Accepting, yes, Vikrama Chola is Uttama's another name, the person Pzhuvur Nakkan who was with Uttama then changed his stands in favour of RR.
perfect, as quoted in earlier mail Udayankudi inscription (refer SPS mail on Dr.Balu Book) not related to RR and its belongs to may be Uttam.. correct
Then whats the need for nakkan to change his stand ,cos he was already enjoying a higher position in that govt.
and also how come RR gave him importance to a person who just changed his stand, Logically not coming up.
there has to be some other link, a political game behind that, which was not directly disclosed and of our inscriptions. May be even the marriage of Panchavan mahadevi is also a political arrangement and not Love
May be the transfer of power from uttama to RR has not happend in smooth way, there has to some transaction ...
During BJP's rule DMK was a close aid of BJP and enjoyed all the powers. Next election they are close aid of Congress and enjoying powers. Congress depends on DMK for its foothold in TN. They are giving importance to DMK inspite of they being a close aid of the previous BJP govenrment.
Arasiyalla logic ellam kidayathuppa. where there is power there is support. These politics are nothing new.
Just changing sides alone will not provide any evidence for us to speculate. Gokul, SPS rangela edhavathu think pannu... :)
I don't see why we shouldn't compare politics today and in those days. Human nature has changed very little over the past thousands of years. The same desires, goals, lust, greed, love have driven human beings across millennia. I doubt if RR or his people would have been any different from us. Sure, he might have had some wonderful qualities, but let's not deify the man. Who knows paybe in a 1000 years, Karunanidhi might have similar wonderful qualities attributed to him :-)
