India’s Best-Kept Secret: The Sarasvati Mahal* IIC has a very special place in my heart because when I was a student in JNU in 1996-98, almost every Friday or Saturday I used to come here and listen to lectures or concerts. Those two years made me understand our heritage not just from an artistic point of view but also from a cross-disciplinary point of view, bringing my academic learning in JNU and my understanding of culture here together. Although I must confess that I had never thought when I sat here as a member of the audience that I would actually one day come up here and speak. I gave a very provocative title to this lecture about the Thanjavur Maharaja Serfoji’s Sarasvati Mahal Library partly for raising your curiosity but as I list some of its treasures, you will understand how perfectly apt it is that I should call it India’s best-kept secret. In my hands is a classic example of the proverb that asks us not to judge a book by the covers.

    I - M.A. HISTORY Code No. 18KP1HO3 SOCIO – ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF TAMILNADU FROM SANGAM AGE TO 1800 C.E. UNIT – I Sources The Literay Sources Sangam Period The consisted, of Tolkappiyam a Tamil grammar work, eight Anthologies (Ettutogai), the ten poems (Padinen kell kanakku ) the twin epics, Silappadikaram and Manimekalai and other poems. The sangam works dealt with the aharm and puram life of the people. To collect various information regarding politics, society, religion and economy of the sangam period, these works are useful. The sangam works were secular in character. Kallabhra period The religious works such as Tamil Navalar Charital,Periyapuranam and Yapperumkalam were religious oriented, they served little purpose. Pallava Period Devaram, written by Apper, simdarar and Sambandar gave references tot eh socio economic and the religious activities of the Pallava age. The religious oriented Nalayira Tivya Prabandam also provided materials to know the relation of the Pallavas with the contemporary rulers of South India. The Nandikkalambakam of Nandivarman III and Bharatavenba of Perumdevanar give a clear account of the political activities of Nandivarman III. The early pandya period Limited Tamil sources are available for the study of the early Pandyas. The Pandikkovai, the Periyapuranam, the Divya Suri Carita and the Guruparamparai throw light on the study of the Pandyas. The Chola Period The chola empire under Vijayalaya and his successors witnessed one of the progressive periods of literary and religious revival in south India The works of South Indian Vishnavism arranged by Nambi Andar Nambi provide amble information about the domination of Hindu religion in south India.

STUDY AREA sediment from Arasalar river mouth (ARM North and Arasalar River in Karaikal union territory is located at the latitude 10̊54’52’N Longitude 79̊51’09’’E. The Cauvery ARM South) in Karaikal region of Pondicherry Union River; located in the delta between the Cauvery and forms territory and Southern part of Tamil Nadu have been many tributaries. Arasalar River forms a tributary of carried to using the textural parameters. The samples Cauvery at Papanasam, near Kumbakonam. Geologically were processed and sieved following standard the study area comprises of Coastal alluvial soil. The procedures. Textural parameter like mean, standard Karaikal area is completely covered by a thick mantle of deviation, skewness and kurtosis are calculated using alluvium and no exposures are met. The major part of the standard methods to understand the transportation study area is covered by black clay soils (matured) as per the classification of soil survey and land use shown an and the depositional environment of the sediments. isolated patch of brown clay loam soil in the area Statistical parameters revealed that sediments are bordering the north-western boundary of the Karaikal dominant in fine sand category, moderately well sorted, region.
