Tamil nationalism is a strong aspiration by some Tamils to establish traditional Tamil homelands in parts of India and Sri Lanka as separate Nation s. The Indian state of Tamil Nadu , and the Tamil Eelam region in Sri Lanka are considered the Tamil people's traditional lands. Tamil nationalism is rooted in an identity forged by the Tamil Language . Ideologically, it seeks to preserve and modernize Tamil language and culture, unite Tamils across boundaries, eradicate caste discrimination within Tamils, emancipate and empower Tamil women, uplift the economic status of Tamils, and to securely establish Tamil Identity in a globalized world. In order to achieve Tamil nationalist goals Tamil nationalists seek separate or self-governing political power in Tamil Nadu and Tamil Eelam. TAMIL NADU Tamil nationalist agitation in Tamil Nadu peaked in the 1960s with the Anti-Hindi Agitations . Since the 1969 election victory of DMK under C. N. Annadurai , Tamil nationalism has been a permanent feature of the government of Tamil Nadu. Most mainstream political parties, except a fringe few, are committed to development of Tamil Nadu within a united India. Most major Tamil Nadu regional parties such as DMK , AIADMK , PMK and MDMK frequently participate as coalition partners of other pan-Indian parties in the Union Government Of India at New Delhi . Tamil nationalism in Tamil Nadu is at bottom of every tamilian but unable to express it.Tamils In Sri Lanka are fighting for an independent Tamil Eelam state by bifurcating Sri Lanka. Hence Tamil nationalism no longer poses the threat of Balkanization that it once aroused amongst policy makers in New Delhi. TAMIL EELAM NATIONAL MYSTICISM Tamil nationalism has given rise to various doctrines of National Mysticism , such as Devaneya Pavanar 's Kumari Kandam , a continent spanning the Indian Ocean, submerged in 16,000 BC, or an "original Veda" composed by Mamuni Mayan some 10,000 years ago.
