I started re-reading Ponniyin Selvan about a week back. (seem to find only about 30 mins a day, so its going to take me a while to finish the book). What was interesting though was a short "introduction" about "PALLIPPADAI"s by Kalki. Does anyone have any other information on existing Pallippadai's in tamizh nadu? If this information has already been discussed, please accept my apologies.
