Introduction

Concomitant to the evolution of the human species, the philosophy of teaching and learning has been formulating itself. Both members of ethnic groups and a number of communities have given serious thinking to this issue. Evidences could be unearthed in relation to this line of thinking among Vedic Brahmins and Jain monks. Through Tamil literature, we understand that poets have been knowledgeable and were operating in this area of education. As in the Greek and Celtic societies and as what prevailed in the Dravidian tradition, Tamil culture was impregnated with noble thinking in education. Though kings had explicit plans to take education to common man across the spectrum, it was the British who implemented equity in access to education, when division in every name existed. Ayyothidhasa pandithar was a doyen among who supported the cause of the subaltern people for their holistic development.
