New find by REACH team - Sankaramalai Patti Inscriptions
Thanks! Wonderful shots... The beginning of the Meikeerthi is clearly visible in the first inscription photo: "Konerinmai" is easy enough to read if you've been told it's there! Hope it can be saved... Shash On Thu, Apr 5, 20…

In a slightly reversed way, Prithviraj and Jaichand was pretty much that... Not killing his rival, but getting his daughter's suitor killed because he didn't approve of him. I'm sure there are outright examples; quite a few wouldn…

Characters like Brutus in Kalki novels
No law is that black and white... Degree of involvement and "*mens rea*" or guilty conscience are important aspects. Anyway, there's no doubt that Brutus was an assassin - the questions are, was he a traitor? Was his treachery motiva…

Sir, I think you're misinterpreting Brutus - he's not merely a betrayer of Caesar. He's a friend of Caesar's who betrays him because he believes in something (the Republic), which he feels is greater than his friendship. Look at…

My feelings don't come into it... I'm not personally hurt. But nevertheless, what you wrote was incorrect and I had to correct it. I've seen this topic come up again and again, with the similar incorrect "facts" quoted ever…

So, the charge is that his love doesn't meet your standards of love - which is apparently defined as "something Shah Jahan didn't do..." How can we not be talking of history when we're discussing eminently historical figure…

I think you're trying to apply modern morality to a Mughal emperor, which is unfair to both. First, we're on the Ponniyin Selvan group, right? What would you say about the double-handful of wives the Chola emperors had? Rajaraja himself h…

VKR sir, At least after this set of counter-evidences to your claims, can we PLEASE set aside the wrong notions that you keep raising in the group?

Reasons for fall of Chola Kingdom
Maybe, but we don't know what their burdens were... Or even if they are in any way comparable... Shash On Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 10:29 AM, laxmanan kailasam

Wonder if that was a detriment rather than an achievement. Or possibly both? We can represent all these using a common notation. Imagine if you had to learn hundreds of names for each denominator, and after that, you don't have them all! Calcu…

Then all it tells us is that there were a lot of inscriptions about taxes in that time. Doesn't mean that the taxes were higher. On the other hand, rapid revisions of the tax code would indicate some instability, maybe? Shash

The greatest Heist in Indian history..How Indian History was changed and we didn’t even notice
Reading the textbooks (I'm only reading 6th right now), I found some very interesting things. First, the good: 1. On multiple "pasts" Did you notice the title of this book, *Our Pasts? *We have used the word > ‘pasts’ in plural t…

Sir, I'm not sure what this table purports to show. Is it the ratio of the number of inscriptions on taxes, or the percentages of those taxes? If the latter, 0.15% seems absurdly low, and nearly 45% (if it's given as a fraction of 1, and n…

INDIA - In Inscriptions
I don't think the name India is that late; as early as the Maurya times, Megasthanes used the term "Indica" for his book. The mode of computation with the decimal system was referred to as "Modus Indorum" all through the med…

Probably you won't find it in any Indian ones; maybe Greeks, maybe Persians (though I'd expect Persians to use "Hind" instead). Maybe in Ashoka's rock edict which is in Greek? If you could find the full text? The actual pr…
