Cities after the Tamil Greats
  • Dear All

    I stumbled on this mail while surfing the net Very interesting but unique may be we should do this.....
  • > Will all the people of Tamil Nadu jointly make a
    > move with the help of the Government to rename the
    > two cities of Tamil Nadu {Chennai & Thirutchi} as
    > "RajaRaja Cholapuram" and "Rajendra Cholapuram"


    Hello All,

    We all understand the feeling. Our Chola Kings
    particularly Rajaraja and his son Rajarajandra Cholan
    are not given the due respect. Renaming the cities
    may be good. But ........


    Remember the Transport corporations of Tamilnadu
    were named as the Pallava, Chola, Pandya, Chera
    transport corporations depending on the regions. I
    was so happy when this happened. But then what
    happened latter? There were people asking the
    government to name their part of the transport
    corporation after some small(may be important) king,
    and latter on some political personnel of
    yesteryear's, and latter ........

    It went on to an unmanageable extent, when the
    government finally canceled all renaming. I am not
    against renaming, but in future our hero Rajaraja
    Chola should not be equated to a local politician in
    renaming.

Howdy, Stranger!
