Hidden Tamizh places in Pakistan and Afghanistan - Part 2 !!

In continuation from the previous part of this post,

https://divinediyaas.blogspot.com/2021/05/ancient-tamizh-places-in-pakistan-and-afghanistan-part1.html

             The royal palaces, forts, temples, houses and architectures are historical evidences of a king, who had ruled that region. These ancient places and buildings of Tamil kings were destroyed in Pakistan and Afghanistan, to burry the truth. But, the truth can be hidden / suppressed only for a period of time, it will come out eventually with a big bang.  

         In addition to these destroyed architectures, there are many facts to validate and to prove the authenticity of Tamil kings and people who had lived over there. 

 For example: Names - i.e Place names in these regions. 

        Pakistan and Afghanistan people speak Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu. They don't speak Tamil, then how come there are so many places in these regions that were named in Tamil ? That too, they were named with appropriate tamil meaning of that place....

        Though the temples and buildings were demolished, the Place names haven't changed much over the period of time. This is one of the strong point to prove that these regions were once ruled by tamil kings. 

        I have mentioned about some of the Tamil places in Pakistan in my previous post. In this post, will explain about other Tamil places in Pakistan and Afghanistan... 

1. Mount Sikaram:

        There is a mountain in Pakistan called 'Mount Sikaram'. Check the below picture for reference. 

        In tamil, Sikaram - means peak. Why this has to be named in tamil, with the appropriate tamil meaning as mountain peak?

In the below picture, thee river tributary regions are called as 'Kotkai' and 'Madikai'. The suffix itself is clear that it is derived from 'Tamil'. Kotkai and Madikai  are ancient tamil names... 

       

2. Kotkai - is transformed name of 'Korkai', the ancient port city of Pandya kings of Tamizhakam.

3. Madikai - The root word of this is, 'Madai' - means small sluice of a canal or stream. Side Sluice of a channel. There is a place in Kerala with the same name Madikai.

     

 

What is Ghalanai ? I have raised this question in my previous post. Here I have answer for that.. Check the below picture...

 Ghalani and Utmanzai are tamil places. Let us see about it's original name.

4. Ghalanai 

Ghalanai is derived from the word Kallanai.  Instead of 'Ka', they changed used 'Gha' and changed the name.

        Kallanai is a 2000 years old stone dam which was built by the great tamil king Karikalan Cholan. Similarly, this place in Pakistan was named as Ghalanai, to store water for agriculture. In later period of time, the dams were destroyed in Pakistan, but the name wasn't changed...

Kallanai Dam

        This 2000 years old dam is still in use in Trichy, Tamil Nadu. For more information about Kallanai dam, reach out to the below post,

https://divinediyaas.blogspot.com/2019/10/grand-anicut-kallanai-oldest-barrage-in.html

5. Utmanzai - is named after the place Uthumalai. It is a place in Tenkasi district of Tamil nadu and it's notably a birth place of many kings. 

6. Korkay - a place in Afghanistan. It is named after the Pandya's famous and busy port 'Korkai' in Tamizhakam.

        Korkai is famous for pearl fishing and it also mentioned in ancient tamil sangam literatures. Korkai served as one of the major port in the eastern side of Thamizhakam.

If Pandya's didn't rule these places, then why was it named as 'Korkay' in Afghanistan? 

        The glory and history of ancient tamil kings were continuously suppressed and the artefacts, forts, palaces of early tamil kings were completely destroyed. In some regions, these buildings are converted into Mughal palaces using their art form as a cover.

7. Kamber Darbar in Pakistan: 

        Who is Kamber ? Kambar is a great tamil poet. There is a saying in tamil that 'Kambar vetu kattu thariyum kavi padum', meaning even a charcoal in Kambar's house will sing a poem.

Why this place has to be named in tamil as 'Kamber'. Only in Tamil language, the suffix 'er' /'ar' is used. This suffix is used while addressing a person with respect.

Example: Sage Agastya is called as 'AgathiyAR' in tamil. The 'ar' suffix is used mention all the elderly or great people.

So, the name Kamber is a proper tamil name and it was named after the Tamil poet Kambar, to honour his service.

8. Chelozai :

        Chelozai is a place in Afghanistan, check the below picture for reference. It is a modified from the word Chozha. Chola / Chozha kings of tamilakam had ruled Afghanistan after the rule of Pandya kings. 

If it's hard to believe, then check the next place, 'Barki Rajan'

9. Barki Rajan :

        Look at the suffix Rajan. In Urdu and Hindi, the term 'Rajan' is not used. They used to say 'Raj' / 'Raja', not 'RAJAN'. Rajan is a proper tamil name. In fact, the famous Chola king, Raja Raja Chozhan was also called as 'Raja Rajan'. 

The first name 'Barki' is a modified name of a tamil king with the unchanged suffix 'Rajan', together called as 'Barki Rajan'. This place Barki Rajan was originally under the control of Chola kings and it was named after them. 

