Ramayanam before Kamban 63 - Valmiki in Inscription - Nanda dynasty in Sangam
Well... On a real, scientific basis, race does not exist. It has no physical or biological foundation. We are all one species, capable of interbreeding with any other human being on the planet. Differences between populations, on the other hand *do…

Ramayanam before Kamban 63 - Valmiki in Inscription - Nanda dynasty in Sangam
Hi, No need to get worked up about anything! We're all open-minded (I hope, anyway), and I for one wouldn't mind seeing any of my pet theories demolished completely, if the evidence points to it (and of course, I would love to see one of …

Mamandur - a cave workshop?
Hi all, Could someone verify and expand on my attempt at translation? 137: Fourteenth year of Rajaraja (first 10 lines are Meikeerthi - Hail! Prosperity! so on and so forth). The place is described as "Kaliyur kottam, Chittiramekathadagam, Th…

Vallam - Vasanteshvaram Cave Temple
As I recall, the board we saw wasn't the typical ASI blue-board, just a rusted old sign saying "PALLAVA CAVE TEMPLES". I don't remember seeing any other signs... Shash

Another question: What's the deal with the Tirumayam and Malaykoil inscriptions? If they're really Pandya inscriptions of Gunasena (like Kudumianmalai), that's a big argument against the Kudimuanmalai inscription being by Mahendra. A…

Millennium old Tamil inscription found in Trincomalee
Interesting! The letters seem to be written between ruled lines, like a school notebook... Does anyone know if this was followed anywhere else? Shash On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 10:44 AM, sathis kumar

Indian - School Book - History - A nice read :)
Hmm, the version up at http://www.textbooksonline.tn.nic.in/Std6.htm seems to be much more sane than what's described in the article. More conservative dates for the Sangam age, a good 4 chapters on the Pallavas, though strangely, nothing on th…

*sigh* I see that my old friend Lemuria is in there... Really, this is about as bad as creationism in the west - hopelessly outdated theory kept alive for political/religious reasons... Is this textbook online like the CBSE ones? I think one can d…

Chola atrocities?
I've always come from the scientific side, where we start with the facts, and come up with a theory that explains those facts. We then use that theory to make predictions which can be evaluated based on either current or new evidence, and then …

Chola atrocities?
I'm against this - at least for the time being. This is still too much of a hot-button topic, and I think it would be wise to not become political on this forum. However, I'm willing to discuss it offline, or in another forum where it is a…

Dear GRS, Whether we want to discuss this in the group or not, this particular conversation seems to be with someone ignorant of history or its complexities. a) Chola destruction of Jain / Buddhist temples: Yes, the same Cholas who gave permission…

Possibly a stop on the way for the Romani? Long distance travelers on the Silk Route? But both articles seem to have different images... Will the real Russian Vishnu please stand up? ;-) Shash
