History of translations
[edit]When Shuzo Matsunaga made the first Japanese translation of the Kural text in 1981,[1][2] he also translated it into Korean, thus making it the first translation of the Kural literature into Korean.[3] In 2015, the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, J. Jayalalithaa, announced the allocation of ₹ 3.6 million towards translating the Kural text into Korean.[4] The translation was released by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu K. Palaniswami on 23 May 2017.[5] The first copy of the translation was received by Consul General of the Republic of Korea in Chennai Kim Hyung Tae.[6]
