Hi Manikandan,

Thanks for your comment. I was in north India earlier this year and I found a book with a map showing Tamil Nadu stretching far down into what is now the Indian Ocean. I have also read that there are underwater cities off the coast of south India and that the 2006 tsunami uncovered the ruins of more lost underwater cities.

This is fascinating stuff and the western and Indian view of the ancient history of India seem to vary a lot. I am really interested in this topic. Next time I go to India I will go to Tamil Nadu and take some lessons myself. I work as an English teacher but my interest is in all languages. I want to get to the bottom of this mystery.