            Thus, the above mentioned place, 'Chelozai' and Barki Rajan are the tamil places, which were ruled by great Chola kings...

Pandeh:

        Pandeh in the above picture, represents Pandya king. Not, only this places, there are many places in Afghanistan which were named after Pandya kings of Tamizhakam, such as 'Panti', 'Pandi', 'Pandi nadu' etc...

Pandy -  a place near Indus River.  If Pandya kings hadn't ruled these regions, then why it has to be named after them?

Scholars have identified many tamil places in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Check out the below picture for reference...

There are ruins of Lord shiva temples in Afghanistan and archaeologists are unearthing many hindu god idols in Pakistan. 

        The history of ancient Tamils were destroyed by the foreign invaders and the ancient libraries were burned. Sumerians, Arabic, Mayan, Meso, Persian, Turkish people etc are strongly believed to be originated from Tamil society.

        But, currently, all the history books are projecting that the records of tamil people were confined only to Tamil Nadu. This blog will change this view and I will unveil the truth of tamizhakam, the glory of great tamil kings and their expanded territories....

Not only about tamizhakam, I will also uncover the architectural wonders, temples, Astronomy, their scientific methods, hidden secrets, medicines, treatments, Vimanas, ancient technologies and lifestyle of people in Akand Bharath....

Kumari Kandam - Part 4 (Expansion across Eastern and Western side of Bharat)

Lost History of Ancient Tamizh people - Expansion of Pandyas across India

        From the last parts of Kumari Kandam, it is evident that Pandyan King Satyavrata headed as Vaivasvata Manu with the help of Matsya Avatar of Lord Vishnu and Adisesha. Saptarishis were also migrated with the King to the Bharata Kandam. This post is going to prove that Aryan Invasion theory is a myth and people weren't migrated from North to South and it was vice versa. 

         From Kumari Kandam, when Kapatapuram / Kavadapuram was in danger and slowly facing destruction due to numerous mega tsunamis, some of the Pandya kings has migrated towards Eastern side of Bharat and reached West Bengal, Odisha and Bangladesh. Pandyas has ruled West bengal before the start of Treta Yuga and from there they have slowly occupied from Eastern side to Northern side of India. 

In Tamil, Bay of Bengal is called as 'Vanga Kadal', 

Kadal means - Ocean and 

Vanga has several meanings - Gigantic Ship, White, Pure. Here it refers to white ocean.

        As West Bengal was the prominent port city of Pandyas, they have named it as 'Vanga'. Here, Vanga meaning 'Ship', that were sailing through the white ocean 'Vanga Kadal'. This is indicating that there were huge volumes of maritime trade that has happened several thousand years ago.

        So, in Tamil they have named West Bengal as 'Vanga Desam' and the people who lived there were called as Vanga tribes. Before the period of Mahabharata, this place was named as Vanga and in that epic Kunti's son Karna has ruled Vanga and Anga during his reign.

        In recent times, V was interchanged into B and it's then called as 'Bengal'. The word 'Vanga' was also mentioned in Tamil Sangam literatures, Pura Nanoru and Andal's Thirupaavai. The seafaring vessels were called as 'Vangam'. Also, there is bird species called as 'Vangaa' mentioned in Tamil verses, which are found only in Madagascar and it's islands. 

         'Vanga' was then transformed as 'Bengal' during the reign of Britishers.  Also, Pandyas have named their capital as 'Tamralipti',  referring to 'Tamaraparani' River which was flowing in Kumari Kandam. This river is still actively flowing now in Tamil Nadu, but it has changed its course of direction in the last 2000 years.

        Early Pandya Kings have named many places in Tamil in West Bengal, Odisha, Maharastra, Karnataka, Goa, Nepal, Assam etc... How can it be Pandyas ? Weren't they Cholas / Cheras / Pallava Kings ? 

     Here you go !! In memory of their mother land, some of the famous cities of Kumari Kandam has been used to name the places in West Bengal, Odisha, Maharastra, Nepal, Assam. In this course of 7000 years, many of those names were forgotten, some names got changed and some names are still in use. 

         In Kumari Kandam, there were two main notable rivers, which were Parali and Kumari Rivers, also there was a famous Kumari mountain at the south of Kumari Kandam.

     The same river and mountain names can be found in West Bengal and Odisha. There is a famous TaraTarini temple situated at the Kumari Hills of Odisha. Kumari is a proper Tamizh name.

        Cholas and Cheras haven't seen or ruled Kumari Kandam, Pallavas were later kings in the history of Tamil Nadu. So, this was named by early pandya king.

Also, near to this temple, there is village named 'Kurunjipur'. What is the meaning of Kurunjipur ?? Kurunji is a Tamil word. According to Tamil Sangam literatures, geographical landscapes were divided into 5 categories 

1. Kurunji - Mountains and it's associated regions, 
2. Mullai - Forests and it's associated regions, 
3. Marudham - Agriculture and crop lands, 
4. Neidhal - Sea shore and coastal areas
5. Pallai - Desert area. 

