But instead the main aim here is to "prove the pride of Tamil Cinema" by becoming the greatest Commercial success.

Still doesn't take the fact away that they were the greatest of Tamil kingdoms. And on of the finest in Indian history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn't take the fact away that they were the greatest of Tamil kingdoms. And on of the finest in Indian history. They weren't vasals of Muryans Quote “The earliest mention of the Cholas comes from records of an abortive attempt by a Mauryan invasion led by Bindusara, the father of the illustrious monarch Ashoka, eloquently described by the Sangam poet Mamulanar7. The Mauryas cut for their chariots a new path across rocky mountains and launched an invasion with their feudatory, the Vadugars, in the vanguard, but were stopped in their tracks by the Mohur chieftain at South Arcot district8. Later inscriptions make it clear that this was indeed a one-time misdirected adventure, quite uncharacteristic of the great emperor. That seems to be the last time that South India faced a major invasion from the far north. Ashokan edicts distinctly admit that the Tamil kingdoms were never subject to him.” Excerpt From Rajaraja Chola Raghavan Srinivasan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol… cholas ruled for 1200 years they are one of the longest historical dynasty in the world ( longest in India by a country mile lol) , only imperial house of Japan ( Yamato) who are currently attested ( modern day ) have survived longer.. they were at their peak the largest maritime Indian empire as well. hehe so ignorant Edited July 13, 2022 by Vilander velu and Prakat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also accounts say that he was chief guest in a Pandyan court once. So they were kinda like vassal states on a friendly term. It's not mentioned that he conquered these lands like his father Bindusara who tried very hard... But got repelled by combined forces of Moovendras (Chera + Chola +Pandya) In fact he tried multiple times in a span of 13 years. He succeeded in establishing his bases on the outskirts of these kingdoms like Thulu Nadu (pazhi fort).. But wasn't able to advance further. This is the same expedition that Sangam literature calls large so called Aryan invasion into Tamil land. Edited July 13, 2022 by Lone Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Sangam literature claiming Aryan invasion is highly debatable in terms of interpretation. Moreover chronologically there are absurd predictions of timelines of Sangam that don’t align with even western historians. If you are debating from Wikipedia historians then you can’t be so very right . Our puranas timelines don’t match with the western historians’ and it is debatable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
