Diarists of Tamilnadu : Pondicherry during French Rule
Guruvappa Pillai,  Ananda Ranga Pillai, Maria Das Pillai : Thanks Mumbai Mirror site
An article in Indian Literature, a Sahitya Akademi journal, on Tamilians who kept diaries and commented on politics, wars, deaths, marriages, natural calamities, society, culture and the economy in the 18th century in Pondicherry. The author of the article, S Jeyaseela Stephen, has translated some of these diaries and he gives us a number of interesting facts. He also mentions other writers of the period who were influenced by the French, among them Maria Das Pillai who knew Tamil, Sanskrit and French, and translated the Bhavagata Purana from Sanskrit to French in the 18th century.

Guruvappa Pillai is considered the first of these diarists. He travelled to France via England to get justice for his father who had been wrongly imprisoned. In France, he became a Christian in 1720 and his baptism took place in the palace of King Louis XV. The King himself was his godfather, and the convert?s name became Charles Philippe Gourouvapa. He was appointed head of the Indian subjects at Pondicherry when he returned in 1722. Guruvappa?s first cousin Ananda Ranga Pillai, and Ananda?s younger brother, also maintained diaries and the latter recorded events during the siege of Madras by the French in 1746. READ MORE
