'Know your roots' series narrates the why, where and how of the Tamil People's history, from a multi disciplinary perspective, that lends a contemporary relevance to this oldest living civilization. Part 1 of the series , from episodes 1 to 51 , traced the beginning of the journey of man from out of Africa into the Indian sub-continent upto the Iron age megalithic period. We explored the formation of society, chiefdoms as well as the trade routes and advanced metallurgy exhibited in the Megalithic iron age culture of Tamil country starting around the middle of the 2nd millennium BCE . Part 2 of the series , explores the ushering in of the early history period succeeding Iron age going on to the foundation of kingdoms. We have explored the transition of the Tamil society to early historic period , including formation of polity, evolution of state society and the formation of chieftancies. We have seen how the Marutham chieftains rose to power and laid the foundation for the three kingdoms the Cheras, Cholas and Pandyas. Eventually after a few centuries the decline of the three kingdoms is set in motion on account of internecine warfare and the coming in of new ideologies. This is followed by the rise of a new alien power in parts of Tamilagam. Known as the Kalabras, the next few episodes will explore their rise and rule for almost 300 years starting from around 250 CE .
