Representative - பிரதிநிதி (Sanskrit/Hindi)
Original Tamil word - சார்பாளர்
The word commonly used now for representative - பிரதிநிதி comes from the Sanskrit word பிரஜை (citizen). Everywhere in the news, we listen to the word பிரதிநிதி being used during election results, assembly/parliamentary sessions etc.
The original Tamil word, however, is சார்பாளர். It comes from the word சார்பு which means stand-by/represent (on-behalf of). In another context, it also means dependent on (e.g. நான், என் தந்தையைச் சார்ந்து இருக்கிறேன்).
First and foremost, the official communication has to change to சார்பாளர் instead of பிரதிநிதி, to bring about a change in the common usage. Will the government administration or political parties, who all swear about fighting for Tamil, bring about such changes that would go a long way in actually reviving Tamil?
