Hii all,
i was attracted more by SANDILYAN than by KALKI because he scripts with real history while KALKI add his own stories with the history to make the story intresting.
We can see them clearly because NANDHINI is an imaginary character who has captured everyone's heart but thats the fact. Those who read History apart from stories can learn it. Similalry SIVAGAMI in SIVAMIYIN SABATHAM, who is also an imaginary character. Kalki ties the story with those imaginary characters only and if they were absent the story lack its thread.
But SANDILYAN narrates the history with historical heroes. Karunakara Pallavan (Thondaimaan) is a historical character and everyone knew about KULOTHUNGA CHOLAN who had been even to CHINA as an embassy of CHOLA kingdom. Then in YAVANNA RANI, KARIKALAN lost his reign to his kin and got back the kingdom at venniparanthali war and so only built GRAND ANNAICUT(KALLANAI), its all the fact that story is not built with imaginary characters.
Another thing everyone has said is 'sex', i accept youngsters should not be given Sandilyan's book. But his works as Seran magal, Yavana Rani, Kadal purra and few other has portrayed heroines not through sex.

KALKI is the outstanding author in historical by his thoughts and imaginations blended with history. He gives the history of cholas in PS.
but he should have narrated with historical character itself and not with imaginary characters.
