Time Machine

A good response balasri, but I beg to differ with you on Kattabomman. Kattabomman was a telugu naicker whose real name was Kattabommalu. He was just a small chieftain in the erstwhile Tirunelveli district. Our people made him a Tamil hero, because there was a shortage of Tamil freedom fighters, and Tamils were the lackeys of the British(Kindly note that I am also a pure Tamilian). I do not know much about Marudu brothers, but Kattabomman was not a Hero,like what he was portrayed in the films.
Thanks for the response.

You have every right to differ friend.But I do not think that you just cannot brush off a person that simply because his origin is Telugu.I do not have to remind you of EVRamasamy Naiker and Maruthur Ramachandramenon (MGR) who lived and died as Tamil more than the so called Tamils.
I just wanted to go back to find the true Kattabomman regardless of place of Origin.Meanwhile could you please refer this link and read what Major John Bannerman who hung Kattabomman has to say about this Hero.

Kattabomman faced the last moments of his life in a way becoming of a rebel leader. Major John Bannerman writes to the Madras Government, 17 October, 1799, thus: 'it may not be amiss here to observe that the manner and behaviour of the Poligar during the whole time of his being before those who were assembled yesterday at the examination, which took place were undaunted and supercilious. He frequently eyed the Etiapore Poligar (Poligar of Ettayapuram), who had been so active in attempting to secure his person, and the poligar of Shevighergy with an appearance of indignant contempt and when he went out to be executed, he walked with a firm and daring air and cast looks of sullen contempt on the poligars to his right and left as he passed..."

Kindly note that I am not degrading Kattabomman just because he is a telugu. My main point is, he has been made as a Tamil Hero, which he was not because of his mother tongue, second he had an understanding with the French, and when they were not able to help him, he talked peace with the British, and he was paying the taxes and because of his Chief Commanders wrong deeds he had to once again fight against the Nawab of Arcot, where he was defeated. This is one of the information I have got from my father, who was very interested in Tamil History. We had a lot of old books, from where I got this information.
If you read those books, you will understand that except for a few people, most of the Indians were colloborating with the British, and people particularly in South India were not much averse to British Rule.
This is a bitter truth, which we have accept, because there were no real heroes in S.India like Netahaji S.C.Bose, Mahathma Gandhi, Vallabhai Patel, Pandit Nehru or Maulana Azad.
We had only the Justice party which was a stooge of the British or people like Sir C.P.Ramaswamy Iyer, who was the uncrowned King of Travancore.I will be very happy to know more about Kattabomman as well as other Tamil Heroes who fought the British.
I would once again, like to mention that I am not degrading anybody, but just writing in anguish about our people.

Your response is quite interesting.I am curious to know th name of the books that can substantiate that this Kattabomman's connivance with the French and his figting with the Nawab of Arcot.I am always like to go into the mysteries of the histories which were written in a biased manner.It is a pity that there are so many interpretaions of history particularly the Tamilians.

And thanks a lot for the BR.

Quite right Pose123, it is not right on anybodys part to change History. As you have rightly mentioned, one is inter connected to another, and to change one thing might lead to a calamity.
Thanks for the response.

Just watch the movie Back to the Future I,II, and III. Your thinking and what is happening in that movie is the same.

Nice thought. So you only want to go to the past. Why dont you want to see the future, dont you want to see what you children are doing and how is India say after 50 to 75 years?
Thanks for responding.
