Hi Manoj,
Before calling currently popular history as wrong, why can't you provide some evidences against kattabomman? If you read Pirabanjan's book on "Maanudam Vellum' and "Vaanam vasapadum", you can understand most of the histories of early rulers of Tamil Nadu were exagrated and wrong. Most of them were cruel when it comes to the people outside their province. Common people were suffering lot due to ruthless fightings out of self centered wishes of rulers.

I agree, we don't have the history of many famous (assumed) rulers in the eyes of common man and most of them exaggerated according to the own prefernces of historians. As I requested you already, provide some evidence. I will support you, if you are correct. Till that time, let me believe what folklores present (not the historians).

As I explained, the line is very thin. For example, the Kashmiri Jihadis, LTTE or PLO or Naxalbaris or IRA may be terrorists in most of our prejudiced view but they may be freedom fighters from their people point of view. So, definition changes based on which side you stand and the history of such movement projected to people by each side changes. In order to understand the true history we need some unbiased opinions form third parties. Do you have any proofs from such independent source? If we don't have proofs from third party, the next preferred proof is the sayings of common man.

I have heard about the book by Thamizhvanan titled “kattabomman kollaikaran” during my school days. But I didn’t have much interest to read his book because of his master of jackal traits (assumed to be written books on any subject on earth) and particularly after reading some of his books. I hope you may not quote his book alone.

So till I get some authentic proof, let me believe the sayings of common man.

Can you please give some authentic proof?
