Pure Tamil...

Our gracious minister for local administration (talk about inventing a position), M.K. Stalin recently called on all Tamils to name their children in pure Tamil. Right. This from a person who is got such a pure Tamil name!

Anyway what on earth is a pure Tamil name? Would Christian names be pure Tamil? How far back in history do we go for pure names? Since a lot of Tambrams have sanskritised names, I guess we aren't pure enough for Stalin.
