I had published a List of Indian Kings from the Date of Mahabharata to Chandra Gupta Maurya.
I here below provide a list of Kings of Tamil Nadu,Chera, Chola and Pandyas from the Mahabharata Times.
Tamil Kings were present during Ramayana and Mahabharata.
Lord Krishna attended theTamil Poets’Conclave-Tamil Sangam.
Please read my post on this.
History is what one
chooses to write.
The validation of History is by
1.Refernce to in contemporary literature.
2.Astronomical Data and
3.Reference by foreign records.
Tamil and Indian Kings list are validated by contemporary literature and astronomical data.
And Foreign records also refer to them if these foreign records are contemporary or after the Kings period.
One accusation against Indian History as told by Indian Puranas and literature is that not enough material is quoted by the Purana (though there are instances where they have quoted) of Foreign literature and Kings.
That is, Foreign literature does not quote Puranas/events mentioned by them.
My answer is that my grand father can not quote me.
