Dear Kumar,I request you to read Anusha's Kaveri Maintan which is sequel to Ponniyin Selvan and my Malarcholai Mangai which is prequel to Ponniyin Selvan. Both books will make you to understand the entire history during that period. In my malarcholai mangai I had elabroately discussed the various incidents of the characters in their young age. After reading these books you may give your comments. Both books are available at Vanathai Pathipagam at Chennai YoursDr L Kailasam
