Colonel Colin Mackenzie CB (1754-1821) was Scottish army officer in the British East India Company who later became the first Surveyor General of India. He was a collector of antiquities and an orientalist. He surveyed southern India, making use of local interpreters and scholars to study religion, oral histories, inscriptions and other evidence, initially out of personal interest, and later as a surveyor. Kavali Borrayya was a Telugu Scholar who helped Mackenzie in his collection of antiquities and interpreting them. Borrayya died at a very young age of 26 years. Mackenzie and Borrayya are the primary reason for today's south India history documentation. Borrayya's brothers Lakshmaiah and Ramasamy also helped Mackenzie after Borrayya's death. In this research based talk show, KiranPrabha covered the life sketches of these people as well as their selfless service towards collecting antiquities which finally helped historians.
