ANSWER: C. Maheswaran
 
Jettys community of wrestlers knew the science of wrestling much before, according to C. Maheshwaran, author of the book Legacy of Jettys to be launched next week by Prince Yaduveer in Bengaluru.
  • Maheshwaran took 10 years for research on the wrestling community and studied Royal kingdom of Mysore, apart from Thanjavur, Krishnadevaraya, Tipu Sultan, Gaekwads of Baroda and the Rajput King, Prithviraj Chauhan of Ajmer which patronised this community.
  • The community’s original settlers were from Modhera in Gujarat. Nearly 400 families subsequently migrated to the south looking for royal patronage to the art in 1025 A.D., i.e., 991 years ago.
