From down south of India - the Proto Tamil language is the basis for modern Tamil, Malayalam and others. We still have Sanskrit being used by Temple priests. One of changes in the last decade is - Tamilnadu finally has temples with priests using Tamil for religious rituals. Sanskrit was gate kept by the priestly class. It’s not a colonial reframing.

Look forward to Tamil being used in mosques and the Adan being in Tamil instead of Arabic.

In Kerala most of mosque prayers are in Malayalam. I don’t know whether they do same in tamilnadu

That’s in utterly bad taste. Not sure what offended you. But there is no need to call in Muslims and mosques in this conversation.

Was your argument not about replacing non-local languages like Sanskrit and Arabic (used exclusively for liturgical purposes in Tamil Nadu) with local languages like Tamil? If not, it might be useful if you spelled your argument out.
