Infact Someone the otherday was saying some Tamils migrated to Marutius back in the 1800's! Infact the reminascence of an ancient Rama Temple led some people to believe that it must have been a part of Present India and drifted towards Africa, but this is not well supported theory. Due to the movng of the Earths' plates, just like Autralia is moving towards India - 4cm every year!, they claim marutius must have moved towards the west. The argument is then why did not other continents move - why did not Lakshadweep move, why only Marutuius moved? Ofcourse this is a subject of much debate and speculation, so I conclude this e-mail. And By the way Indian's constructed the FIRST Indian Temple in Britain back in 1970's - It's a Murugan Temple - Britinia Murugan Temple of the Hindu Temple Trust. I came to know this from a Live recording from WestMinster Central Hall, London. A record from 1975 (The Gramophone Recording Co. of India Ltd.). Similarly Batu Caves in Malasyia. It was constructed in 1900's by the first Tamil settlers there. || THIRUCHITRAMBALAM || Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
