While reading the PS again, I got a doubt. Thought I will clarify with the group.
Is there any historical proof that the Pazhuvetarayar's conspired the overthrowing of AK and bringing UC to power? Becuase since PZ are committed to the chola kingdom, they should have obeyed whatever the King, ie. sundara chola says and should not be going against them. Thats visvasam, right. I just wanted to know about the historical proof. Probably its Kalkis plot to make the story interesting. Any comments.
Uthama Chola, joined hands with Ravidasan to have Adhitya Karikaalan killed, And there is a research that Ravidasan is a Chera, rather than a Pandya. If this is so, then there are chances that Pazhuvetaraiyar to have been a part of this. After all every body is human, a oath may be important but circumstances changes every human right?
Then we can assume that UC was a great strategist than AK or sundara chola and not a backboneless creature as depicted by Kalki. Cant say he must have been much greater strategist than RR, because as Sri said earlier, RR never thought of ascending the throne when AK was there and so he never involved in such politics. So by the time he realised the plot and reacted, UC would have finished the game. My opinion is UC used Ravidasan and co to kill AK and used other sitrarasars to ascend the throne. If this is true, what was the status of pazhuvetarayar in UC regime? any comments.
I guess, the crime might have been motivated by UC and his associates, since there seems to be several years between the murder of AK and the punishment of the murders. Ravidasan & co would have enjoyed a great time under the UC regime. RR might not have possed the authority to bring them to justice. So he waited for the right moment ( until he comes into power )to punish them.
BTW, I have a silver coin of UC. I dont know which UC it was. They also say that Rajendra Chola was also called as UC. Somebody please clarify!
