Karthigai
  • Dear Madam,

    I am very thankful to you for enjoying the story. The historical story is based on the practices adopted on those days.

    The restrictions on the arrest of persons is based on the historical inscriptions.

    The said inscriptions was made on 25th regnal year of the Chola king Rajaraja chola I, which is found on a pillar in the mandapa in front of the Varadaraja perumal temple, in Kaveripakkam village, Arakonam taluk, North Arcot district.

    The restrictions on the arrest were mentioned in the inscription

    In the said inscriptions among other things it is mentioned ,

    The mahasabha are exempted from accepting any instrument of legal action (karana)(warrent of arest to be executed) either on a full moon day (uva), the first day of the bright fortnight (pratipat) or the sankranti day

    In case any such instrument of action is served no male (purushas) or female member (strikal) should be taken to the village assembly hall (or court-ambalam).

    Those who takes women to the court hall (in centravention of this decision) commit crime against the king and the village assembly.

    Therefore, our great heroine karthikai correctly pointed out the illegal arrest of anatha varmanbefore mayavan as well asgreat king and won the case.

    Thank you once again Madam for your kind remarks

  • Thank you dear,
    The practice adopted during the period of arrest is the base of the story - Thank you very much
  • Sir

    Does it mean that women will not be arrested even if they commit crime?

    A.Vaidyanathan
  • Dear,

    You please refer the following portion of our Great Dr Nagasamy's essay.

    1)The village assembly is exempted from accepting any notice as instrument of action on three days

    2) Neither the defaulting male member nor his womenfolk should be summoned to the village curt on these three days.

    3) On other days, only the erring male member should be taken to the village court and

    (4) In case the erring male was not found (abscending) , his womenfolk should not be taken to the village court.

    Therefore the above restrictions is applicable to the specified days i.e either on a full moon day
    (uva), the first day of the bright fortnight (pratipat) or the
    sankranti day

Howdy, Stranger!
