Historical records - the charm of dwelling into the past
Do you know why we got freedom at midnight? 15th August alright, but why did it have to be the stroke of midnight? It never stuck me as odd - but after all, Pakistan got its freedom during daylight! why should our independence be gotten at midnight?…

Catalogue of historical novels
We could create a database in the yahoogroups. But why restrict to tamil historical novels? I hear that there are other great historical novel writers in other languages... especially in english.... why not include them also?
