#History/#Art thread – From my recent trip to Madurai/Tirunelveli. On Jain sites (some with a rich history dating back to at least the 3rd cent. BCE), early Pandyan rock-cut cave temples (7th-8th cent. CE) & the amazing Vettuvan koil.

Before I start on the places, the history around all this is fascinating & splits opinion. Is it apt to call the script Tamili/Tamil Brahmi? Did it develop independently in the Tamil country/come with the Jain monks from the north? Were 8,000 Jains actually impaled in Madurai?>

Dupont-Aignan s’indigne, déclare que le «confort des délinquants» est la «priorité du gouvernement», à la charge du contribuable. Rappelons qu’il s’agit de place pour des bébés et de très jeunes enfants qui ne sont pas des délinquants, sauf si on considère que c’est génétique...
