Centuries later, famous Tamil writer, 'Kalki' (R.Krishnamurthy) chronicled yet another revenge theme in his historical novel, 'Sivakamiyan sabatham' (The Oath of Sivakami) where king Mahendra Pallavan's neglected armed forces could not withstand the rampaging hordes of the Chalukya king, Pulakesi.
Prince Narasimha Pallavan (also known as Mamallar) swore revenge particularly after Pulakesi forced dancer Sivakami who was in love with the Prince to dance in the public square.
These and many other episodes from Tamil history find a ready echo in the hearts of the people of Tamil Nadu who would rather starve but not give up the belief that their language and culture were the best in the country.
