Descendents

I again removed the info relate to Chola descendents. Chola lineage cuts across agrarian castes of Andhra. After their decline, the Chola/Choda got merged into various social groups including Telaga, but not exclusively. Kumarrao (talk) 10:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear 65.24.52.9, I do respect the views of the Telugu historian, Etukuru B. Murty. Durjaya clan to which Telugu Chodas belong is prevalent in many agrarian castes of Andhra. Hence, exclusive descent to Kapus is ruled out. Henceforth, please provide your Username, sign with four tildes and follw Wiki guidelines.Kumarrao (talk) 13:39, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do not mix

Do not mix castes with historical inscriptions. There is no evidence of what caste they are. mlpkr (talk) 05:19, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is unfortunate that some anonymous users have been repeatedly editing the article linking caste denomination without proper evidences. Etukuru Murty is not a reliable source. Particular page in his book may be cited wherein he provided proof.Kumarrao (talk) 06:00, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Repeated edits with caste connotation without proper proof are deleted.Kumarrao (talk) 13:08, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is ridiculous to see several users ( both Kapu and other castes ) make competing claims about how their caste is associated with Chodas ( or other empirse ). What everyone should bear in mind is that , almost all medieval empires ( with the exception of Rajputs empires or some muslim empires ) have obscure origins. As an example, even today no one knows who the ancient Tamil Chola's were, though guesses can only be made. If we go by the claims by various caste groups, Chodas's can be Kapus or Raju's or Velamas or Kamma's or REddy's ( all at the same time -is that possible ). What one needs to keep in mind is that caste groups change names and new ones emerge, it is very rare for the same caste to remain with the same name for many centuries. There were a loose group of agrarian castes in Andhra, that may have contributed to many empires in the form of soldiers or governors and these agrarian groups have slowly emerged as Kapu's , Telega's, REddy's, Balija's and even Raju's , based on their influence , power and their occupations.

While it may be easy to claim connection to an empire without any inscriptions or citations , this eagerness is only going to show a caste's inferiority complex, for only that can lead to all these outlandish claims!.

Telugu Cholas are not just Velanati cholas

Dear Wiki_KuthiVaiyans,

Please discuss here for further clarification on the topic. Let me clarify the history of Telugu Cholas. Telugu cholas existed from 6th centuary to 13th centuary in and around Andhra region. Telugu cholas do not just confine to Velanati cholas who were feudatories of Chalukya chola kuluthonga chola. Post Gonka I , during raja rajendra of telugu cholas they again came under the vassal of chalukyas of kalyani. Even prior to velanati cholas from vengi, there were cholas in renadu,pottapi and also nellore in later phase around 10th century. During 6th centuary neither of chola dynasty exsited in Tamilnadu and it got only revived by vijayalaya in 9th century. Kalamalla inscription of renati cholas dated back to 575 AD depicts the fact that renati cholas were independent and later turned chieftains to Eastern chalukyas. So I have corrected the content. http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/94000/9/09_chapter%205.pdf is a snippet for your reference. Happy to provide more sources if required. Please let me know if any objection. By LovSLif (talk) 06:51, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@LovSLif: what do you mean? no source directly states that kinda of claims, as per WP:NOTSYNTH and WP:ORIGINAL, you can't add those unsourced content, your edits are reverted. Thank You. --Wiki KuthiVaiyans (talk) 06:59, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Wiki_KuthiVaiyans I Have already added source which clearly proves that renadu and pottapi cholas existed before velanti cholas. http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/94000/9/09_chapter%205.pdf here you go. Also https://cbkwgl.wordpress.com/2016/03/12/telugu-inscriptions-the-start/ and there are numerous books stating the same. You should get the facts that velanati cholas are only part of telugu cholas so you cannot put forward that to whole chola group of telugu cholas. Basic fact is telugu cholas of 6th century were independent and there was no such dynasty in tamilnadu until vijayalaya. Let me know if you want ref from NCERT By LovSLif (talk) 07:07, 4 February 2019 (UTC) More facts about Renati cholas of 6th century. During that period only chalukyan and pallavas existed until 9th centuary. https://books.google.com.sg/books?isbn=8126018038 Amaresh Datta - 1987 - ‎Indic literature By LovSLif (talk) 07:11, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@LovSLif: Follow "Wikipedia articles must not contain original research" WP:ORIGINAL and provide reliable sources WP:RS and the references you have provided doesn't follow WP:RS and they are WP:RSSELF really a wordpress site and unknown author pdf which doesn't state what you claim?, provide WP:RS and make your changes. --Wiki KuthiVaiyans (talk) 07:16, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Wiki_KuthiVaiyans, I have already cited valid source. The sources cited in velanati cholas in its article , yes do not meet WP:RS So better we edit and retain only relevant content in all chola articles including velanati and others By LovSLif (talk) 07:22, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article is the digital equivalent of an arsewipe

