temple constructions
dear Mr SPS; Thanks for the reply. I was hoping somebody would answer that question. "European castles with conical tops copied us" now, that would stir up quite a controversy. I would like to know what were their methods, how did they kee…

REVIEW OF UDAYARKUDI INSCRIPTIONS :: AK's MURDER
I had compared DaVinci code to this situation because both tend shake common beliefs, the scale of the controversy (although the DaVinci controversy is much greater),both if proved right would tear to pieces all that was believed uptil now. And both…

REVIEW OF UDAYARKUDI INSCRIPTIONS :: AK's MURDER
Dear Mr SPS; "SUCH BOOK DID SURFACE AND WAS CRITICISED BY HISTORIANS." Can you give us the name of the book and the author? This could have been "The DaVinci code" of our culture.

REVIEW OF UDAYARKUDI INSCRIPTIONS :: AK's MURDER
dear Mr SPS; Dont u think a 16 or 18 year old can plot and kill his own brother? I think this is possible. Wasn't RRC younger than 18 when he fought battles in Lanka? I think RRC was mature enough at 16-18 and certainly had the mental and physi…

Evolution of English Language
This shows that the English language had developed such a huge vocabulary by just "borrowing" from other languages... You are right about that, Suganya. This is the spcific reason that English has such a wide spread use and hence lives on…

British Rule
Dear "Not Mrs" Swetha; :):) Please dont try to convince me otherwise. We really would never know which of us is true. So i think we will keep argueing and gain more knowledge from more learned people like Mr Venkatesh,Mr SPS,etc BTW sorry…

British Rule
Mr Arun; You are right is saying that the British rule is much appreciated by the Hindus especially by my Brahmin community. I wanted to mention this in my very first post but dint for not wanting to hurt sentiments unecessarily.

There is a post in my blog rahuldhinakaran.blogspot.com called "An Indian Identity". It is about something similar. Hope Mr Venkatesh and co like it. I will be posting something about his arguement soon. Please dont pay too much attention …

British Rule
we have started quite a arguement havent we!!? As Mrs Swetha said all these arguements can only be relative as what has happened has happened. For all the specifics from Mr Venkatesh (both of them and one more from Pondy) it really does hurt when pe…

British Rule
The British did quite a number of good things to our society. Education was really the jewel in that. We are still reaping the benefits of having the largest English literate society outside the countries which have English as their mother tongue. T…

British India
Hi all; I think Mr Sridhar is right is saying that there were both pro's and cons to the British rule. Ghilli World Cup?!, Mr Sridhar, before this cricket mania we were champions in Hockey, have won Olympic medals in football, we invented ches…

Dear Mr Venkatesh/Mr Arun; Thanks for your mail. With all due respect to you both i beg to differ. I think India still would have been a vibrant economy even without the British. Maybe it would have taken a bit more time but it would certainly have…

Dear Mr Venkatesh; British between 1750 and 1780(correct me if i am wrong). If this is so then how come we call the 1857 Mutiny of Sepoys as the First War of Independence. Mangal Pandey was not even angry because they were ill treating Indians it w…

Dear Sir; It was just a joke and i apologise if it was taken in any other sense. Also please refer me as Rahul. Only my overseas clients refer my father (Mr Dhinakaran) and me by the same name which creates quite a confusion at home when they call…

ettayapuram
That is a great habit to have Mr SPS. But your list does not seem to have the soil of my Madurai,sir. If not please add the soil of probably the greatest historical city in Tamilnadu (Tanjore folks, we can argue later) to your collection.

Dear Mr Venkatesh; That was a fantastic article, really informative. Marudhanayagam's life is very similar to the Mel Gibson movie "Braveheart". I have read some other stories of scotland and their legends are not that different from…

Dear Mr Venkatesh; I am writing this mail because the subject of Maduranayagam came up in our below mail. Did you mean Marudhanayagam? There is a mosque near my home in Madurai where they say his head is buried. This area is called Samattipuram. Th…

Hi; Was busy for the past 3 days so couldn't participate. I think in one way Sridhar is right we are also equally responsible. We should take up the responsiblity to leave a better India to our future generations. If only Rajaraja had taken m…

Hi all; I feel easwaran is right. Hinduism should not be treated as just another religion.Hinduism is a way of living which has evolved over centuries. Idol worship is present because our ancestors believed in the presence of a superior being(God …
