In SINGAPORE, a lot of Chinese were adopted by Indian families during Japanese war time (1942-1945). My grandmother is also a Chinese but was adopted by Indian family. She can't speak Mandarin, but speaks fluent Tamil. Its very common here in Singapore. Anyway i am truly happy for this granny also. She resembles my grandmother! Most importantly she mentioned that she is very happy and that's what everyone wish for. God bless Singapore!

John Ferguson not true, in many minor villages in places such as Haryana it is seen but its not very common. So thats why when even one case is reported, it creates an uproar. If you look at history, only Hinduism gives value to females and even pray to female Gods while in every other religion, God is depicted as male. They say when a girl child is born, Goddess Laxmi has come (translates to luck and wealth, happiness). I remember my Indian friend whose Dad used to say she was their lucky star, she’s a doctor now.

I had a colleague who had a tertiary education and was a professional and had married a good husband. She was an adopted child and she had always bitterly complained, "Why me?" (why her biological parents had given her away among all siblings). If I were close to her, I would have told her that she should be very grateful to her biological parents who had chosen to give her away. They were poor peasants and had many children. If she had not been given her adoptive parents who were rich, she would have not gotten a chance to go to school. She would have married a peasant and had many kids. I am not a Christian but I would have told her that she "would not have know God but would be worshipping idols". She was always complaining about everything, always frowning and grumbling.

Be Proud to be a Tamilian. Tamil is the oldest language, emerged from Lemuria Continent-Kumari Kandam. Today the Kumari Kandam is immersed under Indian Ocean. Researches still going on to explore the Tamil Civilization which was ruling the entire world. In Tamil Nadu, you can witness Iots of Temples and monuments built with carved stones by our ancestors reveals how intelligents they are.

nawin kumar , Indian is a political construct and we Tamils respect it. Tamil is a Culture, it’s a ethos, it’s an identity. Hence we say she is Tamil . Also FYI being Tamil need not mean one is Indian , one could be Srilankan also . You may not realise these things as you live in the north, doesn’t matter we are here to tell you
