WorldData.info puts the number of Tamil origin people in the world to be 84.12 million, spread across several countries and continents. Recent archaeological findings prove the antiquity of Tamil language as 5000 years, a language well equipped with scientific grammar and a richly versatile body of literature, and it is the only language that has survived all the way to the modern world. Tamils are also a people who define their cultural nationhood based on their language, and there is scholarly acceptance today of this language and its people as an ancient and enduring civilization. A careful and critical analysis of their literary, socio- cultural, and knowledge traditions charmingly reveal of their civilizational foundations deeply anchored on universal humanism, environmental primacy, pursuit of knowledge and high ethics, spirit of enquiry, importance to logic & mathematics, hard work, and above all empathy, harmony and peace. The advances Tamils are making today all around the world in various professional and public pursuits emanate from these civilizational foundations. It is the same values and ethical tenets that make Tamil people relevant to the 21st century world. The RISE UK Europe would inform the global community in a more articulate manner who Tamils are, what makes them a distinct civilization and how they can also contribute to the shaping of a more equitable, inclusive, humane and peaceful 21st century.
