British India vs Post Independence India
China was united under Qin, the dude who started the Great wall which was completed by Ming dynasty. They were not speaking different languages (dialects were different) but for most part they were big time clan based (even now). The reason why I th…

Did RRC looted maldives and lanka, similar to britishers?
Dear Vijay It is interesting to read this event. It is the same kulothinga III that built the sarabeshwarar temple (a simply superb temple, a very serene atmosphere after 6 pm) and restored thribuvanam temple along with many multitude of temples (a…

The thiruvilayadal line of dharumi comes to mind... paatezuthi peyar vaangum pulavar...one :-) This is what I said: > Gandhi as a personal man - i reserve my comments, i feel unethical to comment on that. What his sons say are their views.

I had earlier mentioned about the hottur inscriptions on RJC. But one must wonder...why did the hosala kingdoms support the cholas till Rajaraja III reign ? Kinda sounds odd though, may be a bit more reading into that part of detail may help. If it…

Dear Venkat Gandhi as a freedom fighter - a national leader for the freedom movement was the greatest we can ever imagine. Gandhi as a personal man - i reserve my comments, i feel unethical to comment on that. What his sons say are their views. Gan…

Dear Venkat, There is no odd notion here. And you have also been attaching an emotional outcry without attempting to understand or completely read what I had mentioned. And I do not need lessons to patriotism either. Your grasp on my words as usual…

I have heard of this book, I believe Dharampal details how the british pulverized the indian economy and society. I have heard that he delves into great depth on the madras constituency tax structures.

Almost 1/2 the world was a british colony, US to China... Egypt to south africa... australia etc. India is unique coz of its diversity. I dont think we can compare to any other colony, according to me ...closest can be said as china.

Prior to any further note, I dont think I had insulted any one's background or ancestor. If there has been any accidental mention, I would appologize for it. However there were mentions of sarcassm towards freedom fighters and Gandhi too. Emoti…

Dear Sridhar I sure do not understand your point... Aurangazeb vs Sivaji was not a national struggle nor was Kalinga vs Ashoka... our freedom struggle was unique, we wanted a new country under our native dharma... that is why Gandhi is a name that …

Here i will be using your last line as my first. If we accept that with humility we will progress... Humility is our main weapon, as citizens of bharat, we all humble enough to have accepted many rulers and many opinions, bharat is a natural democr…

:-) Agreed to that point. And it is true that I will never accept the supremacy of the crown. Pakistan vs India is something of a different ghost and again points to british (may be i can give them credit for a useful side effect). What was india …

Sporadic incidents cannot be termed in general. You are confusing democracy and imperialism. You cannot do these in democracy but monarchs can. You are only talking of TN where there were so many states in the country. British unification was an acc…

Sati was not a rule, even during the Kuru clan (1400 - 450 BC), satyavati ruled after her husband Vichitravirya's demise. 10th century rashtrakutas followed widow remiarrage. Read for Niyoga on the topic of widows (jews and spartans practiced i…

Dear Venkatesh Your view is of a burned down India, negative critic at the best. You can keep on complaining woefully that India would have been a bunch of tribals or a ill equiped lot of villages. Well, ask the remaining of community to see who ca…

Nawabs stood no chance in changing India to persia. It cannot happen - it will not happen. The last Mugal emperor was not more than a mere pawn. If you believe the power of the nawab empire would stand for ages, that will be a wildest guess in the r…

British did India no favor by building rails or bridges, they did it for their own cause for the 'long haul', unfortunately they bumped into some road blocks in name of genuine freedom fighters such as Gandhi , Patel , Bharathi and Bose et…

interesting question
The fact of KAN and Kalki are absolutely true. But I disagree on Brits. they tampered with our history so much that RRC and RJC are not even known up north as much as how much Shivaji or Harshavardhana are known in the south. British had systematica…

Suggestion for TAMIL in PS

Today there are no kings. Only corporates. Ambanis / Tatas / Marans rule India. We are at a stage where we cannot even get our neighbors to give us water... RJC or RRC just getting planted in today's world may not be a solution or idea. Forget…

I have heard / read about this about RJC, not just in Hottur but more towards MP also. RRC was more of a diplomat compared to RJC, I personally believe that was the reason why RRC is known as a great emperor than RJC even thought the later had more …

Whose LOVE is THE greatest - Yaarudaya kadhal anaithayum vida uyarnthathu?
I agree SPS, but those were different mairrages compared to our V.thevan, he was a homeless warrior. Others were alliances to combine kingdoms. What intrigued me in this case was, V.Thevan history in real is quite curious, other than being the frie…

On Kalki's points of Devan L Kunthavai ... I have been wondering for a long time... is that Kodi asainthathum kaatru vanthatha or katru vanthathum kodi asainthatha ? Was their wedlock responsible for the love or was some documented evidence of …
