Ponniyin Selvan Varalaatru Peravai

Hi All,

I bought a book in the book fair ‘Kaalap pEzhaiyum
Kavidhaich chAviyum’ by our CM Kalaignar. It was an
attempt of writing tamilnadu history chronologically
in kavidhai format. He wrote in his own style which
makes the reading easier and enjoyable. It starts from
Karkaalam and ends with 12th century, the decline of
cholas.

The book is available in Poompukaar publications. The
publisher told that Kalaignar couldnt continue after
cholas as he became CM then. Surprising point is 4
chapters are exclusively for Rajaraja. And he gives
the references also like which theory was taken from
which book and author.

Thanks Kamal. That is a wonderful book. Just bought and finished
reading.

In his own irony he has quoted Neelakanta Sastri and Padarathar and
even fixed the ascendency date of RRC 25.6.985 !

Very interesting indeed.

I used to admire Nehruji’s World History writings.

We are fortunate to have the Elected Chief who knows History of
Tamilnadu.

thanks Kamal. anbudan / sps

Hello everyone,

This is Anandh and am a new member in this group. I started reading
Ponniyin Selvan in December last year. The book was so engrossing
that I finished reading all the volumes within December thanks to
some sleepless nights. It was a difficult read, as I had to read all
the volumes from the internet (one drawback of being in USA) – but it
is worth the pain.

Kalki’s words are amazing and absorbing. Eagerly waiting to read the
other books of Kalki. I am equally amazed by this active group,
which is vibrant for many years now.

I now have a new found interest towards Indian history and have
started reading the “Colas” by Nilakanta Sastri. It is interesting
to see public libraries here in US have copies of this book. Now I
have both the first and second edition – currently reading the first
edition. I see some difference in the facts w.r.t Uttama Cola
between this book and PS, may be the second edition will give me a
clear picture.

I am interested to know what other books are available about Indian
history. I will try to collect this book by CM when I visit India.
Please suggest me on indian historical books.

Thanks for maintaining such an active group,
Anandh.

If you are in – say California – we can request some one travelling
there to carry it.
Yet check and get back to you the courier costs. We should not wind
paying higher inland – over there.

Tamilnadu Universities are offering such course..
Annamalai is better//
