Indian history is diverse and bursting with narrative color. This is the real-life story of the Tamils -- led by Rajendra Chola I -- who forged an impressive fleet of ships and successfully invaded the biggest, baddest empire in Southeast Asia, changing the face (and fate) of the region forever. -- In 1025CE, the Tamil Cholas -- an Empire hailing from the southern regions of the Indian subcontinent -- invaded the Srivijaya Empire in Southeast Asia. This can surprise casual observers. After all, an organized naval invasion of distant lands seems out-of-place when considered in the context of most other Indian powers throughout history. In truth, however, the invasion was a sensible extension of Chola policy, and can be explained by the economic and political realities that defined South India in the medieval era. Enjoy this brief look at the Cholas and their overseas exploits! -- Music: Jalandhar by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/ Promoted by MrSnooze https://youtu.be/8dIHA5VcM4k Creative Commons — CC BY 3.0 https://goo.gl/Yibru5 Dhaka by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/ Promoted by MrSnooze https://youtu.be/8dIHA5VcM4k Creative Commons — CC BY 3.0 https://goo.gl/Yibru5 Naraina by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/ Promoted by MrSnooze https://youtu.be/8dIHA5VcM4k Creative Commons — CC BY 3.0 https://goo.gl/Yibru5
