I am reading through 'The Colas' at whatever pace that can be managed with two kids. Yesternight was reading through the Takkolam war and was wondering whether Kalki and KAN met any time during their lifetime and what they thought of each others work. The Colas was published first in 1933 which is a couple of decades before PS was written. And KAN was alive when the second edition was published in 1955. There is a very high probability that KAN read PS. Kalki may have sought some inputs from KAN also regarding PS. Do we have any evidence of their relationship? Do we have any documentation left on KAN's thoughts on PS?(being a historian, he would've been able to appreciate Kalki taking the history to the masses?!)
If any of you can share any information on this, that would be interesting.
Kalki did not associate much with KAN at a personal level to the best of my knowledge. Even at a book level, kalki used Sadasiva pandarathar's Prikalach chozhar varalaaru almost word by word rather than the cholas
Remember that The cholas clearly accuses Uttama as being in the plot to kill aditya karikala
