Just finished reading the English translation of Ponniyin Selvam, First Flood. Enjoyed it very much and looking forward to reading the next volumes. Also inspired to brush up mt Tamil and read them in the original!!
All your comments were very useful especially the one posted on Feb 5th 2006.
Thank-you all.

in point of fact, the readings of the chola inscriptions and also the copper plates show the following:
1. Crown Prince Aditta Karikala was murdered.
2. Instead of Arulmozhi (Rajaraja I), who was technically the next in the line, his uncle-once-removed (Maduranthaka) Uttama Chola ascended the throne.
3. the conspirators responsible were not punished immediately.
4. Arulmozhi became the ruler after the death of Uttama Chola; and
5. He punished some of the conspirators belatedly. At least one was mentioned to be a brahmin, so he was only tonsured and his property seized.
a fairly reasonable deduction would be that Uttama Chola was involved in the murder of Aditta Karikala, hence he took no steps to punish the guilty, and Arulmozhi had to belatedly take vengeance for his brother’s murder.
Kalki, being an excellent story teller of the romantic school, polished these crude facts into literary gems, like walter scot did with the scottish history.
incidentally, i enjoyed the visit to your blog. thank you ]]>

I’m currently working on a project to design a numismatics exhibition. As a history enthusiast (hope you don’t mind my asking) what would you most like to see in an exhibition about Indian coins from 2000.BC to the present? Anything that might catch your interest in particular? Any suggestions or memories about the same?
If you get the time do reply at the above email address. Would be great to get another perspective on things.
Sincerly,
Ruchita
