Padmavathy, The Queen Of Chitoor Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar
Padmavathy, The Queen Of Chitoor
The tale about Padmavathiof Chitoor
Has no base of historical evidence.
She is glorified for her chastity
And self immolation in defiance.
The tale of Kannaki of Poompukar
Has no historical events to back.
She is personified for chastity
And retaliation against misjudgment.
The epic around Seeta of Ayodhya
Has only mythological referances.
She is epitomized for her fast virtue
And staunch resistance to guard chastity.
Padmavath is the pride of Rajputs.
Kannaki is the pride of the Tamils.
Seta is the pride of most of Hindus.
All the three heroines are goddess equal.
There are many versions of these fictions.
All versions uphold woman's purity.
The Hindi film Padmavathy must follow suit.
To stall its release by some is immature

Padmavath is the pride of Rajputs. Kannaki is the pride of the Tamils. Seta is the pride of most of Hindus. All the three heroines are goddess equal... . yes sir, so true. It is a beautiful historical poem that glorifies the chastity and purity of three women. Haunting expression. Thank you dear Chettiar for nice sharing.
