The Chola Empire was undoubtedly the superpower of its time. It dominated in all sectors- textiles, art, architecture, trade, GDP, military, diplomacy, war strategy, morality etc. The Cholan navy was the most powerful navy of its time. Naval war with the Chola Empire was equivalent to the official collapse of the enemy, even if the enemy was at its peak. The empire extended from Malasia and Indonesia in the east to Maldives in the west; from Bengal and Myanmar in the north to Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the south. It is believed that the Chola Empire was longest lasting single-dynasty empire to have existed globally. However, not once in Cholan history did any massacre or war crime happen. It covered all the criteria to be the greatest empire on earth at its time. So what happened that the Chola Empire ended just 120 years after its peak? This book covers many facts about the empire. From the Mahabharat to the Last Chola-Pandya War; from the Rise of Karikala Chola to the Fall of Rajendra Chola-3; from the Rise of the Cholas as an Empire to the 1217 Surrender; from Rajaraja-1’s Valour to Athirajendra’s Reign, we will uncover many unsaid details that were lost from the pages of history.
