Dr. B. K. Khadabadi : Contribution of Jainism (700-800 A.D.) the Jainas have zealously contributed their sizeable mite towards building a healthy and rich growth of Tamil culture, that has earned its distinct place in the colourful cultural map of India.
Lastly, I may close this significant work with the Tamil Vedic words of the great Tiruvalļuvar : 'In the house, where love and friendship have settled well, all desires and purposes become fruitful.'
