Visu,
Are you trying to say that PS is fictious and all Chandilyan's stories are true?
There is difference between history & historical novel.When a reader can't distinguish between history & imagination ,in a novel,there lies the greatness of that author.Kalki has it!
In Yavana Rani,very few are the historic characters.Same with KadalPura.
We can ask even a child to read Ps.But not chandilyan's works.Ps has some moral characters,like Arul Mozhi Varmar.But any such characters can't be found in Chandilyan's.
One more thing,Maniam &Maniamselvam gained fame due to PS and not that PS is incomplete without them.
