatest marvels in the world history like Big temple in Tanjore.
And bcoz of missionaries and some opportunists, we are making fun of them. What a culture we have?

It depends on the definiton of brahmin. According to hindu scriptures, Brahmin is any person who realized "Brahman" or god.
According to missionaries and current government, kids born to any so called brahmin cast is a brahmin.

Tamilians have an almost uninteruupted rich culture from time immemorial. Persons like Karunanidhi can do nothing to tarnish the image of tamilnadu and the culturally rich Tamilians. Tamils were far advanced in all spheres - arts, literature, sculpture, drama, poetry, religion, administration, temple building and virtually in all fields.
