- Summary:
- The film is a celebration of diversity within the Tamil, India and Islamic world. It throws the spotlight on the less spoken Tamil Muslim community, its history and identity, and how Islam took early roots in the Tamil country, even as it was spreading across the Arabian peninsula and beyond. The story is told through Kombai S. Anwar's perspective, himself being a Tamil Muslim. it covers archaeological excavations, inscriptions, old mosques built in the architectural traditions of Tamil Nadu & Kerala, other existing traditions, Sufism, literature and interviews with well known historians. The film showcases more than a millennium old harmonious co-existence of Islam in Tamizhagam.
