I have added in the legend referring to Raja Venkatdri Naidu's massacre of the Chenchus and the subsequent repentence. I come from Narukulapadu. I don't have any published references, but this is part of the lore of the place. Hopefully, this can be verified and substantiated at sometime. Unslung13:05, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Similar Massacre
Interestingly around the sametime, in 1811, in Egypt, the once rulers, the Mamluks were invited to Cairo Citadel, by Muhammad Ali, an Albanian Turk and were ordered to be massacred. The Battle of 'Ain Jalut with a writeup on the Mamluks. ---AltruismT a l k -Contribs.16:38, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
I am sure, there would be other instances of such tactics being applied to eliminate one's enemies. History is galore with instances of enemies being invited for reconciliation and such 'quick' solutions being found. Some successful and some not so. Another case of a not so successful event of such a tactic being applied is when Afzal Khan invited Shivaji for reconciliation in 1659 and then attempted to attack him. Shivaji outsmarted Afzal Khan in this instance and caused mortal injuries. Just pointing out, in case a suggestion is being made that the lore is inspired by a geographically distant event!
