To learn at a deep level you have to opt for higher education in history. Which more than half of South Indians have not read! You come here and complain. Including Islamophobics of another level. Those who studied it beyond school had to study these empires in depth. Also, those that studied them, did not call it boring subjects then. So, you don't get depth in school; you get to read all history in basics. School wasn't wrong your taste in learning has changed.

How come we never learned about this great king and his achievements in my school days. I studied in Chennai, and I remember that the great Chola kingdom was just a 12 lines paragraph in my history book that had individual chapters on Akbar, Babur, Aurengjeb, Gandhi, Nehru, Ashoka, WW1 and WW2. It is a shame how much our own history was nothing but a ignored text in the history books of our own country.

I really appreciate what you have accomplished. Being a history aficionado it's a breath of fresh air to see some content related to Tamil kings finally gaining some traction. I am a Tamilian myself. As much as I appreciate the gaga around Cholas lately, I'd be really glad to see some content on pandyas, Cheras, Pallavas and Kallabhras. Pandayans in particular, as they were the sworn arch-rivals of Cholas and we're arguably the most ancient dynasty of the Indian subcontinent itself. After Cholas ousted the Pandyan kings, the latter lived inconspicuously for several centuries and rose in ranks as feudal lords. Eventually to beat their Chola contemporaries and revive Madurai as their capital. I really wish to see content on this. Please do consider and keep up the great work. Cheers mate!

Fun fact: the Kingdom of Vengi, where Kulottunga's father Rajaraja Narendra ruled, was a branch of the Chalukya dynasty, ruled by the Eastern Chalukyas. There were actually three Chalukya dynasties in South India (not to be confused with the Chaulukyas of Gujarat and Chalukyas of Lata), the first was the Badami Chalukya dynasty, which ruled from 543-753, before being subdued by the Rashtrakutas. The second was the Eastern Chalukya dynasty of Vengi, which ruled from 624-1102, and was originally a branch of the Badami Chalukyas before it was vassalized to the Rashtrakuta and later Chola Empire. the third was the Western Chalukya Empire of Kalyani, who originally feudatories to the Chalukyas, ruling from 973 to 1189, and is the empire that Vikramaditya VI here rules over.

I am a india🇮🇳 in Tamilnadu. I love ❤ my kings 👑 . They are ruled and brave, stronger, intelligent, motivator, good character, respect people, improved the culture and economy.

the thing i love about history is how one man can make so much difference on an entire empire. its interesting how a kingdom could be at the brink of collapse and 1 confident leader turns that kingdom into an empire and vice versa an empire can collapse because of 1 powerful enemy

This video does a great job covering an important period in Chola history. But it is important to remember that the movie Ponniyin Selvan (and the novel it is based on) take place in an earlier period of Chola rule during the reign of Sundara Chola. The younger son of the emperor, who is leading an army in Sri Lanka in the story, is the one who would later rule as Raja Raja Cholan or Ponniyin Selvan (son of the river Ponni). Both are central characters in the movie and novel and the whole plot of the novel is about the early days of Raja Raja Chola and a conspiracy to overthrow the Cholas. Just important to remember to distinguish the subject of this video from the plot of the movie PS-1.

There is so much History in Tamil literature and scriptures. For example, Barani is a text written for a warrior who killed thousand elephants in war (metaphorically). There is a book called "Kalingathu Barani" which details the war with Kalinga empire.

Thanks again Odd Compass. The animations and music were amazing.

Excellent video on a much ignored, but historically important, south Indian monarch. I really think that you have one of the best youtube channels in English featuring people and events from Tamil / south Indian history. The imperial Cholas are little known outside of India although they constituted one of the great dynasties of the Indian subcontinent. Another period that would be wonderful to explore would be that of the Tamil Sangam Age (300BC-300AD). Little known is that in this period south Indian society was dominated by a warrior class with a fierce heroic culture and code of honour, and with colourful pre and post battle customs and rituals. The period saw the genesis of south Indian martial arts (Varma ati, silambam, kalarippayattu) and, like the Japanese samurai, there were even forms of martial suicide. Archaeology has also revealed that some sword blades used were made from unusually high quality steel. The Cholas, Pandyas and Cheras (and their various feudatories) were in frequent or incessant conflict, and many of the kings (such as Karikalan, Senguttuvan or Neduncheliyan) glorified through war poetry. There are many accessible books on Sangam Age heroic poetry, and on ancient Tamil society and history in general which give a vivid picture of the martial elite and their internecine cattle raiding and wars. I have myself done many years of research into the warfare of those times.

Nice to hear this since we always talk about Raja Raja and Rajendra chola!! Thanks for sharing

Really happy to hear our history good work team thank you so much. Karunakara thondaiman was pallava prince. After thier defeat with cholas they served as generals and ministers. You can see that in ps1 too.

Impressive! You've done quite a lot of research. I think you should do a video about Kalki eho wrote the serialised Ponniyin Selvan story in his magazine, which eventually became 5 books. A former freedom fighter, I am so glad that Kalki is back on the map. But he was never forgotten as Ponniyin Selvan books are the most read and the most sold books in Tamil literature, possibly also in the whole of Indian literature.

Please add Thiruneer to Cholas anime. They are devout Saivites.

Yo your videos are dope af, keep em coming

Amazing character art!!

Very well done! Some alternative explanations - Rajendra's last son and his grandson VeeraRajendra both came down with some illness and died within months of each other. Kulottunga had also been crowned prince before they died and so became the default heir. The subsequent compromises with Vengi, the Pandyas and Lanka suggest that the illness could have been a pandemic reducing the forces and population needed to sustain the Chola empire as it had been before. In other words, Kulottunga's biggest achievement was to maintain (most of) the empire vs increasing its boundaries - of course, this was no easy task given the vast diversity in territory, ethnicity and resources!

Correction, Sri Lanka was never fully captured by the Chola empire. They only got the northern part of the island and that was it. Even after that, Sri Lankan kings saved Sri Lanka by declaring war against the Chola empire. Search for kings like vijayabahu and dutgamunu. you will find the truth.

I had seen your Videos on Cholas which are very interesting. Cholas were indeed imperial and at the same time progressive as they thought about maritime prospects which none of the Indian Kings had thought. Tamil history talks much about Raja Raja Chola and Rajendra Chola and of course about Kulotunga Chola also. But they are not much popular/publiscied. It's believed that Kulotunga directly involved in the second conquest of Kedah after his grand uncle Rajendra Chola. Your Video on Kulothunga is interesting because it explains in detail about the wars Kulothunga had fought. In Tamil Nadu it is very often said that Kulotunga was brought from Chalukya Country to rule. It is also interesting that his mother was from Vengi Country which was ruled by earlier Cholas - the descendant of Karikala Cholan around 1Century CE. Also it is interesting to note that Vikramaditya who is considered a great Conqueror was subdued by Kulothunga. If your videos are based on references of rock edicts or some travel notes, it would be authentic. 👏👏
