same person who came for our event with Director KB - am sure you were in there as well - cant see you in the photo. Let us know more about this exhibition
TKV RAJAN - Editor Indian Science Monitor - organised this Exhibition on behalf of ISM.
The exhibition was inagurated by Prince of Arcot. He lit the Kuthuvilakku. His speech was emotional. Recalled his contribution and that of his forefathers to other communities too.
Like the area around the theppakkulam in Mylapore. Prominent areas near Triplicane Parthasarathy temple.
Trichy Bishop Heber College land and St Josephs land etc., etc.
He visited Paramacharya when alive for 8 to 10 times and could seek clarifications on one to one basis atlast more than once.
Kanchi Seer Jayendra Saraswathi visited Arcot Nawab's Ameer Mahal in about 1991 and bought out the list of about 300 grants or so of Nawabs in TN !
Carnatac Nawab was how they were known as !!
While interacting after the speech - I pointed out in lighter moment that Nawab who sold Madras to then East India Company - pointing Rev Dr,Jeyaraj - Principal of Lolyoa (who was present) and added that the document remained with ASI Sathyamurthy !!
Rev Dr Jeyaraj was all prise of the efforts by REACH and offered support of his boys too. He invited REACH to Loyola to interact with their History Deptt.
They all encouraged the idea of HERITAGE CLUB.
Prince drew the attention of all to the fact that terror remained in all quarters and Religion should not be mixed with that as communal harmony is more important.
I pointed out that always it has been habit of coastal Hindus in TN to visit Nagoor - Nagaptnam and Velankanni - and particularly the famous Velankanni Festival commenced just a couple of days back.
The exhibition is highly informative drawing references to Mahabharata to indus vally.
