Tamil is an ancient Dravidian language, rich in literature and poetry. It now enjoys the classical status of a classical language by an act of legislation in 2004. The Tamil script, commonly known as the Vattezhuthu, originated from the Brahmi script.
The first literature to be ever published, in an Indian language, was ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ in Tamil by the Jesuits, dating as far back as 1578. However, the real effort taken to translate the Bible into Tamil was the German missionary Bartholomew Ziegenbalg in 1706, at Tranquebar. Benjamin Schultze and John Philip Fabricius also extended help in this great effort.
With the founding of the British and Foreign Bible Society (BFBS) at Calcutta in 1811, the onus of publishing Bibles in Indian languages fell on the shoulders of BFBS. To ensure speedy translation of the Bibles into South Indian Languages, the Madras Auxiliary of the BFBS came into being in 1820. In 1850, the first Tamil Bible was published by the Madras Auxiliary of the BFBS, but the translation failed to meet the expectations of the people. Soon, a revision committee with Henry Bower as the chief translator was set up in 1857. Many scholars came forward to assist, noted among them was the churchman and scholar Robert Coldwell. This translation also was met with stiff opposition especially in Ceylon. The outcome was the publishing of the Union Version in 1871 after carrying out the needed corrections.
This union version displaced all earlier Tamil translations. Periodic updating was carried out by BFBS, as warranted. On India becoming a free country in 1947, BFBS handed over this text to the Bible Society of India (BSI) as the moral heir for Preserving, Sustaining, Preface updating, and Publishing the Bible for use by future generations. Thus, the BSI has legally become the sole custodian of the text with accountability to the Churches in India at large.
