Hi guys, I am a fan of PS too.
Recently I read Winter in Kandahaar by Steven Wilson.
The writing style )(description of the scenes) is a lot like Kalki style. Try this novel.

[LottiFurmann]

I am happy that this thread is being revived again.

Amarar Kalki´s Parthiban Kanavu followed by Sivagaamiyin Sabatham and Ponniyin Selvan could be called the 3 perum kaapiyams of our age. Even though many Saandilyan fans would disagree with me I still find Kalki´s way of writing much easier to follow and interesting. I would be happy if more hubbers would participate in this thread .

I would like to discuss about Parthiban Kanavu since it was the frist of Kalki´s Mupperum Kaapiyam.

[Raj_Copi_Jin]

As I mentioned PK was the first historical novel of Kalki. Kalki created a fantastic story with the use of fiction and fact. Going to the period of Narasimha pallava as he came back from vatapi after defeating Pulikesi the plot of the story thickens.

Parthiban the king of urayur cholas ( chola kingdom is not anymore the big one as it used to be under karikalan or killivalavan) is paying taxes to the Pallava Empire and ruling a small kingdom, which he dosen´t do with whole heart. He would like to be an independent king ruling a free chola kingdom. That is his dream. He wants to live it atleast through his son or his succesors

I would like to discuss about Parthiban Kanavu since it was the frist of Kalki´s Mupperum Kaapiyam.

Excellent idea. It is a beautiful book. The text is available online in two parts, which will make discussion easier since we can directly refer to passages:

Any one for this thread

yea.. I am here..

Read Ponniyin selvan.. top class.. out of this world..

have to read SIvagaamiyin sabatham and Paarthiban kanavu

[Peptobismol]

Hi..

Ponniyin Selvan and Sivakaamiyin Sabatham are the best historic novels I have read till date..

parthiban kanav is nice one..but not as instrestign and entertaining as the other two.


PK was first written??? i thought Pk was somewhat a squel to SS.

[Big A]

Hi Anban and Hamid

Hamid, can you please explain how you meant that PK was not so interesting as SS and PS.

[S.T.D.]

Hi Anban and Hamid

Hamid, can you please explain how you meant that PK was not so interesting as SS and PS.

Sivan,

I believe everyone agrees on this and no need to explain.. but anyway we can have it as a starting point for our disucssions.
I have seen almost everyone who has read these novels say PS and SS are the best.. PK was not mentioned like that by most.


I dont remember PK like PS or SS.. Alomst all chapters run like a scene in our mind when we read PS or SS.. but it is not the same in PK and i dont remember much of it even if I want to recollect.

Also it was not that much adventurous or love based like the other two.

Hi,
You all enjoyed the story very much. But the assassination of aditya karikalan is unfair.
May be it's the truth but I just dont like the ending.
Somebody can tell me that the story behind aditya in ps is true or imagination? Because in the real history no reasons are given for aditya's assassination.
Nandhini is a real one ?

[Drugmachine]

Hi Indumathi, welcome to this thread. The assasination of Adhitha Karikala was a real one. Two namboodhri brahmins named ravidasa and parameswaran were accused of this murder and were punished by Raja Raja 16 years after the murder. Copper plates found in Thiruvaalankaadu describes the assasination of AK.

Nandhini is a fictional character created by Kalki.

[tgs]

So, Nandhini was not ever loved by AK? But in the story , the reason behind his 'kolai' was nandhini . Why kalki made this character?

[Ifroham4]

சிவகாமி was fictional I dont think நந்தினி was fictional.

[PhillipHer]

Nandhini was a fictional character like Senthan Amudhan, poonkuzhali and aazhwaarkadiyaan.

Indumathi, according to the story, Nandhini was a very dejected person in her life. Never experienced love at any time. Her first Love AK was not there as she´needed him against the attacks of Kundhavai.

AK assasination pathi neraya theories irukku. Madhurandhaga Uthama chozhan and his mother senbiyan maa dhevi thaan pannaanga nu oru strong theroy irukku.

Ak was 12 as he fist went for war. Sevur battle la kalandhukka pona AK was considered to be a cruel and ruthless leader. Porumai illaadha restless character. Adhanaaleye avana yaarukkum pudikkaama pochu. Yaaraiyum nambaadha, madhikkaadha gunam. So most of them prefered AM than AK. Moreover, kovur thevar a sithar who was very influential with the Royal family predicted that AM will be a great king. AK never believed in such things and was angry that he was being sidetracked
