V. Kanakasabhai - Kumari Kandam

Kumari Kandam

From 1895 onwards, Kanakasabhai published a series of articles in the Madras Review about a long submerged land that lay to the south of Cape Comorin. These theories of his were based on ancient Tamil and Buddhist sources. These papers were subsequently published in his book The Tamils Eighteen Hundred Years Ago.

Three years later, in an editorial in the Siddhanta Deepika, Nallaswami Pillai hinted that Lemuria was the long lost land of Kumari Kandam.
