Well Sampath, That prompts me to read Kamba Ramayanam. But I am afraid, I can't understand that much poetic form of Thamizh (Coz I studied Thamizh only upto my 5th std). Is there any kamba Ramayanam in Urai nadai form??? Please let me know.

HI Satish, Everyone has the right to know about the TRUE history and not distorted figures. But at the same time, what we learn should not create hate against others. Agreed, Moghuls destroyed a lot of temples. At this age of 25+, when we learn abo…
