Gingee or Senji has a long history since 200 BC and over the years had been invaled and ruled by many dominant kingdoms. However, the one name that invariably crops up at any mention of Senji is that of Raja Desingu, who ruled the kingdom, albeit for a short period, with sagacity and valour in the 18th century. Over the years, the saga of Raja Desingu has been become an enduring and endearing part of Tamil folklore. Countless ballads, stories, puppet shows, dance, stage and street shows have been inspired by the tragic tale of this brave hero of Senji.
Adapted as a movie in 1936 by Rajeswari Talkies and was directed by Raja Chandrasekhar. The lead actors were T. K. Sundarappa, V. S. Mani, M. Lakshmi and K. R. Saradambal. The lyrics by Madurai Baskaradoss and music by M. Baluswami.

“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
