SHIPBUILDING FROM ANCIENT INDIA
Hi, I remember my father-in-law talking about such a state of affairs(idli for diwali) for him during his childhood days.. I dont think Tamilnadu has dramatically improved, until the villages are far removed from poverty.. :(

Kalki's Impact
Satish, Thanks to Dr.Jaybee, the name of the book is "Mannan Magal", one of the quick paced books. KanniMadam is known for the subtle humour in the guise of a character called "Adigalar". Sandilyan is THE AUTHOR who can come up…

Kalki's Impact
Satish, I would suggest that you try Kadal Pura first, to get a dramatic insight into Sandilyan and then there is one about Rajendra's Gangai conquest, I forgot the name, Kannimadam( i did not enjoy much) due to the dragging sequences in some …

Pitfalls vs Glorification
Kopperunjia was infact supposed to be from the line of Pallavas and hence had ambitions of reviving the pallava dynasty.. I am not sure, if the Hoysalas overram him, I am not sure if it was someshwara who did that.. Infact Hoysalas themselves overt…

Walking time! (Alwarkadiyaan Nambi)
Hi All, We are all forgetting that being a spy that Alwarkandiyan could be using horses in places or times which would not have been the important to describe.. So, in fact he could cover most of the places in horses, and be walking by foot, i…

Periya Pazhavettaraiyar & Nandhini
Hi, Nandhini is only using PP for her own ends, and it is to kill Aditya Karikalan(primary goal-nandhini's personal interest) for the Pandya abathuthavis and if so possible to get to overthrow the colas(secondary goal - for panyda spies) …

What happened to our members?
Most of Mamallapuram structures are mis-named and mis-introduced by our guides.. Infact the pagods(pandavar ratha) is definitely not named so when it was built and arjuna does not do penance to bring Ganga to earth.. so why has it been misnamed and …

Art of palllavas
Hi Bala, Dr. Nagasamy(www.tamilartsacademy.com) has proved beyond doubt the RajaSimhan had done the Rathas. We should be passing on more reliable information(than the misguided guides). Please do keep up your mailing, you have so many inter…

Nandhini
Hi Naarayan, I feel the same way as you do whenever films mock Brahmins.. My mother is an iyengar and my father is a kallar(primary castes of cholas). I am still proud about my lineage, something like the best of both worlds and I am able to …

PS as a mega serial
Hi Sri, I feel you are better off making the start yourself. PS itself is a huge money expenditure whatever media or method you follow. Money is an more important criteria, as financial implications and analysis are important and must be put i…

PS as a mega serial
Hi All, Translation kills the beauty of dialog delivery, but we can inturn use sub-titles for other languages, as dubbing is always out of sync and sub-titles still help carry forward the feeling. "Kandukoden Kandukoden" ran in Mumba…

Hi Venkat, Can you please let us know the dumb character in question?

NanDini!!!!!
Hi Gokul, Thanks for the input. I am of the opinion, that Nandhini's father could be of pandya origin or relations.. for that matter even cholas are related Pandyas and chera, so its an maaman-machan sandai.. or is it could a dowry problem? …

NanDini!!!!!
Hi, When Aditya recalls his beheading of Veerapandiya, he recalls Nandhini saying that Veera pandiya is her lover. Again Nandhini being born to Veera Pandiya is a doubtful statement, an Oedipus Rex episode, I beg to differ because Kalki was bette…

NanDini!!!!!
First, as per the book Nandhini is born to oomai rani, but the antecedents of the father is unknown. Only other character that provide inputs is the Karuthiruman, whom vandithiyathevan meets in the prison. Nandhini is veera pandiya's lover and …

Lord Macaulay
Hi All, My response on Lord Macaulay's speech has become a rallying point against skeptics of our culture and history(I am not one of them). :) I am glad about it. My point is that until the British system was introduced, education was on…

Hi Rahul, I am not in support of this document, but I have my reservations about the authenticity of this article. First, Thieves and Beggars, were always plentiful in our country whatever said and done and with plentiful massacres, wars and rebe…

Hi Venkatesh, That pretty much solves it as to why the pandyas did not go to Sinhalese for help, which was forthcoming when cholas were present.
