Kadal Pura (Tamil: கடல் புறா, lit. Sea Pigeon) is a Tamil language historical novel written by Sandilyan. The story is based on the ancient Tamil Chola dynasty. It was named after the fictional ship built by the Chola Commander Illayapallavan (a) Karunaagara Pallavan, who later became King Thondaiman. The novel is about the Chola kingdom's invasion of Srivijaya (modern-day Malaysia and Singapore) and Kalinga (currently the state of Orissa). It's a work of fiction with a few historical characters thrown in anachronistically (example, Aguda was born in 1068, but appears in the novel as a 25-year-old).

Dr L. Kailasam continuing the story in his Victimology based Novel Rajali, and the historical characters of Kadal Pura appeared in RAJALI in their old ages.

gollark: I assume it's probably something like "do evilness to one of the servers to force people to the other one".

gollark: I can guess *approximately* what the idea is.

gollark: This *would* disincentivize future mentioning of ideas, and do we really want that?

gollark: I think we need ubq for that.
