The Chronology of the Early Tamils by K.N. Sivaraja Pillai is a seminal work that reconstructs the timeline of early Tamil history using synchronistic tables based on kings, chieftains, and poets referenced in Sangam literature. First published in the early 20th century and now republished by Salmon Books, this authoritative text serves as a pioneering attempt to systematize Tamil chronology through rigorous literary analysis. With remarkable precision, the author differentiates historical facts from traditional myths, offering a compelling narrative of Tamil dynasties-Chola, Pandya, and Chera-and their cultural and political evolution. It is an indispensable reference for historians, linguists, and students of South Indian heritage.
