Buddhism and Tamil

By Mayilai Seeni Vankatasamy

First published in 1940, Buddhism and Tamil was one of the pioneering attempts to trace the history of Buddhism in the Tamil country. The book challenges the then-prevalent belief that Tamil is synonymous with Saivism and problematises the simplistic understanding that Hinduism had always been the religion of India.
