The expansion of the Cholas from their base in the Kaveri Delta saw
this growing power subdue the kingdoms of southern India, as well
as occupy Sri Lanka and the Maldives, by the early eleventh
century. It was also during this period that the Cholas initiated
links with Song China. Concurrently, the Southeast Asian polity of
Sriwijaya had, through its Sumatran and Malayan ports, come to
occupy a key position in East-West maritime trade, requiring
engagement with both Song China to the north and the Chola kingdom
to its west. The apparently friendly relations pursued were,
however, to be disrupted in 1025 by Chola naval expeditions against
fourteen key port cities in Southeast Asia. This volume examines
the background, course and effects of these expeditions, as well as
the regional context of the events. It brings to light many aspects
of this key period in Asian history. Unprecedented in the degree of
detail assigned to the story of the Chola expeditions, this volume
is also unique in that it includes translations of the contemporary
Tamil and Sanskrit inscriptions relating to Southeast Asia and of
the Song dynasty Chinese texts relating to the Chola Kingdom.
