Commentary Supposing Books Kural
I thought somebody would have read this. There was a cold shudder through my back when I searched all editions available here and nobody read it.I would say if you are only confined to read only novels; then I wont call you as a reader or a person who have a hobby of patience and imagination. There is so many untouched books in Indian Theology and philosophy and everyone run behind so called international bestsellers!!!.
I ever asked me what Am getting by reading a novel..a sense gratification for sometime?? I cant answer it because I like to read it too. But I would chose that book( if there is a bunch of thousand novels I wants to read) that can make me sit and think or make me do some brain storming about what I read.
I would say this is must read by all Indians. It can be compared with Gita or Bible..its in the same conscience of Gita..You can find the same thoughts if you have patience to read it..

Simple and crisp modern translation of the great ancient classic. Opt for gifting to your non Tamil speaking friend, if you want to introduce him/her to the world of Tamil classics.Some pretty good ones in here.
Everyday I read one and I wonder.
This collection of simple couplets is a remarkably robust work on ethics, everyday psychology, and how to apply Saiva principles to daily life. This particular translation, by P.S. Sundaram, is a very readable rendering in modern English; it is quite clear, while maintaining the two-line structure of the couplets. It is thus a very literal translation, though the end notes, while interesting, are rarely even necessary to gathering the gist.
Some pretty good ones in here.
Thirukkural, is a two line proverbial genius, the Greatest revolutionary writing ever to occur on this planet, This ancient south Indian Saint Thiruvalluvar wrote several books about Life, and it is one of a kind of writing putting everything you can say about a particular subject in just two line phrases, proverbs or quotes to simplify the style.
I do not know how to read Tamil, let alone Sangam Tamil, so my impression and review are based only on the translated couplets. The couplets, known as Kurals, are compiled around 2000 years ago and reflect a heavily patriarchal Dravidian society.
