கி.மு. 6ம் நூற்றாண்டிலேயே தமிழர்கள் எழுத்தறிவு பெற்றிருந்தனர் என்பதற்கான வரலாற்றுச் சான்றான #கீழடி ஆய்வறிக்கையை அரசு வெளியிட்டதை வரவேற்கிறேன்....

DMK president M.K. Stalin welcomed the official release of the fourth phase Keezhadi excavation report by the Tamil Nadu State Department of Archaeology, characterizing it as a historic scientific milestone. The report confirmed through carbon dating that Tamils possessed widespread literacy in the Tamil-Brahmi script as early as the sixth century BCE. Stalin stated that these archaeological findings conclusively prove Sangam literature reflects historical reality rather than mythological invention, firmly establishing the antiquity of Dravidian civilization.

Stalin emphasized that the Keezhadi discoveries validate the long-held Dravidian conviction that Indian history must be rewritten from the southern peninsular perspective. For decades, conventional historical narratives prioritized northern excavations while overlooking urban civilizations along southern riverbanks. Stalin noted that scientific evidence from Keezhadi demonstrates an advanced urban society engaged in weaving, pottery, metallurgy, and international maritime trade, devoid of rigid sectarian hierarchies.

He congratulated the archaeological experts, scholars, and activists whose tireless dedication ensured that the excavations progressed despite initial bureaucratic hurdles. Stalin declared that the DMK will continue to champion archaeological research, demanding expanded excavations across ancient Tamil sites to unearth the full historical legacy of Dravidian culture.
