A journey in search of the
ancestors, a look back to the bygone decade. A step towards the truths which
untold by the blue sea. Is our real history in a deep sleep? We have learned
many things from written folios. Will that become a told story one day?
Who were our real ancestors? I am not just writing down the unknown but reading
it out. I am not tying the papers together but I am trying to unknot the
knots. We can't write history but we can read it. We can't write our past
as we can't predict our future. we are merely readers sandwiched between
past and future.
This scribbling is merely an outcome of a reading about our own heard
ancestors. There may be errors as well as familiar stories in my reading. And
we might have read all these in the dusted books. I am not re-reading the red
ones. This is a journey through the read to the unread.
If we have a look at the historical folios we can come across the old and
untold stories of the age old island. It is told that King Cheraman Perumal had
ruled some island when he had come across many fabulous islands on his voyage
through the Lakshadweep Sea. Similar to this there are many other historical
events in the historical folios of Lakshadweep. The history of Lakshadweep is
considered to be begun centuries ago. There may arise some unanswered questions
in the mind of a person who reads out the historical
pages.
How did habitation come into existence in the scattered islands of Arabian sea?
From where did the roots of the islanders originate? The language of each
island is different from the other. Which is the origin of these languages?
Here remain many unanswered questions.
