Rewriting the past
CHENNAI: Blood, deceit, revenge and a promise to a dying father — all outline the seventh-century battle that cemented the glory of South Indian rulers for centuries to come. “I write history in fiction, Arun writes history as fiction and Chithra’s work is history set in stone,” said Shreekumar. In 2011, Arun read Amish’s Immortals of Meluha and found himself inspired to do justice to stories from south India. He felt compelled to correct the myths regarding south India’s past and was particularly drawn to the life of Immadi Pulikeshi. South Indian history remains largely neglected.”

Incomplete knowledge of Stonehenge has turned it into a riddle that is now part of its identity. Others view Stonehenge as a place of healing, a kind of prehistoric Lourdes, which hosted hordes of pilgrims. “Stonehenge was an important place that people went to, to be together as a community,” said Neil Wilkin, the exhibition’s lead curator. The sarsen stones were pounded into shape by circular hammerstones, several examples of which were recently discovered and are on show in an exhibition vitrine. Nor did the people of prehistoric England leave any representations of human figures, said Wilkin, the lead curator of the exhibition.
