"Giritharan
has the principal qualities required of a historical researcher, sincerity
and patience, in full.  He takes into consideration even those historical
evidences which have no basis and which are quite a lot.  And he sets out
to analyse them extensively and establish how correct or incorrect they
are.  This maturity of mind which is required foremost of a historian is
inherent in this young author and this fact is enough to throw light on
his vast knowledge and deep insight.  And, his analytical bent of mind and
viewpoint are further enhanced by his distinct style of writing which is
at once simple and rich.  Till date I have not met Giritharan.  Only through
his writing I have come to know him as an intelligent writer who has a
seeking for more and more knowledge and wisdom who writes for a case and
with a purpose.  This analytical work of his reveals to us another aspect
of his self.  or rather, another facet of his self.  And indeed, with pride
and precision. "-S.Yoganathan-
