Hi Friends, am new to this group... and am currently in Taiwan am very much interested in knowing the history that too abt south Indians as I am from chola country. this all goes to sandilyan's kadal pura and yavana rani which kindled the fire in me... hence started reading all historical novels from kalki to kovi manisekaran... Only 2 days back i came to know abt varalaaru.com... for the past 2 days am not even able to concentrate in other work as varalaaru has occupied me... kudos to the team... Each and every line in the varalaaru induces me to visit the place...
Hi team once am back i'll join in ur meet and trips... Now i have few questions in me.. can u help me plsss...
1.) I want to know wat all islands were under tamil kings and wats the old and current name of those islands. 2.) i heard that Taiwan was also under some tamil king once. Is it true? If so may i know which part so that i can visit the place. 3.) World's largest Hindu temple is built for king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century at Angkorwat. Is he Tamil King?? i got this doubt on seeing the King's name.

Sri, Thanks for your information. Since i come across kadaram, savaga theevu, shenbaga theevu, mullai theevu, i need the corresponding old names of these islands to easily correlate.
I have few more question 1.) Do still tamil ppl and their generation living in all of these islands? 2.) Was singapore not under Tamil King? If no, how come and when Tamil ppl got settled there.
I hope i'll get answers for all other questions also.
