Sir, Thanks for ur acknowledgement.My brother feels the name suits me to a T because I poke my nose in his affairs! Sometimes fiction is larger than life and overshadows history.I happened to see a copy of Rajaraja chola Amarchitra katha for my son and was shocked to see that it was only ponniyin selvan in comic form.Adhitha Karikalan is described as ruthless and unpopular.My heart bleeds for the 12 year old lad who immortalised himself in the sevvur battlefield.Is there any historical evidence that veerapandiyan was unarmed and injured.?For all we know,"veerapandiya thalaikonda "could have been in a duel. kunthavai
