Bharatha Vamsavali

“Nation Bharath is a grand old country, you are its progeny, forget not”. - Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathi. This small attempt at a book is to research and narrate the historical significance of the Tamil kingdoms (Chera, Chola, and Pandya), the Ikshvaku kings of the Surya vamsa (kula) and the clan of the Chandra vamsa who migrated from the southern hemisphere to the northern, from a local Indian perspective. It also tries to record the history of Tamil Nadu beyond the last Sangam age and the visionaries who contributed to Indian thought and the post-Indian independence struggle.
