About Kalki
Well Dhiwakar Kalki did bring in a small incident - not connected to the storyline at all. But he did bring it in. maybe he thought of writing about it later. Mangaiyarkarasi in SS

About Kalki

About Kalki
dear dhiwakar Sir ellam venaam, vj is fine. the question is kalki wrote about AMV during a period when nothing is known about him. It is a writers dream, to get a clean slate - but then he could still manage to paint such an endearing picture of hi…

About Kalki
dear sps the question is - actually can't be asked in this forum - we need to check with others - what is the impact of kalki on our views of these great kings. maybe before we read kalki's work - did we look at them and their works - for…

Why do we need to know about chola history

Dear Dhiwakar Please do no mock the seriousness of this esteemed group. We would be more than happy to see a good thread of history / historic fiction than an avalanche of such. Please do your bit to constructively assist the content of discussions.
