    _Alfred Thayer Mahan,_ eventually an Admiral in the US Navy, is often quoted for saying in 1897, "Whoever controls the Indian Ocean will dominate Asia. This ocean will be the key to the seven seas in the 21st Century. The destiny of the world will be decided on its waters”.

    1. The word “Navy” is a gift to the present day world from Tamil. It is derived from the Tamil word “Naavaai”. 2. Sozhlas (Cholas) had a dedicated naval fleet. 3. Rajarajan did not invade Sinhalese. He recovered northern Tamil territories from Sinhalese invasion, which was later completely recovered by Rajendran. 4. Rajendra Sozhlan did not directly attack Sri Vijayan kingdom who held Sozhlan merchant vessels, he split his fleet into two, where one sailed straight and the other sailed the unknown and circled back the island without modern navigational compass as in use today. India is proud to have Tamils, just like Telugus, Kannadigas, Malayalis, Marathis, Punjabis, Bengalis, Oriya, Assamese, and all other cultures.

I expect another documentary featuring Pulithevar, a tamil chieftain, 1st Indian who fought against the British for 15 years, started before Battle of Plassey, with few 100 soldiers against modern British forces of more than 1lakh soldiers at his time!!! But no one could read about him elsewhere in most of the books of history of India😮!

    ​@@vishalautade509 Refer Chau Ju-kua travel records. This population count may not be common in European history. But It is very common in Indian and Chinese history. Eg. 1. Battle of Maski, Chola's army strength was recorded as 900k. 2. Battle of Red Cliffs: Cao Cao's army strength was recorded as 800k. These were invasion forces, which means ~50% force had to be left to guard their home base and other borders. These numbers were confirmed by multiple sources. I don't think it is wise to challenge that. There is a reason why Indian and Chinese regions could afford such a huge population. Do not view Eastern history with western mindset.

    Very good Video!!! Rajendra Cholan is world's greatest emperor, I am not exaggerating anything here, from his teenage he was in the battles, 100s of battles and zero defeat. So many expeditions across the ocean even we can't imagine today, and another interesting stuff happened when he wanted to bring Ganga water to make his new capital city as sacred place, so he sent a small troop to get that done but many kings were challenging them on the way to Ganga River then what happened was a History !!! He made those kings to bring the water to Gangai Konda Cholapuram after defeating them all !!, since then he was also called as 'Gangai Konda Cholan'. Majestic!! Even though Chola kings made our presence across the ocean, Pandiya empires are our roots who ruled south since Sangam age which is 10-15 k years. But we know very little about them. without them our language, literature would have been lost.

    Being a peninsular nation, our history is more woven with the sea and maritime trade. It is simply mind blowing just to imagine how advanced and equipped these kingdoms were. Our history books completely ignores all these aspects and gives importance to the inavders of this country. Serious need to rewrite our history and take pride in it as a nation.

    They captured it to fill their ego up, Kalinga already had a navy and we were friends with SE Asians We still celebrate our trade with the SE Asians Cholas invaded SE Asia and also attacked Kalinga, and thus the friendship broke from the SE Asian side, and now they are all Converted Cholas ain't great, it was us Kalinga guys first who did all the stuff of Navy This video is just an Appeasement to Tamils Why? Is it a crime to show Kalinga as great too? Just because Odias are nationalist and don't take credit and just do their work and stay silent, do we deserve this discrimination against Tamils for credit of the Navy? Tamil Nadu, as we all know, is the shouting epicentre of SEPARATISM That's why the Indian government is appeasing them and now even the media So wow, is shouting like hooligans and saying anti India dialogues assure you getting rewarded? I mean if that's the case, then should Odias also start demanding such things? Nope, as an Odia and on top of that an Indian, I won't allow that Tamil Nadu has a history to keep Tamil Nadu as 1st, India as 2nd Odias don't do that... Sorry these words are harsh but Kalinga found the navy first, check all our monuments and see for yourself... Plus the trade relation festivals like "Bali Jatra" also speak volumes Cholas killed the relations India has with SE Asia just to satisfy their ego and greed Kalinga was instead a friend to SE Asia and connected them with Indian culture Our naval history predates the Cholas by a margin of 500-1000 years that is... Yet Cholas getting the credit, Marathas getting the credit? Why? Is Kalinga seen as a dead empire? Ngl, the negligence of coverage of issues of Odisha still till modern date also speaks volumes... Are we not Indians? We not showing our greatness and give us credit where it's due? Are we gonna celebrate Cholas too who betrayed Indian interests, just like that Ashoka? Until when do we wanna see lies? This is getting out of hand Well whatever, atleast god himself (Jagannath) is with Odias... A peaceful state of mind is better than this mess... I guess...
