THE SLAVE'S LOVE

Bag om THE SLAVE'S LOVE

Elihu Yale-a name that reminds us of an Ivy League University in the US. A man who came to Madras as vice-president of the East India Company, Yale was the one who established the Corporation of Madras. But there was a dark side to Yale, the so-called philanthropist. He profited from the slave trade in Madras. He passed a rule that at least ten slaves should be on board every ship that set sail for Europe from Madras. Whipping, branding, families being torn apart, slaves being shipped off to foreign countries-people in South India were subjected to all the horrors of the slave trade, with Madras being the hub of the trade. Ra.Ki. Rangarajan's Adimaiyin Kaadal is about the life of a slave girl. She is the heroine of Ra Ki's historical. Rescued by a daring hero, she runs from her former owner. But who is she? What is the mystery in her background? What is her connection with the little kingdom of Singavaram in Tamil Nadu? Ra Ki takes the reader on a racy and exciting journey through Tamil Nadu's little principalities, even as romance blossoms between the slave and her rescuer. Do they marry? Is the mystery in her life resolved?

Beskrivelse af THE SLAVE'S LOVE

Elihu Yale-a name that reminds us of an Ivy League University in the US. A man who came
to Madras as vice-president of the East India Company, Yale was the one who established the
Corporation of Madras. But there was a dark side to Yale, the so-called philanthropist. He profited
from the slave trade in Madras. He passed a rule that at least ten slaves should be on board every
ship that set sail for Europe from Madras. Whipping, branding, families being torn apart, slaves
being shipped off to foreign countries-people in South India were subjected to all the horrors of
the slave trade, with Madras being the hub of the trade.

Ra.Ki. Rangarajan's Adimaiyin Kaadal is about the life of a slave girl. She is the heroine of Ra Ki's historical. Rescued by a daring hero, she runs from her former owner. But who is she? What is the mystery in her background? What is her connection with the little kingdom of Singavaram in
Tamil Nadu? Ra Ki takes the reader on a racy and exciting journey through Tamil Nadu's little
principalities, even as romance blossoms between the slave and her rescuer. Do they marry? Is the
mystery in her life resolved?
