I wish the different articles like this, Mooshika and Chirakkal would all be clubbed together as one. Could anybody do that as they all pertain to the same family?

My Maternal Grandmother is related by blood to the Mushika/Kolathiri/Chirakkal Royal Family, two generations before her, her father being the son of one of the younger princesses after which her lineage branched out. Apart from the external link in the articles from the Organiser magazine, I came across another article in The Hindu about the family located at http://www.hindu.com/2006/02/19/stories/2006021910820300.htm. Also, I think the article on the famous Hathigumpha insciption at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hathigumpha_inscription, about the Cheras, Pandyas, Cholas and Velirs (which would have been the Mushika's former name) and hinting at the possibility of all four dynasties dating back to almost 1800 B.C.E. is pertinent to this article. It seems not many know this family by its more ancient name and mos know it by the name of Chirakkal which has a separate article here.Anup Ramakrishnan 22:39, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
