    History of South Indian Kings ,List Verified Dates From 5100 CE

    Indian history is in need of revision. It is right now an amalgam of misinformation , disinformation and outright lies.I have written extensively on this, providing the real history of India with authentic sources,mainly from foreign classical authors especially ,from Greece.I have also provided resources from Russia,references to India,Indian Kings from the history of European races ,tracing the presence of Indian Tribes there.And I have provided sources from Indian texts, Purana,Ithihasa and Sanskrit literature.Apart from this, I had also written on the Tamil Kings, Chera, Chola and Pandyas whose timeline is quite ancient and their presence is felt in foreign lands too.

    The Puran and Ithihasa mention Tamils,Tamil Kings and talk about their presence during Ramayana and Mahabharata.Tamil literature,in turn, quote these and corroborate what is stated in Puran and Ithihasa.

    So, it would be ideal, to arrive at the date of Tamil Kings( ( three kingdoms), by cross checking with Puran.I had written on this in detail.The list of Kings found in Puran and Ithihasa are validated by latest tools of history,Archeology,C4 dating, references both internal and external in Indian and foreign literature.

    So it stands to reason to cross check again the Timeline of Tamil Kings , Chera, Chola and Pandyas with Ramayana date . ‘ Taking into account these details the Birth date of Lord Rama is January 10 in the year 5114 ‘ and Mahabharata. ‘So the date of the Mahabharat War is pin-pointed as 16th October 5561 B.C..We shall also attempt to list the Tamil Kings chronologically with the help of Tamil Sangam Literature.

    Tamil King Udhiyan Cheralaathan fed the armies of Kaurava and Pandava during Mahabharata war.His son Cheralaathan led an expedition to North in 5600 BC. ‘Chera King Cheralaathan Expedition to Himalayas 5600 BC

    Narkudi Velalaaaru ,in Tamil, published in 1920 by Arumuga Nainar Pillai, a Tamil scholar,traces the Genealogy of the three Tamil Kings .The source of the book is the Traditional folk songs of the people of South India.This book has 1035 poems which talks about the three ancient Tamil Kings of South India,Chera , Chola and Pandyas.The book was also researched by a great Tamil Scholar, N.M. Venkatasamy Nattar and also by other Scholars including Kasu Pillai and Mathivanan. This Tamil Kings list,apart from sourcing from the Traditional folk songs ,also includes the Tamil Kings mentioned and detailed in Tamil Sangam Literature. Pathittruppathu anthology is the main source among the Sangam Literature.Puranaanuru ,another Sangam classic has a list which differs slightly from this. I shall be writing on this.

    Now that date of Ramayana and Mahabharata are proven, as I have detailed in the beginning ,we can now work out the dates of Tamil Kings,Chera,Chola and Pandyas.

    Date of Mahabharata war is 5100 CE.Chera King Perunchotru Udhiyan Cheralaathan fed both Kauravas and Pandavas during the Mahabharata war.His date is thus 5100 CE.His son Imayavaramban Neduncheralaathan’s Northern expedition took place just after this.

    # You will find the dates of these Kings in the above Links are quite different and are dated much later than what I have provided in this article.I would like to record that this Blog is research oriented and as I explore, I update the information and as a consequence, latest posts carry updated information. The process is difficult because Indian history taught in schools is absolute misinformation and India has quite an ancient timeline.And we have so much information from many sources,which hitherto has been neglected.

    பதிற்றுப்பத்து எட்டு சேர மன்னர்களின் வரலாற்றை அவர்கள்  ஆட்சி புரிந்த ஆண்டுக் காலக் குறிப்போடு தெளிவாலக் கூறுகிறது. கா.சு. பிள்ளை அவர்கள் இந்த ஆட்சிக் காலத்தைக கி.மு. 4-ஆம் நூற்றாண்டு முதல் முறைப்படி கணித்திருக்கிறார். 

    இந்நிலையில் 1920 ஆம் ஆண்டு மதுரையில் அச்சிட்டு வெளியிடப்பட்ட நற்குடி வேளாளர் வரலாறு என்னும் 1035 செய்யுள் கொண்ட பாண்டியர் குடிமரபு கூறும் நூல் பாண்டியர்களின் 201 தலைமுறைகளைக் குறிப்பிடுகிறது. 

    ஆட்சியில் இருந்தாலும் இல்லாவிட்டாலும் அடுத்த தலைமுறைக்கு உரியவனுக்குப் பட்டம் கட்டி வந்த வழக்கத்தை இவர்கள் கொண்டிருந்தனர். பாண்டியரின் ஐவகைப் பிரிவில் கொடி என்றும் பிதிர் என்றும் பிரிக்கப்பட்ட வண்ணம் இருங்கோவேள் பிரிவினர் வழி வந்தவர்கள் தொடர்ந்து பட்டம் கட்டிக் கொள்வதைக் கைவிடவில்லை.  . இதன் வண்ணம் கி.பி. 1944 இல் இயற்கை எய்திய போற்றியடியா 
    இருங்கோவேள் 201 ஆவது பாண்டிய மன்னர் மரபின் பட்டம் கொண்டிருந்தார் என அந்நூல் கூறுகிறது. 

    இந்நூலில் பெயர் தெரிந்த பாண்டியர்களின் ஆட்சிக் காலம் கலியாண்டுக் கணக்கில் குறிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. 

