NATIONAL POST DAY 10TH OCTOBER
Dr Sunitha Madhavan
The private papers of Dr Sunitha Madhavan, the great granddaughter of Rai Bahadur V. Venkayya, the renowned epigraphist to the Government of India, 1908-12 when Sir John. H. Marshall was the Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India [A.S.I.], which she was kind enough to give SPARROW, contain some very interesting exchange of letters and among them are letters between her grandmother Thaiyalnayaki and her grandfather Advocate Balaraman. We have given here the letters of Thaiyalnayaki with a commentary by Dr Sunitha Madhavan. We have missed the World Letter Writing Day on September 1st but would like to post these letters which reveal so much about life and times of women in the family in the Tamil region, in the early twenties, on National Post Day (October 10th).
