Season Two (Promo) - The Great Chola Empire
Frankly I have been overwhelmed by the response to the Podcast series. So, we return for a new season, with better stories, better audio and better equipment. In this season we will cover the history of the Mighty Cholas, Their origins, their rise, their fall, their resurgence and extinction. We will also look at their naval strength and conquests. I hope this brings you as much joy listening to their history as much as it brings me introducing them to you.

The History of South Indians - Trailer
The Trailer to the podcast. We are introducing the host, the channel theme and what we can expect in the coming episodes.
India is a mixture of many different religions, languages, ethnicities. There are those who believe Sanskrit is the mother of all languages and that the Aryan Dravidian division doesn't exist. And then there are those that believe Dravidians originated independently of the Aryans. So what is the truth? That is what we are going to explore in the many episodes.
