Clarification/Confirmation Need on Raja Raja and Rajendra Chola.
  • ramesh_kswamy
    Hello Folks,
    I came across a statement in wikipedia. Only four kings in Indian History have not lost a war at all. They are, Chandra Gupta Maurya, Ashoka, Raja Raja Cholan and Rajendra Cholan. Expert Opinions please.
    Thank you,

    Thats a good piece of information.
    One is a grand father - grand son duo and another is a father son duo...
    Genetics does play a major part in acheivements :)

    Can we add Rajadhiraja also in the list - Though he died in the battle - the war was ultimately won.

    What about Pandyas?

    Dear Friends,

    Please add Emperor Narasimha Pallavar I (Great Mamalla Narasimhar) also
    in this elite group of Kings who have not defeated in the battle and also
    Pandiyan Nedunchezhian, Cheran Sengottuvan.

    Mauryas - Emperor Chandragupta Maurya , Emperor Ashoka
    Pallavas- Emperor Narasimha Pallava
    Chozha - Emperor Raja Raja Choza and Emperor Rajendra Choza
    Pandiya- Pandiyan Neduchezian
    Chera- Cheran Senguttuvan

    Could you please anyone validate above and let us know in case of any
    corrections or clarifications.

    Dear Friends,

    We hear of MATHIRAIYUM EEZHAMUM KONDA PARAKESARI - Parantaka I.
    We hear of MATHIRAIYM EEZHAMUM KONDA RAJAKESARI - Sundara
    We hear of Rajaraja of his Overseas Conquests.
    And of Course RAJENDRA - the Greatest - who set his foot on War in the Overseas too - as recognised by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru .
    And I recall of having read of NARASIMHA PALLAVA sent a Fleet to Lanka in the early 7th Century.
    Any other Emperor/s - we discussed so far with such distinction ?
    Because to lock horn with an Enemy out side India means familising with such enemy's linguistic, cultural details and war-tricks too !

    what about Harsha?

    did he loose a war with Pulikesin or was that a draw- they had an agreement to keep Narmada river as border.

    Dear Friends,

    Yes, I have missed Karikal Chozhan from the elite group sorry.

    Regarding Emperor Harshavardhanar. There are 2 theories are as per
    below - need more clarification on these 2 theories.
    * Harsha was defeated by Pulikesi II
    * Pulikesi had a ceasefire between Harsha as there were no final victory for
    both of them and Emperor Harsha had agreed for that Ceasefire.
    Mauryas - Emperor Chandragupta Maurya , Emperor Ashoka
    Pallavas- Emperor Narasimha Pallava
    Chozha - Karikala Chozan, Emperor Raja Raja Choza and Emperor
    Rajendra Choza
    Pandiya- Pandiyan Neduchezian
    Chera- Cheran Senguttuvan
