Hey, i read a translation of Tamil literature in English called Shilappadikkaram, I borrowed it from my university library.

I can understand about Tamil culture and Indian history through this work. It was written by Illango Adigal. He is a Jain and a royal, the brother of Cholan or Cheran king, I can't remember this detail, but it is something like that.

This book was translated by Alain Danielou. I heard also about the continuation of this Shilappadikkaram book in another book with the title Manimekalai. The stories in those books are interesting and it portrayed the diversity of the religions and philosophies in India particularly in Tamilian area in the ancient time.
