It was because of their powerful navy - the first naval fleet of India. Palki Sharma tells you all about the naval warfare of the Cholas on this episode of the Flashback.

    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.

      ​@@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.

      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...

      -> Book number 10 and 11, talks about missing years from Indian History. Over 1380 years have been deleted from indian History in order to adjust them to Biblical timeline of 2000-4000 years by British. Thats why there a lot of confusion fron the times of ancient Indian era to 12th century AD. Vedveer Arya have exposed that. And he has also given talks regarding this on UA-cam platform.
