West Asian Testimonials a forged one

West Asian Testimonials a forged one
============================
List  of 17 Vel Nadu witnesses with elephant seal of Ayyan Atikal 
Zend Avesta (Paris 1771 p 178)

The web site www.849ce.org.uk gives the details of ongoing research studies being undertaken at Montfort University Leicester UK in collaboration with British Museum about the early history of the Indian ocean and its connections with other oceans .The research is based on the 9th century legal document written by one Velkula Sundiran on behalf of King Ayyan Atikal of Venadu in South India in CE 849. The document was written in ancient Jain Vatteluthu (vattezhthu) and Brahmnical Grenthaksharam of Ancient India.
Forged West Asian Group  Testimonials 
NO ELEPHANT SEAL of AYYAN ATIKAL

The study project is lead by De Montfort  University ,Leicester UK in collaboration with the British Museum and is funded by the Arts & Humanities Reserch Council of UK.A multidisciplinary team of 30 scholars from 10 different countries are collaborating with this studies .M/s M.R.Raghav varyar and Kesvan Veluthattu from Kerala are among the team.Kesavan Veluthattu made the English translation of the Venadu text. The photographs of e plates are  given by them.
It is with this legal document , the Kollam Copper Plates the multilingual plates the present holistic study is going to ground breaking exploration of the medieval Indian Ocean maritime relations are going to reveal as per the claim of the  site.

Their main base is the list of 25 Arabic, Pahlavi (Middle Persian) and Judaeo Persian (a form of Middle Persian written in Hebrew script. They claim that it gives in understanding the diverse communities from the Middle East& West who visited or settled in Kurakkeni Kollam in or around CE849. They describe   the trade associations MANIGRAMAM and ANCUVARNNAM also.
The site gives many pictures. The most important one being the WEST ASIAN group testimonial written on both sides .It is the last plate.
We are not sure whether the team made it sure that the photos are that of genuine documents. The photos does not give plate numbers or sides. It was the custom to give numbers and Tamil alphabets
One on each side of the plates as in the case of Thiruvalla plates of CE   .Moreover there is a description by Alexander Hyacinte Anquitel Perro in 1771 in his Zend Avsta that when he saw the plates they were tied with a ring and its had equal length and breadth. He saw a group of four plates tied togethrer and the last and the last one had a testimonial of Venadu witnesses with an elephant seal (of Ayyan Atikal). The writings were on inside only. There was no West Asian witness in his description.
                                                                      Zend Avesta

After reading his description on ecan arrive at a conclusion that the testimonial without elephant seal is a forged one and is not a portion of Tharisapply Copper plates.

  1. 1. THARISSAPALLI SASANAM

    Tharissapalli Sasanam was a plate issued to Persian trader Mar Sapir Esho who was a member of Balija trade guild by Venad Kiing Ayyanadikal Thiruvadikal in 849 AD. Iravikortan plate was also a plate issued to Balija alias Valanjiar.

    Valanjiar had the authority to control inland and foreign trade, collect tax and control foreigners.


    ANCHUVANNAM

    Anchuvannam and Manigramam were Balija trade guilds. Balijas in Tamilnadu and Kerala were known as Valanjiar. Venad had been divided into eighteen Valanjiams under the administration of Valanjiars.

    Foreign traders were called as Nanadesikal and their elite were made members of Manigramam. Anchuvannam is a guild of Persians, Arabs and Turks. Chuvanakar meant Arab people in ancient Tamil.

    Persian trader Mar Sapir Esho was a "Nanadesi" foreign trader who was made member of Anchuvannam and Manigramam under Balijas and elevated to the status of Lord.

    Palli in Tamil means a place of worship or Lodging or a school.


    VALANTHARAVAI THARISSAPALLI

    There were two Tharissapallis one at Kollam and another at another one at Valantharavai or Periapattinam in Ramnad district. The inscriptions recovered from Valantharavai confirms the presence of a Tharissapslli and a Jewish temple there.


    VILLAVARS AND BANAS

    Kerala and Tamilnadu were ruled by Villavars and their northern cousins were Banas. Banas ruled Karnataka, Andhra and rest of India. Chera flag displayed the Bow and arrow insignia of Villavars. Chera kings were known as Villavarkon, Makothai Nadazhwar and Panantharakan.

