In Last week Anadha Viktan, I was reading "Hai Madhan" - to a question from Iraianbu I.A.S, asking why Madan didn't try writing about Chola history, the answer Madan's has given seems to be controversial one...
He is answering that no clear proof or evidence to know the actuals during those Kings rule.. as most of information from Poetry - which were written by Poets who were patronized by the kings (with Wine(??) and Gold), Madan is commenting that they were mostly hyperbolized and not true..
I'm just thinking how far our proofs are valid.. Whatever we infer from the works we do, how much percentage of trueness we can think of?
