Yet it is gratifying to note that attempts are now being made by Tamil scholars, educational and other cultural bodies to spread the knowledge of Thirukkural among the peoples of the world and it is being translated in different languages by competent authors. I am particularly glad that one of such attempts by my esteemed and learned friend Professor Avvai S.Doraiswami Pillai has resulted in the form of a paper entitled as “An Introduction To The Study of Thiruvalluvar”, which he has been now brought out in a book form with a view to help the non-Tamils to have access to the greatest, most valuable and inexhaustible treasure-Thirukkural. While con¬gratulating Professor Avvai S. Doraiswami Pillai on his achievement, I wish that he and other Scholars of Tamil should offer many more such treatises to non-Tamils especially to Europeans and Americans.
T.SUNDARAM.
