## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must read to understand Indian civilization
*by K***N on 28 April 2019*

It's a very good book with exceptional insights. The author provided substantial evidence for his hypothesis as described in the title of the book. The connection observed between or among various schools of thoughts clearly depicts the possibility of thiruvalluvar's attempt on abridgement. In a well civilized state, we can see or observe similar social attitudes or behaviors to develop a better system or atmosphere to sustain as well as progress existing growth. Hence, several authors made efforts at distant time point to provide a guidelines which is suitable for their own race, creed. Even nowadays, we too try to inculcate or bridge the best thoughts of Eastern and Western philosophies and cultures. Hence, we cannot rule out thiruvalluvar's noble attempts. I would like to read another book which provided contrary evidences for the thoughts expressed in this work. Then, it will be easier to conclude

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic book. An eye opener to the original source ...
*by P***R on 19 February 2018*

Fantastic book. An eye opener to the original source of Thirukkural with its vedic base. Its a good rebutal to dravidian & separatist politicians who were until now painting an atheist image to Thiruvalluvar while in reality the very first kural is an ode to God.Very Happy to have made the right choice in buying this book.Would recommend this book to both Tamil & non Tamil friends as its majorly written in English for wider audience with only quotations in Tamil.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Valuable Content but presentation is poor
*by V***R on 28 May 2019*

Nagasamy shows the parallels between thirukkural and Dharmasashtras. Even ideas between Sashtras and Thirukkural closely matches so much that any possibility of coincidence is ruled out. There was a free flow of exchanges between tamil and sanskrit and Thirukkural shows high reverence to Vedas and Brahmins. But one problem is that the book contains lots of grammatical errors that makes it unreadable. Its disheartening to see that such valuable research is presented in such a sloppy way. With all due respect to the Author Dr. Nagasamy, he should have subjected the preprint to multiple levels of proof reading before publishing. Once these errors are corrected, this book will be a gamechanger in the current discourse about religions and their history in Tamil Nadu.
