The best news for the day !! The historic Anaimangalam copper plates — popularly known as the Leiden copper plates, as they are preserved in Leiden University in the Netherlands — are being handed over to our Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji today. These copper plates are among the most important sources for understanding the later Chola period. They consist of two sets: the larger Leiden plates, comprising 21 copper plates, and the smaller set of 3 plates. They were deciphered in the 19th century, including by Pandit Natesa Sastri. The plates carry the royal Chola seal, with the seated tiger, lamps and other emblems. Most importantly, they record the grant of Anaimangalam village by Rajaraja Chola I for the Buddhist vihara at Nagapattinam. The inscription tells us that Sri Mara Vijayottungavarman, the ruler of Srivijaya, approached Rajaraja Chola for permission to build a Buddhist vihara. Rajaraja granted land in Anaimangalam village, roughly around 450 acres, along with tax exemptions for the vihara. While Rajaraja Chola gave the original order, it was his son Rajendra Chola I who ensured that the royal command was formally engraved on copper plates. These plates are not merely inscriptions. They are living evidence of Chola administration, land grants, maritime connections, Tamil–Southeast Asian relations, and the civilisational confidence of the Chola age. This is a historic moment for Tamil heritage and for Bharat’s cultural memory. Personally, it is also a deeply satisfying moment for me.
