The Chronology of the Early Tamils by K.N. Sivaraja Pillai is a seminal work that reconstructs the timeline of early Tamil history using synchronistic tables based on kings chieftains and poets referenced in Sangam literature.

With remarkable precision the author differentiates historical facts from traditional myths offering a compelling narrative of Tamil dynasties—Chola Pandya and Chera—and their cultural and political evolution. It is an indispensable reference for historians linguists and students of South Indian heritage.
