Sati in PS and Chola times
Sampath, i thought itihaasam is legend, not history. Could be either way. Legend makes better sense to me. Yes widows were treating miserably, we don't have to go as far as silambu for that, even during the time Kalki penned Thyaga bhoomi brah…

Sati in PS and Chola times
Venkatesh, ok then fine. Am just saying there is no reference to Sati in Ramayana or Mahabharat either. The only two women who committed SAti in these two epics are Mandodhari and Pandu's wife Madri both of whom had specific reasons. Mandodhari…

Sati in PS and Chola times
VJ, none of the versions of Ramayana have any reference to SAti other than Mandodhari which could have been because the kingdom was captured by rivals. Dasaratha's wives lived long after their husband passed on. Kamba Ramayana in my humble opi…

Kalki and "Aahaa!" Expression
Allola kallolam is still a very common 'tambram' word. Not sure if Kalki was its originator though.

Kandanmaran in Suranga paadhai
My humble take on Nandhini's complex relationship with Veerapandiyan is just that she really did not know who he was. He could have been father/brother/lover anyone, it is left to our imagination and quite understandable how we can be confused …
