Nagapattinam tsunami disaster predicted

The tsunami disaster in Nagapattinam was predicted in an historical novel written in 1950 by Kalki Krishnamurthy, one of the best historical novel's writter in India, compared sometimes with Alexandre Dumas and Walter Scott.

The novel "Ponniyim Selvam" (Darling of Ponni) was first published as a serial weekly during almost five years.

What do you mean by 'predicted'?
As I understand the article, he described a tsunami like phenomenon in ancient times..

Hi Dani,

Of course, he only described the tsunami, but by chance the town most damaged last December with the tsunami was Nagapattinam. It's just a way of talking.

BTW, I don't believe in predictions..
