Being a Software professional , prior to joining our Group, did you ever think that you will be writing on "Tamil History" and share it with such a large gathering ?
Here is the part-1 of my series of articles. In the next part I will cover the transitioning/ adoptation of writing in Tamil Brahmi script in ancient Tamilnadu. We will also see the variants of the script and a rough timeline. Happy reading & send your comments too.
1) Vaaram Oru Inscription - We can examine one inscription per week scientifically
2) Vaaram Oru Arasan - One King per week
3) Vaaram Oru Chapter - Recently I saw a movie "Jane Austin Book Club. In this movie a group of people set out to read one Jane Austin book at a time and discuss it and see how it afffects their lives. Like that we can read one chapter in PS a week and discuss the people and scenario portraited.
... we can do a lot. Only some volunteers are needed to steer things!
I must say, these seem to be great ideas. Not to mention the fact I get to learn more and more about our history - and get more material to write :) Looking forward to it.

Hi All i differ . the earliest kings have the least details available. i think time should not be a factor. that should be thiru's problem. he can list them chronologically in the archieves.
I think dhiwaker should write on any later cholas or mahendra pallavan- something he is very strong at. then the other topics we could cover include rrc, rjc, koperunchikan, etc.
I have noticed reference to KOPPERUNCHINGAN in our R Venkat's mails...
Looks he is getting armed...
Request him to commence on this..
Re Sangam Period Kings, I will make some opening..
KADAIYEZHU VALLALGAL ... Vairam can take ...
Among them ADHIYAMAN's daughters getting married with the help of Kabilar - Avvayar, Kabilakkal at Thirukkoilore, and those famous inscriptions .. Vijay may be the best bet !
