Thus, this issue carries a plethora of warm wishes amidst the celebrations of a happy Pongal.

• Pour and Partake and Celebrate the Pongal (PathitRu Paththu, Sanga Tamil)

Like the Sweetness of Literary Pongal, the Dravidian Research Pongal is also enchanting to our Intellect. Our Dravida Pozhil completes two years of age and stepping onto its third year. Measuring our previous paths and planning our oncoming paths, let’s devise an action plan for ourselves. Thus far, we have published 49 research papers and following are the domains that we have dwelt on.

Working and surpassing our own prior victories is the basis of Continuous Improvement. Our plans for this year are:

• Providing a platform for Research Students (esp. Women & Students from underprivileged communities)
• Joining Global Journal Directories of acclaimed Research Papers
• Shining the Lamp of Science on Dravidian based Research Topics

This issue of Dravida Pozhil contains 5 Papers.

• The Role of Self-Respect Movement in the War for Social Justice and Caste Annihilation in India.
• History of Social Justice in Sri Lankan Tamil Society.
• The (Dark) Secrets of the Vedas.
• Approaches of Self-Respect Movement on ‘Chastity’, ‘Husband-Wife Relationship’ and ‘Motherhood’
• Tamil & Dravidian are synonyms.

Please immerse yourself in these papers and share them with your peers. We immensely thank our dear Readers who have been travelling with us in this great Dravidian Academic Journey.
