Background[edit]
The World Classical Tamil Conference 2010, officially the 9th World Tamil Conference and informally known as the World Tamil Meet, is an international meet by Tamil scholars, researchers, poets, celebrities etc. from all around the world, which was held in Coimbatore from 23 to 27 June 2010.[2] A poem titled Semmozhi was penned by the writer turned politician, M. Karunanidhi specifically for this meet, but with the wider vision that it be an anthem for Tamils across the globe. He demanded this poem to be set to tune by Tamil composer A. R. Rahman.
It took two to two-and-a-half months for A. R. Rahman to complete recording the song,[3] which was appreciated upon release.[4] Neither Rahman nor Gautham Menon, who directed the song, took any remuneration to do this song.[5]
Release[edit]
The launch of 'Semmozhiyaana Tamizh Mozhiyaam' was held on 15 May 2010. In addition, the video to the song, directed by Gautham Menon was screened to an extremely positive response. On 18 May, the song was made available for free download from A. R. Rahman's official website and on 21 May from The Hindu official website.[6]

The lyrics were penned by M. Karunanidhi. The central message of the song is that all were equal by birth and they should have the feeling that they remained so even later and they should live as one race.[4] Through the lyrics, the history of Tamil literature is also highlighted. After the initial composing was over, a new verse was added highlighting the works of Tamil poets Kambar and Avvaiyar.[7]
