"The Confederation of Tamil Agriculture, Commerce, Industry and Services (CTACIS) has named this conference 'Tamizhar 4.0' by classifying the historical journey of the Tamils into four distinct phases. The period up to the Third Tamil Sangam, during which Tamil language and virtue flourished, is classified as Tamizhar 1.0. The era of the great Chera, Chola, and Pandya kingdoms, which built empires, established maritime trade routes, and created foundational infrastructure for agriculture and water management, is classified as Tamizhar 2.0. The period of the broad pursuit of social justice and the expansion of education led by Vallalar Swamigal, Thanthai Periyar, Karmaveerar Kamarajar, and Perarignar Anna is classified as Tamizhar 3.0. The era representing the Tamil dream of achieving a great renaissance across multiple fields-including economic self-reliance, excellence in higher education, global recognition, and achievements in industry, commerce, knowledge sectors, language, arts, and culture-is classified as Tamizhar 4.0" said CTACIS Founder Rev. Fr. Jagath Gaspar.
