I wish to advice that the modern Scholars have no room 'whatsoever' to think that the Chera, Chola and Paandiya kings were Sanskrit speaking dynasties. If they do so then the fact remains that they are in-complete in their historical knowledge of India, and need to undergo further research studies on the the actual History of South India, and a critical study of the ancient Tamil literary documents we have today.

During the British Colonial Period there remained very less Historical Scholars in South India to highlight the history of their region, and as a result the Historical Scholars of North India wrote the Indian History portraying to the masses that the early Indian History means that it was the History of Mauriyas, Guptas and Sathavaahanas of North India with Vedic and Sanskrit background, and the medieval Indian History of India means that it was the history of the Muslim kingdoms also of North India with Islamic background. They hardly took any interest in the deep study of the other great dynasties of South India.

So what I suggest to the modern Scholars of India that they should not try to interpret the History of India, based purly on the writings of the old out-dated Historical Studies of the British Colonial period and post-Colonial period Scholars, but take much interest also in the study of the new findings of the Historians of the South India, and they themselves venture into the deep original research study of the History of these South Indian dynasties.

Also I am of the strong view that the History of India has to be completely re-written in the light of many new findings of the History of South Indian dynasties in the recent past, to make the modern Historical Scholars and new Historical Students be aware that - true History of India is not simply the History of North India as wrongly portrayed by the Colonial and Post-Colonial period Scholars, but is a combination of the Histories of "all dynasties" of North, Central & South India.

Also it is high time the Indian Historical Scholars of modern age India got rid of the false notions that prevailed in India up to the recent past, that all languages of India had its roots from Sanskrit and that all religions in India had their roots from Vedic religion, which can be disproved with evidence as a false bogey spread by irresponsible Scholars of the British Colonial period and post Colonial period of India.

Further it can be positively proved with evidences that the Tamil Language and Tamil Dynasties of South India are older than the two great Sanskrit Epics - namely the Raamaayana of sage Vaalmiki and the Mahaabharatha of sage Viyaasa.

Further Emperor Asoka never invaded entire Greater India including modern days Afghan, Pakistan and Bangladesh. He inherited the great empire through his father Bimbisaara from his grandfather the great Chadragupta Mauriya. He only conquered Kalinga country during his life time. The Afgan was never territorialy conquered by Mauriyas but only spiritually conquered by Emperor Asoka. The texts of the Asokan Edicts in many parts of India in the north beyond the southern border line of Karnataka state and in many parts of Northern & North-Western India only gives his Spiritual messages on Buddhism and not any Victory messages of lands conquered by him.

In this connection I request you to read my Thread titled "A Brief Study on the relations of Nandas & Mauriyas with Tamil Nadu in this same web site. Both this Thread and my Thread titled "The Singnificance of Kodungallur in the history of Kerala................" in this same Web Site. These two threads also gives an indication as to why Emperor Asoka or any other Mauriya king didnot invade Tamil Countries down south of India namely the Chola, Chera and Paandiyar.