When citations do not exist, please desist from making fallacious claims. The overall tone and language of the article has gotta be improved. Destroyer27 (talk) 18:16, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Chozha

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) 10:08, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Helppublic: chozha can also be written as choda? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 18:51, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Undiscussed page move

@Tirukodimadachengunrur: at 9 july you moved this page from "Telugu Chodas" to "Andhra Chodas," referring to A History of Telugu LiteratureIs this move really warranted? Google books gives only one hit for Andhra Chodas, namely the above mentioend book, and eight for Andhra Cholas, whereas Telugu Chodas gives 940, and Telugu Cholas gives 875. Also, Chola, not Choda, sems to be the WP:COMMONNAME. So, I think this page should b moved to "Telugu Cholas." Pinging User:Doug Weller to inform him. Regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 19:12, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jonathan. The word Chola and Choda are denoting the same dunasty. It's just alternate slang.

Regards Andhra Chola or Telugu Chola: An empire or dynasty should not be blocked in a language name. For example, the Madurai Nayak Dynasty family migrated from the Andhra region to the Tamil region and the ruled Tamil region, but still they have not called the name of the Telugu Nayak Dynasty. They are only identified as Madurai Nayak, which denotes their ruling area. In the same way, Andhra cholas originated from Tamil Nadu Karikala chola and migrated to Andhra region and started ruling Andhra region, so they should be called Andhra Cholas.

Regarding An empire or dynasty should not be blocked in a language name: according to which WP:RS or Wiki-policy. WP:COMMONNAME says we should use tge common name, which obviously is "Telugu Cholas." It's not clear to me how History of the Eastern Chalukyas of Vengi supports your argument. Regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 03:43, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Andhra Telugu Cholas - descendents of Karikala Chola

Hi @Joshua Jonathan:/@Doug Weller:, Many inception and reliable historians says that the Andhra region Telugu Cholas were a descendents of king Karikala Chola. But the user User:L5boat intentionally removing the Karikala Chola content from this page and Kakatiya dynasty. Please take a action on that I'd and make these pages protected Tirukodimadachengunrur (talk) 06:10, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not all Telugu Chodas. Some like Renati Chodas were probabaly descended from Karikala while others like Velanati Chodas were local Chola feudatories who just claimed ancestry to enhance their reputation. You can add those details in individual dynasty. You just can't generalize that all Telugu Chodas are descendants of Karikala. L5boat (talk) 06:40, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Velanati Cholas' descent from Vijayalaya Chola, a karikala chola descend. below are the reference

1. "A History of the Andhras" by Y. Subba Rao (1988)

- Page 150: "The Velanati Cholas were descended from Vijayalaya Chola, who conquered the Velanadu region."

2. "The Kakatiyas of Warangal" by P. V. P. Sastry (1978)

- Page 25: "The Velanati Cholas claimed descent from Vijayalaya Chola, the founder of the Chola dynasty."

3. "Epigraphia Andhrica" by V. Vijayendra (1981)

- Volume 2, Page 135: "The Markapuram inscription mentions the Velanati Chola king, Rajaraja Narendra, as the descendant of Vijayalaya Chola."

4. "South Indian Inscriptions" by T. V. Mahalingam (1985)

- Volume 10, Page 212: "The Velanati Chola inscriptions trace their lineage to Vijayalaya Chola, the Chola king."

Please note that page numbers may vary depending on the edition or reprint of the book. Tirukodimadachengunrur (talk) 07:28, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, this line is already present in Renati Chodas section.

″The earliest of this family was Nandivarman (500 CE) who claimed descent from the family of Karikala and the Kasyapa gotra.″

L5boat (talk) 07:10, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Hundreds of authors sayd that Generally Telugu Cholas were the descendent of Karikala Chola

Velanati Chodas - are not considered as Telugu Cholas

As per historians only Renati Chodas, Pottapi Chodas, Konidena Chodas, Nannuru Chodas, Nellore Chodas and Kunduru Chodas - are considered as Telugu Cholas. As they all have same origin. Velanati cholas are just a vaasal of Imperial cholas. And origin of velanati cholas are unclear. All the historian has mentioned Velanati as seperate dynasty which is not related to Other Telugu chodas.
