We all read in PS and many historical novels that queens like kundavai married commoners by loving.My doubt is whether it would have been possible.I thought that they never had any sort of movement outside the palace or access to commoners.They must have only met the princes who come in as guests and must have fallen in love.
Historically I have seldom heard of a princess marrying a commoner or even falling in love.Prithviraj samyuktha story is love story,but even there she met him when her father and prithviraj were friends.
except small kurunila mannars this princess,commoner love story seldom happened i guess.
have you guys heard of such princess,commoners love stories which are real?

Kundavai married Vandhiyadevan its a historic fact..He was a prince and may be a pauper....
Kalkis potrayal of vaname koorai and bhoomiye veedu might be his romanticised version....

Secondly in atleast Chola Kimgdom the women were involved in many social events including charity and building temples and athura saalais hospitals Thats well recorded in history...
I understand only the Pandiya dynasty had the ruling rights for the females as well I may be wrong read it somewhere...
As for a historic novels are concerned they always use a person of lesser prominence of history as the hero with the main historic figure more n the background because the author can then use his imaginations widely...
Dear all have any one seen the Alai Osai Serial in TV....I havent read the book am doing it now but I was told those charecters brought kalki's charectors to life
Hi, Very long ago, the serial was telecasted in DD and 4 or 5 years ago, Jaya TV did a repeat telecast of the same. Venu Arvind played "Raghavan" and was damn good.The grey shades of the character were brought out well. The actresses who played Sita and Dharini hardly resembled each other, though they were supposed to in the novel. But still good performances.
Dear Sampath Thank you We have so much to discuss as it is evident in the recent mail trails
> about destruction of temples,duty of every youth of tamilnadu to stop > invaders....in the fifth part of ponniyin selvan.