    Bana Balijas who descended from Mahabali had formed trade guilds throughout India. The Balija warrior traders controlled foreign trade. Balijas were also known as Five Hundred Lords of Ayyavolu. The capital of Balijas was Aihole. Badami, Kishkinda were there other centers.


    AY DYNASTY

    Venad was ruled by Ay people who were ethnically related to Ahirs of North India. When Tharissapalli plate was issued Venad was a vassal state of Chera dynasty. Ay country was ruled by Ay aristocracy called Ayvels and Villavar aristocracy called Santar. Tax collectors were Villavars, Trade and administrators were Valanjiar.


    TULU INVASION

    In 1120 AD a Buddhist Tulu prince called Banapperumal alias Banu Vikrama Kulasekharapperumal allied with Arabs attacked Kerala with a Nepali mercenary army of Nairs and occupied Malabar. Nambuthiris and Nairs were Aryan Naga clans from Ahichatra in Nepal who had been brought to Karnataka by Kadamba king Mayura Varma in 345 AD.

    Nambuthiris were Tuluva Brahmins who were the leaders of the Nair army. Banapperumal divided Malabar to his friends and relatives. Banapperumal founded matrilineal Tulu-Nepali kingdoms in which the kings were born to Tulu princes and Nambuthiris by Sambandam. Banapperumal embraced Islam and went for pilgrimage to Arabia.
    After the invasion of Malik Kafur in 1311 AD and destruction of Villavar Tamil kingdoms the matrilineal Tulu-Nepali kingdoms had occupied all Kerala with Arab and Turk support. Tulu--Nepali matrilineal Kolathiri, Samuthiri, Kochi and Venad kingdoms appeared after 1333 AD.
    Nambiadiri king of Kochi was a matrilineal Tulu-Nepali king. Matriarchy and Polyandry became common practices. The Tulu invaders talked in a Nepali mixed Malayalam and wrote it with Tulu script. Modern Malayalam is a mixture of Malayalam-Tamil with Nepali language and written with Tulu (Tigalari) script.

  2. 3. THARISSAPALLI SASANAM

    PORTUGUESE MESTIZOS

    After Portuguese came in 1498 AD mixed with the Villarvettom Tamil Christians and created a Portuguese Mestizo community who were Roman Catholics. The Roman Catholic population rose to 200,000. Portuguese used the Portuguese Mestizo soldiers to protect the alien matrilineal Tulu-Nepali Brahmin Nambiadiri dynasty of Kochi founded in 1335 AD. Tulu-Nepali dynasties were the former enemies of Villarvettom Tamils. Villavars and Panickers of Villarvettom country lost their identity by mixing with Portuguese. Portuguese and Dutch armies. Roman Catholic Liturgy was translated to Portuguese to Syriac language. Thus the Portuguese Tamil Mestizo Christians had to attend service in Syriac language which they never understood.

    PANICKERS

    Panickers belonged to a Villavar subgroup. Traditionally Panickers trained soldiers in martial arts and maintained a small army under them. Vallickada Panickers led Portuguese and Dutch armies until 1750 AD.

    Vallickada Panickers had a fort at Peringuzha and built Arakuzha church near Muvattupuzha.
    Panickers formed their own Syrian Christian sects. Vallickada Panickers were Roman Catholics but some of them had joined Orthodox Jacobite sects.
    Adangapurathu Panickers of Thiruvalla remain Roman Catholics.
    Kumbanad Panickers of Pathanamthitta joined Marthoma sect.
    Maranadu Panickers intermixed with Dutch of Thangasala also and joined protestant London Missionary Society Church.
    Mylitta Panickers formed the Syro-Malankara church.


    JESUS AS GOD

    Portuguese forced the heretic Nestorians Syrian Christians of Kerala to say "Jesus is my God and saviour and Mary is the mother of God" at the Udhayamperoor Sunnhadose" in 1599 AD.

    Thus Portuguese were the real founders of Jesus based christianity in Kerala.
