Description
English: Rajendra Chola Empire
  • Note : Pg.28 " From the third to the ninth century Chola history is obscure. Towards the end of the ninth century the Cholas under Aditya overthrew the Pallavas; but in the reign of Parantaka I (907-53) the Chola country was overrun by the Rashtrakutas of the Deccan. With the accession of Rajaraja the Great, in 985, the Cholas began to expand un¬ til they became the paramount power in southern India. Rajaraja’s conquests included the Chera and Pandya country, Vengi, Kalinga, and Ceylon. By means of a powerful fleet he annexed the Laccadive and Maidive islands. Under his son, Rajendra I (1012-44), who extended these con¬ quests, the Chola empire attained its greatest extent. It is usually supposed that he reached the Ganges during one of his expeditions, but the Tiruvalangadu plates prove that the expedition was led by one of his generals and that Rajendra himself never advanced beyond the Godavari. To celebrate this expedition he assumed the title of Gangaikonda and built a new capital city, Gangaikondacholapuram. Modern scholarship inclines to the belief that Rajendra undertook an expedition against the Sailendra empire of Srivijaya and its dependencies in the Malay Peninsula and Archipelago. There is no evidence that any territory was annexed to the Chola empire. The whole problem is well discussed by Sastri (vol. i, pp. 254-68), where he accepts Coedfes’s identification of Srivijaya with Palembang in Sumatra.[3]
