Ill-treatment for Tamil scholars (2)

       Denial of Participation and Ill-treatment for Tamil Scholars
          at International Tamil Conference, Thanjavur

I know Professors Schalk and Sivathamby quite well.  Both are among the
most eminent living Tamil scholars, and both have made extremely important
contributions. We were fortunate to have Sivathamby at Berkeley for a
semester.  I learned an enormous amount from him -- he is a wonderful
person and an amazingly learned one.  He and the late Kailasapathy (also
from Sri Lanka), whom we were also privileged to have at Berkeley for a
semester before his untimely anbd tragic death, are among the finest Tamil
scholars of the century.  G. Hart, Professor, Univ. California, Berkeley

Following Mr. Kumar Kumarappan's suggestion in soc.culture.tamil newsgroup,
a signature campaign to register our protest regarding this ill-treatment
to Tamil scholars must be done. Here is a sample of publications by
Professors. Veluppillai and Sivathamby.