    காசுமீர வரலாற்றை இராச தரங்கிணி குறிப்பிடுவது போல் நெடிய பாண்டியர் மரபை நற்குடிவேளாளர் வரலாறு  குறிப்பிடுவது,  நெடிய மூவேந்தர் வரலாற்றை மீட்டமைப்பதற்கு ஓரளவு துணை செய்கிறது. இந்நூலில் ஆரியப் படை கடந்த நெடுஞ்செழியனை 87 ஆவது பாண்டியனாகவும்,  வெற்றிவேள்செழியனை 88 ஆவது பாண்டியனாகவும் குறித்திருப்பது ஏனைய சேர, சோழ வரலாற்றுக் காலத்தோடு நன்கு பொருந்தி 
    வருகிறது. இந்நூலில் கண்ட குறிப்புகளின் வண்ணம் விடுபட்ட பாண்டியன் பெயர்களையும் சேர்த்தால் கி.மு. 500 முதல் கி.பி. 500 வரை 1000 ஆண்டுக் கால பாண்டியர் தலைமுறைகளைக் கண்டறிய முடிகிறது. 

    1000 ஆண்டுகளில் 40 தலைமுறை குறிப்பிடப்படுகிறது. ஒரு தலைமுறைக்குச் சராசரி 25 ஆண்டுகள் என்பது இயல்பான நிகழ்ச்சி ஆகும். இவர்களுள் கடைக் கழக நூல்களில் 20 பாண்டியர் பெயர்கள் மட்டும் உள்ளன. 

    ஏனையவற்றுள் பிற சான்றுகள் வாயிலாகக் கிடைத்த பெயர்கள் சேர்க்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. 

    கடைக்கழக இலக்கியங்களின் வாயிலாக  அறியப்படும் முதுகுடுமிப் பெரு வழுதி, கருங்கை ஒள் வாட் பெரும் பெயர் வழுதி ஆகிய இருவரும் முறையே 66 ஆவது, 67 ஆவது பாண்டிய மரபிரராக அறிய முடிகிறது. 

    இமயவரம்பனும், பல்யானச் செல்கெழு குட்டுவனும் வாழ்ந்த கி.மு. 350 – 300 கால அளவில் 70 ஆவது பாண்டியனாகிய தேவ பாண்டியன் ஆட்டி புரிந்ததாக நற்குடி வேளாளர் வரலாறு கூறுகிறது. 

    பாண்டியரின் கிளை மரபாகிய இருங்கோவேள் மரபு கி.மு. 2283 கூன் பாண்டியனில் தொடங்குகிறது. http://tamilansekar.blogspot.com/?m=1

  • Tamil Chola Kings List From 3020 BCE to 245 BCE,Missing 160 Million Years

    Tamil Chola Kings List From 3020 BCE to 245 BCE,Missing 160 Million Years

    The study of Puranas and ancient Tamil literature is exciting.

    Thanks to the educational system introduced by the British, we have been trained to take Indian history as legends and figment of imagination.

    Till the advent of Internet we had no means of checking whether what is mentioned in Indian texts is fact or fiction.

    Now resources are available in the Internet, not only in English but in other languages as well.

    If one cares to check these resources one would find corroboration of Indian Texts.

    Astro dating, linguistics, anthropology, archeology, Carbon dating, Infrared dating resources are aplenty to validate Indian texts.

    Cross referencing Indian texts with Foreign authors,right from Plato,Thucycides is possible.

    Some interesting facts about ancient Indian history emerge.

    There was Sanatana Dharma of India which preceded all civilizations.

    It was present throughout the world.

    The current date assigned to Rig Veda, Hinduism as 5000 BC is no longer valid as Sanatana Dharma goes back possibly by million years!

    Another curious fact is the presence of Dravidas in the south of Vindhya ranges.

    This civilization quotes Vedas and they quote Tamil,a Dravidian culture.

    Enough material is available to prove that the Dravidian Kings were the forerunners of Sanatana Dharma and the first Man Manu was a Dravidian King.

    The Cholas were cousins of Ikshvaku Dynasty,by virtue of Manu’s daughter having been Married to a,Chola King.

    Tamil kings,Chera,Chola and Pandyas were respected by the kings from the region where Sanatana Dharma was flourishing.

    Three kings,Aryavarman,Ariyappadaikadantha Neduncheralaathan and Imayavarmban Neduncheralaathan invaded North India and settles people there.

    One can find Brahui,a Dravidian language is found in Balochisthan and Afghanisthan even today.

    Tamil is spoken among the Cameroonians even today.

    Traces of Tamil culture is found among Hitties,Elamites,Aztecs and Mayans.

    The Home of Tamils ,Lemuria is 230 million years old and Himalayas was not even formed then.

    Himalayas were formed about 70 million years ago.

    The issues that confounds are,

    Who influenced whom,Sanatana Dharma, Tamil or is it the other way around?

    If Dravidians/languages are found throughout the world and especially in the North of India,how come they were in South ,when did they move and why.

    What was lying in the north of Vengadam,Seshachalam hills,the northern boundary of Lemuria between 230 million years ago and 70 million years ago when Himalayas was formed?

    One finds details of Shiva in Lemuria, but only limited information about him in Sanatana Dharma,that too relating to Himalayas and His marrying Uma.

    Why?

    I am searching ,through I have written articles on these issues.

    To unravel this one has to check the Kings List of Tamil Nadu.

    There are references in foreign sources and Puranas about these Prehistoric kings and I intend finding out the Truth.

    For instance, Chera king was named as Aryavarman and the term varma is of Sanatana Dharma origin where the Kshtriyas,Kings use Varma as surnames.

    This king is mentioned in Iranian legends!

    I had written on Tamil Kings List from 404 BC,where I have covered Cheras and later Cholas.

    I am yet to write on Pandyas.

  • Kings List Of Tamil Nadu From 400 BC

    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

    English: Map showing the extent of the Chola e...
    English: Map showing the extent of the Chola empire during Rajendra Chola I (c. 1030 CE) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

    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.
