The much hyped Tamil film ‘Ezham Arivu‘ talks about a Pallava Prince,Bodhi Dharman, who goes to China,teaches them martial arts and indigenous medicine and he is revered as a God in the Shaolin Temple in China. In the euphoria surrounding the legend…
Now the date of Thiruvalluvar is fixed by Maraimalai Adigal as Vaikasi 'Anusham' 31 BC.
'Vaikasi' Second is three month away from Thiruvalluvar Aandu.
If the Calendar is based on Thiruvalluvar Aandu where is the necessity of tinkering with Tamil New year as 'Chittirai?
Even here the year of Thiruvalluvar is incorrect.
Karunanidhi says the date of Thirulluvar Aandu was decided upon a meet by Tamil scholars under the Chairman ship of Maraimalai Adigal in 1921.
( ref;Governor's Speech 23/1/2008 page 38-39).
There is no record of such a meet anywhere .
