There is no social commentary in PS - political, definitely. Same way apart from (the future) war in Kalinga and Kulothungan's visit to kadaaram when he was still a prince everything in KP is fiction. PS? Apart from the fact of Aditha Karikalan's death everything else is fictional in PS. I would love to hear comments from other people who have read both the books.ĭuh?!! What do you mean none of the events had a historical basis in KP vs. with a lot of vivid imagination thrown in to boot. It discussed the political/social situation in the country. Ponniyin Selvan on the other hand was a joy to read. It almost seemed at times like it was a Rajnikanth movie with its larger than life hero Karunakara Pallavan doing amazing deeds. Although, the setting was historical and a couple of main characters were, almost none of the events had any historical basis. Sadly, Kadal pura was a huge disappointment in those terms. Moreover, it also ought to comment upon the social melieu of those times. I think I would have to disagree.Ī historical novel is one which not only is set in historical times but also is built upon a series of historical events. ![]() ![]() Someone on this forum recommended Kadal Pura as a great historical novel. I just finished "Kadal Pura" by Sandilyan and wanted to get some views on what others think of it. ![]() Topic started by AK ) on Wed Nov 7 04:10:16.
