While adding index to Chapter 11 #Vedic #Courts in Tamil Nadu, the Land of Vedas (#TTLV) authored by my father Dr. #Nagaswamy, I came across this fantastic reference that Appa quotes "Ancient Hindu Judicature" authored by G.R. Rao in the year 1920.

what to do? with sanghi boys around congressi brahminism of the past becomes something that is universally upheld as inclusive and most importantly as "legitimate history".. Ponniyin Selvan and the uncritical celebration of the brahmin man's imagination of #Chola history
Ponniyin Selvan is ultimately the imagination of Chola history by a brahmin man,who equally was an elite cultural nationalist- just like other brahmins who shaped ideas around CLASS-ical dance,music, literature of INDIA. Till date we celebrate this problematic work :/
And who &what is instrumental in bringing the brahmin man's imagination on big screen?It is again the same power structures that allowed us to celebrate ponniyin selvan as the greatest tamil novel. Brahmins&brahminism shaping ideas on history,culture, cinema continues in 2022
The scholar who rediscovered ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ Raja Raja #Chola.
As #PonniyinSelvan1 hits the screens tomorrow, this might seem hard to believe: There was a time not too long ago when no one knew who Raja Raja was.

People were not even aware just around 115 years ago that Raja Raja was responsible for building the big temple in Thanjavur in the early 11th century.
Some believed it was the Sangam age ruler Karikala Chola, who lived around 1,000 years earlier, who built it.

It took the epigraphist and historian Venkayya to rediscover Raja Raja based on the inscriptions in the Thanjavur temple.
