1000 years of Ascending the Throne- Remembering the King

[Echo_419]

It's really sad he is supposed to be one of the greatest kings in Tamil History.I guess they are too busy preparing paperwork for Jaya

Apparently not bigger than Jaya
On topic Sad that such a great son of India is being ignored by that state govt

Don't ruin the circle jerk event.Reality is a hard mistress

Says the wannabe Chinese on the wrong side of the border LOL

Sheesh.. They teach you those in Madrassas..??
I usually marvel at the thoughts of Islam relieving a person from Caste discrimination... It led to a different kind of discrimination.. Original muslims vs converts... Converts were at the bottomest of the order that was present for Muslims.. They were not allowed to marry turks or Arabs or Afghans.. Even now, in India, Muslims marry as per their castes...

From where you got this ? as much as i know mix marriages are common in Indian Muslims. As Indian Muslims are from different backgrounds.

Another comedian here..
Welcome..

The Chola's and the Pandya's did conquer parts of Ceylon from time to time.. But not the whole island, Only the North and North central Parts.. They could never penetrate the South and the South West of the island, Hence the Sinhalese regained the country every time after regrouping..

The map that was posted (Not by you)is highly misleading

He did not find it anywhere but he he needs to rationalize his own low caste as saying superior religion like Islam advocates castism which is false. LOL

In all the universal religions , equality is advocated.

Actually what you said was true.. Full Lanka was under the control of Tamil Kings only for about 70 years.. During Rajendra Period.. They fought back and established themselves in the south of Lanka after the reign of Rajendra..

Please pardon my jumping into the topic but am asking since you seem to be an expert in south Indian history sir.

Are Sri Lankans (the non Tamilian Sinhalese) descendants of what we called Asuras of ancient times? Same as Rakshasas?

What were they before the advent of Buddhism? Were they also Hindu?

These descendants of Asuras things were a creation of North Indian Chauvnist during the early 20th century.. There is nothing like that.. They were Hindus though..
Even Ravana is not mentioned as a demon or asura. He was a Brahman king, who wanted to conquer the world..

Both suras and asuras were deities as much as i have read.

Present day Sri Lankans and South Indians are people of the same stock.

So basically Lord Ram fought against the Tamil people?

Sri Lankans are not homogeneous.. Unlike India intermarriage is quite common among different ethnic groups.. Some have Eastern/Bengali genetics, Some South Indian, Some North African and Middle Eastern, Some Northern European and Some from the Malay peninsular and Java

So you cant say Sri Lankans and South Indians are from a same stock.. Sri Lankans of Tamil origin and Sri Lankan Malayalee's would fit that definition but not the rest

Lord Rama fought against injustice. That was not about Tamil People. Ravana brother joined Lord Rama.

So basically Lord Ram fought against the Tamil people?

Lord Ram faught against the Rakshak (Srilankans) along with ally Monkey (Tamil people).

Srilankan = Rakshak
South Indian dark skinned people = Monkey
North Indian kings like Ram = God.


Thats how it is written in the scripture.

I know this for a fact that the Senas of Bengal claimed to be Chandravanshis and had some ties (most probably through matrimony)with the royal family of Karnataka.Now whether the then Royals of Karnataka had any link with the Cholas in turn I do not know.Someone could throw some light on that.It's also a well known fact that it's the Senas who had invited Brahmins and Kshatriyas from Kannauj for the second time after Adisura and got them settled in the Rarh region with focus on restitution of the Kuleen pratha.
