PS my blog series Part 1

Kalki's Ponniyin Selvan My blog series 1

As written in my earlier blog I wanted to write series of blog on PS as this is a story so close to my heart. This is just not about King & Kingdom and politics within but it is beyond. The Characterisations in novel was phenomenal and each character will teach something for us. I started reading this novel when i was studying 5th std in Kalki magazine  and i would have read multiple times. Even now i have hard copy of novel in my book shelf along with my other favourite books.  I pick up volume and read it whenever i feel like reading.

To start with blog let me give the character sketch on PS. I found this character sketch in Wikipedia on PS by Kalki and it depicts almost all the Characters. 

In my view  Raja Raja Cholan was the most famous king of Chola Dynasty after Karikalan and few other kings. But none of his predecessors or successors have achieved what he did during his rule 

.A few of his achievements for introduction. In subsequent blogs you may get to know more about this king his achievements, his approach etc.

1. Constructing Brihadeeshwar Temple in Tanjore which is very very unique both in terms of Architecture, beauty and size.

2. First king to create Naval fleet and spread his kingdom beyond the shores of India.  Expanded  his Kingdom through India and beyond the shores of India. Few months back there was an article on news paper that there were Chola inscriptions in China during his days and identifying Goddess Temple during his period.

3. King who taught Economics on how to manage drought period and levy of taxes without affecting citizens.

4. In sixth volume Kalki will explain his achievements 

5. while reading the novel one can understand the depth of his character and his greatness.

6. I compare this novel to two epics Ramayan and Mahabharat as it teaches a reader lot.

7. Hence subject to my time i will keep writing my blog on Kalki Ponnyin Selvan.

8. As a part of my introduction series i am giving character sketch and will start explaining each character and importance of this character in Kalki PS.
