Please replace the name 'Chola' (சோள) that means the name of an eatable grain, with 'Chozha' (சோழ) which means the name of a king and/or his dynasty.Helppublic (talk) 10:22, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Descendants of Chola

Was Iskandar Shah a descendant of the Chola dynasty? He certainly spoke Tamil. Anwar 15:46, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some rulers of Chola-nadu in later times carried the "Chola" title. Were they the descendants of the Cholas? Is it true that the Zamindar of Pichavaram is a descendant of the Cholas? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.100.140.43 (talk) 15:29, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This page requires a complete rewrite,It does not meet the quality standards of Wikipedia most information lacks citation and the level of English used is also very poor- which i have tried to correct-help from editors familiar with the topic would be much appreciated.

Not only this but every article over Chola Kings need to be rewritten. The opponent of the Chola Kings is either a barbarian or a weakling. Please read the articles over Chola-Chalukya wars from both Kannanda and Tamil sources and compare them. This person is nothing but someone who is seeing his kingdom crumbling, but helpless to do anything. Don't forget that his father was released from captivity by the same Hoyasalas. Don't call that cunning, but think something like the use of these weaklings is over. And don't forget that Rajendra was always propped up by someone or the other-Hoyasalas, Telugu Cholas, Kadavas or someone else. This sort of language is inacceptable in an encyclopedia--- Being a self-respecting King who valued his pride and the country's prestige before his own life and well-being, for a short while at least

Although none of the knigdoms were individually a match to the Chola/Pallava valour and military genius, their sheer numerical strength at a time when Cholas faced resource crunch, plus the much reduced size of the Chola domains, which meant that the Chola/Pallava army had fewer generals to lead their armies made things more difficult for Rajendra-III. After repeated wars for a period of three years, Rajendra III gave up all claims in the Pandya country, despite the fact that there was no loss of Chola territory, but there was no gain either in the face of growing Pandya hegemony over the South, which was to prove very damaging ultimately to both the Kakatiyas and the Hoysalas resulting in the weakening of those two kingdoms.

Jatavarman Sundara Pandyan I ascended the Pandya throne in 1251 CE and in him the Pandyan kingdom found a leader with moderate ability and valour. By 1258, he had the warlike Cholas to retreat though through questionable tactics, once again and forced the Hoysalas to retreat to the Mysore plateau---Where is the reference for this?

Both of them either perished in this war or disappeared from scene altogether but gallantly. Rajendra-III towards the end of his time and that of the Chola lineage, was forced even though owing more to personal resource crunch than to his unwillingness to fight enemies, to defensive against the Pandyas. The guerrilla tactics employed by all his enemies had much to do in this.--Greta to hear--a vast army of Sundara Pandya invoving in guerilla tactics. Don't know where such a huge army hid. Don't forget, around 20 years before, the same army occupied areas as far as Vijayawada.

before vanishing from the scene altogether, thus signaling the demise of the greatest dynasty to have ruled South India.
