Talk:Imperial Chola Army

Untitled

The article says: Chinese traveller and chronicler Chau Ju-kua, who travelled in the Chola country c 1178. I have been reading up a bit on Chau Ju-kau, but cannot find evidence that he was in fact a traveller, just a chronicler writing within China (about foreign places, among others Chola). I'm also puzzled where the 1178 date comes from: he wrote he chronicles in 1225 or thereabouts. Could someone please cite a reference? Martijn Faassen 23:29, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I since dug up a reference to an older geography written in 1178, Ling-wai-tai-ta by another author Chou Ch’u-fei. The geography written by Chau Ju-kua bases much of its content on this earlier work. Perhaps this introduced the 1178 date, though I still don't have any indications that Chou Ch’u-fei was a traveller. Martijn Faassen 00:03, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

• 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) 09:33, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Article investigation

The article needs verifying for the source cited. Many of the sources are incomplete or lack parameters such as titles, years, exact pages, etc. It does not seem to be neutral either, the existing claims lack comparison sources. Some of the parts borrowed text from the page Chola Navy, which has been investigated. After investigation it is found that the article contained many fraudulent claims, the problems found in the article include using fake sources and misattributed sources, lacking additional references for comparison, and using a fraudulent image as its support. Problems that need to be addressed are:
1. POV: Is a claim biased or expressing somebody's POV as fact? It would be better to have more comparison sources
2. Notability: Is the source cited come from a credible source or self-published? What is the work used? Who is the creator? What is the publisher? A background check for the author is needed—We don't want some chauvinistic person's citation to go unnoticed, also back to no.1
3. Reference improvement: Verify the source, can the claim be found in the cited source? Does the cited source exist at all? If a cited source lacks a parameter then add it. Also, the footnotes need citations too—Otherwise, it's the same as making up a personal (original) comment or a lie.

Section removed

I have removed the Strength section which used a book called Masala History by Siva Volume - 1: The History they don't teach at School. That book did mention what in the section, unfortunately, it does not use any source or citation whatsoever. The book was more like a nationalist book, the chapter is titled Rajendra Chola vs. Mahmud of Ghazni, a strange comparison if this meant to be an academic book.

• Early Chola invasion of Anuradhapura (205 BC)

(Around 205 BCE, Ellalan mounted an invasion of the Rajarata based in Anuradhapura in northern Sri Lanka and defeated the forces of king Asela of Anuradhapura, establishing himself as sole ruler of Rajarata)

• Battle of Kariyaru

Manimekalai mentions of a great battle of Kariyaru in which the 'Chola junior prince' (Ilankon) defeated the Pandya and Chera kings. We can infer that the Chola prince Ilankon to be Nalankilli ilankon and that this was the battle in which Nedunkilli met his fate and the civil strife came to an end.

Kovur Kilar again pleaded with both the Chola princes to give up their strife, as whoever wins, the loser will be a Chola (Purananuru – 45).

The plea apparently had no effect and Nedunkilli was killed in battle at Kariyaru.

• Battle of Vahaipparandalai ( 2 nd Century CE)

The Battle of Vahaipparandalai was a significant military engagement during the Sangam period in South India, where King Karikala Chola defeated nine enemy chieftains. This victory is one of Karikala's notable achievements and contributed to the Chola kingdom's rise to prominence. The battle likely took place in the region known as "the field of vahai trees.

• Battle of Talaiyalanganam ( 3rd Century CE)

The Battle of Talaiyalanganam was a significant military victory for the early Pandya king Nedunjeliyan II during the Sangam period, around the 3rd century CE. He defeated a coalition of Chola and Chera kings and their vassals, who had attacked the Pandyan capital of Madurai. The battle took place at Talaiyalanganam, a town in present-day Tamil Nadu.

• Battle of Vallala (911 CE)

The Battle of Vallala, also known as the Battle of Tiruvallam, was fought in 916 CE between the Cholas and the Rashtrakutas. The Chola king Parantaka I led his forces to victory against the Rashtrakuta king Krishna II. This battle took place near the village of Vallala, which is located in present-day Andhra Pradesh.

• Battle of Chevur (959 CE)

Th e Battle of Chevur was a significant engagement during the Chola-Pandya conflict in the 10th century, specifically between the Chola forces led by Parantaka Chola II (also known as Sundara Chola) and his son Aditya Karikalan (Aditya II), and the Pandya forces under Vira Pandya. The battle, which took place at Chevur, resulted in a decisive Chola victory, with Aditya II reportedly killing Vira Pandya. This victory, however, did not lead to a complete conquest of the Pandya kingdom.

• Battle of Udagai (1003 CE)

The Battle of Udagai was a conflict between the Chola and Chera dynasties, fought during the reign of Raja Raja I, the greatest Chola king. The battle, which took place in present-day Udayagiri in Kanyakumari district, resulted in the Cholas plundering Udagai and returning with significant spoils, including gold and elephants.
