REVIEW OF UDAYARKUDI INSCRIPTIONS :: AK's MURDER

Grama Devatas
Hi, My family deity is "Arunchunai Katta Ayyanar." It is near Tiruchendur on the road to Tirunelveli. The temple must be quite old. But in recent times they have renovated it like anything. In my child hood, we used to cross two big lake…

jewels of tamilnadu
So did they all ended in Moghul hands? This "Sen Kathi Malai" looks something special... If it reached the Moghuls, there must be a mention of it somewhere... Or it is still burried somewhere waiting for an archeologist ? While I lived …

kavyadarsa - Dhandi - Samskrit poets - Pallavas
Thats great! The Tamils perhaps possesed some historic gems ( another one is illustrated in Mannan Mahal of Sandilyan during the Rajendra Chola period) where they are all gone? This Kohinoor diamond was one of that ?

kavyadarsa - Dhandi - Samskrit poets - Pallavas
Hi, You can meet Acharya Dhandi in Sandilyan's novel "Raja Thilagam" some expressions from his works can be read there. It is a good novel to read.

British rule Vs Muslim rule..
Hi, I think the cult of the devadasi system originated during the pallava or the later chola era itself. Can some one tell the life style of these women those days? Were they also concubines / sex workers? Recently Sun TV ( or K TV ) aired a movie…

British Rule
I think they also brought in very good system of justice.

British Rule
Yeah. I will also thank those missionaries who offered to sell hooks & buttons ( inspire of protest from upper cast hindus) to women of those underprevilaged castes without which they wouldnt have worn a jacket.

I think all these Zamindars had some connection to the past - might have been chieftians or local rulers under the Chera / Chola / Pandian empire ( like our Sambuvarayars & Paluvettariars) mostly formed under political motivation. The lineage o…
