The maritime trade links between Tamil Nadu and the Gulf Middle East
regions were rich and robust in the ancient times. Spices, pearls and
ivories from the Tamil regions were high prime commodities of that
era. However the last three centuries witnessed a decline in this rich
legacy of trade and commerce due to various historical reasons. Even
the revival of Tamil - Arab engagements in the last fifty years have
largely been cantered around blue collar labour and mid level
professions. However there are winds of change and fortune of
possibilities for the future.
As the Gulf region economies are moving towards a post-oil future and
have begun preparing themselves in earnest Tamils of the region, more
than 1.5 million in number are well equipped for partnering to assist
the region to build resilience, particularly to shape knowledge based
economies. Food security, net - zero targets, HR, Education, and
Advanced healthcare are areas offering excellent possibilities.
