Dear all, Kalaingar Karunanidhi (CM) wrote the history of Ponner and Shankar (90 % the imaginary history + 10 % the real history) for vote bank of Vellalar.
The Real history of Ponner and Shankar:
Thalaiyur kali mannan (Vettuvar, Lineage of thaliya nadu Sundra Pandya Vallal) won the war. Inscriptions tell that Vellalar(Ponner and Shankar) commited suicide in vala nadu.
