Mother-Tongue Knowledge Management |
Bala Pillai

I am an ardent advocate of Mother-Tongue Knowledge Management as well. I posted below on Project Madurai, Tolkaapiyar and Akandabaratam working groups -- some of the many offshoots or branches of Thamil Inayam (Tamil Internet that I initiated in 1995). They are at:-

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pmadurai
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tolkaapiyar
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/akandabaratam
I have made many approaches to other mother-tongue groups, especially Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, Punjabi and Bengali including several via bytesforall_readers@yahoogroups.com (http://www.bytesforall.org ) No takers yet. Would love to symbiosis with other "make the world happen" mother tongue folks who are into self-learning to grasp the foundations. So that we can narrow the gap between mother-tongue India and Anglicized India. Takers welcome. I can point you to URLs.

Subject: Project Madurai as a Knowledge Management Tool?
Anpulla Nanbargale,
Who here can be enthused into exploring Project Madurai as a Knowledge Management tool?
Why is this important?
My view: these tomes that our ancestors wrote is the distillation of their life experiences. What they learnt from their successes and failures. They lived these thoughts. They would have thought that putting them down into writing would be a way of passing on the lessons that they learnt in their lives to future generations. They would have intended for those lessons to be lived by us. For that to happen those lessons have to be granularised and contextualised. The lessons have to be woven into the instances and groups of instances that we come across in our day-to-day lives.
If we do so, we will connect the disconnect. I sense we have a disconnect between Tamil philosophy -- > wisdom -- > foresight --- > insight -- > information --- > day to day “data”.
I believe if we use the lessons of our ancestors to “connect the dots” better, there would be greater demand for our the lessons of our ancestors. Instead of mainly those who want to preserve them for posterity and those who are into it for their literary value, we would be honouring the lessons, by having more increasingly attempt applying it to our day to day lives. And in this experiential learning cum “learning through conversations” process live it.
This occurred to me as I just recently wrote for the best Knowledge Management community that I know in the world, ACT-KM. See “What Is Knowledge?” and “Ruptured Intuition” at http://www.tamil.net/node/226
Next steps: (1) Put up your hands. (2) Ask Questions
