Pure rubbish.
When the islamic invaders reached Tamil Nadu they forced the state language to be PERSIAN.

It was thanks to the advent of the Hindu Vijaynagar Empire that free TN from islamic invaders.
wiki is your source ? where does it state that Urdu or Islam was imposed on Tamils ?
for the 700 yrs that Muslim ruled over your lot, they could have converted everyone to be Muslims , impose Urdu or killed anyone who refused to eat beef etc, But they didnt , Hinduism survived whereas Buddhism and Jainism vanished in India , how's that , explain ?
Non Tamil Muslims and Europeans have contributed to Tamil culture but not the non Tamil speaking Indian or the past/present Indian govts which have have been suppressing Tamil language and culture and imposing it Hindutva ideology of 1 nation, religion, language policy on Tamils.
The Hindi occupying invaders pose a greater threat to Tamil than the Muslims or British rulers of the past, these "invaders" adapted to local Tami traditions and imbibed many aspects of local Tamil culture
English Anglican Missionary G U Pope - translated Thirukural into English and wrote on the excellence of Tamil:
"Tamil is a sophisticated unique language, with a rich vocabulary. It is the mother of all South Indian languages, Tamil literature was designed to create high moral standards, ethical codes and Thirukkural is a great example of that. It is in a land of people with very high ethical codes and who nurture human discipline that such moral books are created and could be created. Thirukkural is as clear as an unpolluted spring. Yes! Thirukkural, the unique book, has come to remove the impurities of this world. 'Within a short time of my learning Tamil, I commenced translating Thirukkural , for the benefit of Europeans. It took several years to complete the translation and I offer my gratitude to God for the final result."
Cathloic Italian Jesuit priest Veeramamunivar ( Constnzo Besch) gave the Tamil dictionary
Satura-aharadi, a dictionary of 60,000 Tamil words compiled in 1732 by Italian Jesuit priest Constanzo Beschi (more popular by his Tamil name Veeramamunivar), is being digitalised

Muslims contribution
Umar Pulavar of Ettayapuram wrote Seerapuram, a Tamil epic on the life of the Prophet
17 th AD Kunankudi Masthan Sahib wrote poetry in a mystical, metaphysical style inspired by the Siddhars, or Shaivite saints of Tamil Nadu
When the brahmanist were questioning the merits of Ramalinga vallalar's Thiruvarutpa , it was the formidable Tamil Muslim scholar Sadavathani Sheikh Thambi Pavalar, of the 12 AD from Nagercoil who came in vallalara's defence