    There is also a place named 'Kurunji' in Maharastra, which is near Mahabaleshwar and there is also a place with same name in Kerala as well.  The famous Shri Vaijnath Shiva Temple in Maharastra is situated at the place called Parli (Parali River of Kumari kandam). It is an ancient Shiva Temple.

River Kumari flowing in the Purulia district of West Bengal. 

Kumari River

      Also, there is a proto historic civilization discovered at the valley of Ajay, Kunoor and Kopai at West Bengal. Kunoor , Kopai ?? These are Tamil names. Kopai means cup, Kunoor - place in Tamil Nadu near Ooty. 

        Pandu Rajar Dhibi is an archealogical site at West Bengal, which is dated as chalcolithic site near the banks of Ajay and Kopai rivers.  Pandu Rajar is not Pandu of Mahabharata, it's Pandya Raja of Early pandya, because the remains from that place were dated aback to Chalcolithic age. Early Pandyas were dated corresponding to Satya Yuga and Treta Yuga.

        Also scholars mentions that excavation from Pandu Rajar Dhibi reveals that it has connection to Crete and Mediterranean lands and they were sea explorers. In my previous posts, i have mentioned that early Pandyas were the First sea explorers and they followed the direction of sea turtles for the navigation. Pandya kingdom had the First and Strong Navy Force, to explore and to expand their Rajya. 

        Early Pandyas and Tamizh people were migrated to the Eastern side of Akand Bharat. Once, there was a famous and powerful Pandya king named 'Kulasekhara Pandyan'. He had ruled the entire South India and Eastern side of India (Not to confuse with the later pandya king in the same name). There are many places in India which were named after him.

        Like Kanya Kumari in Tamil Nadu, there are also some places where Kumari is being worshiped. In Nepal there is place called as 'Kumari Temple'. Kumari is a Tamil name. In Nepal, now the practice of worshipping Kumari were subjected to change by the conquest of many Mughal rulers and Britishers.

Kumarikata place in Assam

     In Nepal, there are also places called 'KumarKhod', 'Kumari' etc. There is a holy river called 'Kankai' river flowing through Nepal, it's also called as golden river. In Tamil, 'Kanaka' means - Gold, there is flower named 'Kanakambaram' meaning Golden fire flower, which grows only in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

     Pandya Kings have also spread across eastern side of Bharat and ruled Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. There are many places in Eastern side of India named in Tamil. Also, they have expanded their kingdom in all sides of India. (Separate post will be published for the same).

In the map below, Kaptai name was given to a place and lake in Bangladesh. It was named in memory of 'Kapatapuram', in short it was called as 'Pandya Kavada / Kapata' as per Chanakya's Arthasastra.

Madaripur - present day Madurai in Tamil Nadu, which served as capital of Pandyas

Kawadi - Kavada / Kavadapuram, which was a port city of Pandyas. Pearls from this place were pure and priced highly.

Places in Maharastra

Nerur - meaning water place. 'Ner' meaning water in tamil, 'or' / 'ur' meaning place in Tamil. 

Kavathi - Kavadapuram

Parule - Paruli river of Kumari kandam 

Places in Goa

Sanguem - refers to Sangam of Tamil Nadu. In this district, there are ancient petroglyphs of 20,000 years old were identified at Usgalimal. Currently, it us under the ASI.

There are engravings of Bull (Symbol and flag of Pandyas), labyrinths and human figures on laterite stone at that site. 

        During the reign of early Pandyas, these places such as Madurai, Kavadapuram / Kapatapuram, Kavadai, Korkai, Kayalpatinam, Adichanallur, Kudal / koodal, Kanya kumari etc were prospered with great wealth and much fame.

Kayalpada in Odisha - Kayalpattinam in Tamil Nadu. In Tamil, Kayal means - Fish, Carp type fish, 

Pattinam  means - City

        Chinese traveler Xuangzang mentions about a kingdom further south from Kanchipuram, a kingdom named 'Malakutta', identified with Madurai of Tamil Nadu.

Also Madure in Karnataka

    Not only these places, Tamil Pandyas has ruled many places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sindhu province, Iran and Turkey. 

        

        The Indus Valley Civilization was FIRST ruled by Early Pandya Kings and it was flourished during their reign. There were no ARYAN INVASION happened, it was Tamizh Pandya Kings who ruled the entire Akhand Bharat and all around the World. The language and the inscriptions of Indus valley civilization is still not deciphered and linguists are relating it to Proto - Dravidian language, the early form of Dravidian language, in short the early form of Tamizh, which is also called as 'Tamizhi'. The ancient Indus Valley Civilization and it's Truth about Tamizh Pandya Kings will be explained in my next post.

 
       Another set of Pandyas from Kumari Kandam didn't migrate towards India, they have traveled towards Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia and expanded their kingdom. It will be explored more in the subsequent parts of Kumari Kandam.
