Great Hero

The early part of the 19th century was a dark period for the Eelam Tamils. Under alien British rule, there was the danger of the Tamils losing their language, culture, their way of life and their religious beliefs.

During this crucial period, Arumuga Navalar, the champion of Saivaism(Hinduism) and the pioneer of Tamil prose appeared on the scene.

The Chritian missionaries were converting the Tamils to Chritianity by providing education, employment and concessions. There was a real danger of the preponderant majority of the

Tamils circumbing to these inducements and attractions, and eventually, losing their Tamil and Saiva identity. It was left to Arumuga Navalar to awaken the consciousness of the Tamils and to make them aware of this drift.
