About Kashi-Tamil Samagam
It is a central government effort as a part of “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav.” The initiative strives to promote the Tamil language and culture while also honouring the spirit of “Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat.” The programme, which runs from November 17 to December 16, aims to rekindle the centuries-old intellectual ties and prehistoric civilizational connections between Tamil Nadu and Kashi (Varanasi).
“The Kashi Tamil Sangam is a programme I am particularly enthusiastic about. It will be a celebration of the spirit of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat and will also celebrate the beautiful Tamil language as well as culture,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted.
The one-month programme will include seminars, panel discussions, and interactive conversations on the historical connections between the two civilizations.
