Hi all , Can I make a suggestion? Why not conduct a e-workshop on PS?This could help focus on all issues of relevance-literary,historical,geographical,cultural and so on.It can even be a rolling one in which as and when some one has arrived at a sig…

Dear SPS, That was a magnificent response on behalf of the entire group to the issue raised by Sridhar Rathinam.Let us keep up the pressure. I have one more question to add to your list: Why was Arumoli's mom called Vanavanmatevi when it is kno…

Dear Vijay, I understand your emotions but such is life.We have to follow facts to their logical conclusions.That does not detract from the great literary merits of PS.But as for its historical accuracy,well, that is to be decided purely on the basi…

tamil history on the UNESCO AND NIC sites
Dear SR Please do post the letter to the group site.I would certainly like to act on it. The case of Thoongum Thamilar is definitely something to be bothered about.The sad situation that prevails in Cauvery is another example. GR

Dear Gokul, Your mail is enigmatic to me.Can I take it that you agree that there is a strong possibility that Arumoli was the infant who was left behind by his mother when she committed sathi?What is Tiruvalankadu theory?What questions are raised by…

REFERENCES TO TAMIL ROYAL DYNASTIES & TAMIL COUNTRIES IN MAHABHARATHA
Dear Sridhar Rathinam, May I venture a few clarifications on the points raised by you? 1.The names Andhra,Karnataka and Kerala are not post linguistic reorganisation ones but original names which had been restored after centuries of distortion.For e…

Are Imperial Cholas outsiders ?
Dear Sridhar Rathinam, It is clear that we have some intriguing evidence here which does not tally with our preconceived notions of cola history.That 'this particular Vanavanmadevi"is none other than RR's mother is clear from the insc…

Yandu - Regnal year
Thanq Gokul for that nice explanation.By the way I take it that Adi Punarvasu 985 corresponds to the year of ascension to the throne of RR. Is any one familiar with ephimeris calculations of the kind the late L.D.Swamikkannupillai used to perform? GR

Hi Sriraman Balasubramanian, Welcome.It is not regional but regnal year.Regnal is the adjective for reign and regnal year means the years elapsed after a king's ascension to the throne. GR
