Q. Who was the Sage who Aryanised South India?
Answer: Agastya
Notes: Sage Agastya, often considered the father of traditional Indian Medicine, is also associated with the Aryanization of South India. The Yadavas of South India were the first to be aryanized. Agastya compiled the first Tamil grammar called Agathiyam. Rishi Agastya inspired all the Siddhi texts that were written by several Siddhars. He is the first to introduce Silambam – an ancient weapon-based Indian martial art and Varma Kalai – an ancient art of healing that uses vital points of the body. Not only that, human civilization is thankful for Rishi Agastya’s theory of electricity generation.
