CH 9 THE MAKING OF REGIONAL CULTURES

Answer. The Pandyas were defeated by Chola king Parantaka in 910 AD (the fate of the Kongu Chera country, then ruled by Kongu Cheras, upon the fall of Madurai is not known).

The Chera Dynasty was one of the three major Kingdoms of Tamilkam and ruled over the present-day state of Kerala and to a lesser extent, parts of Tamil Nadu in South India. The word Chera probably derived from Cheral, meaning “declivity of a mountain” in ancient Tamil.

The Cheras were the ruling dynasty of the present-day state of Kerala and parts of Tamil Nadu in South India. Their capital was Muziri also known as Vanchi.

WELL, ACTUALLY, BOTH KL AND SELANGOR. Cheras is actually in Hulu Langat, Selangor. Then on Feb 1, 1974, part of it was annexed to the Federal government to form part of the Federal Territory. Hence, half of Cheras is in Kuala Lumpur, under DBKL, while the other half is in Selangor, under the Kajang municipal council.

Life in Cheras is a story of two states, stretching as it does from Kuala Lumpur in the north through to Selangor in the south. It’s a sprawling and, in places, densely populated area, with an abundance of malls, shops, nightlife, and local amenities for residents to enjoy.

Keralolpathi claims that the Chera kings followed Matriarchy and belonged to Tulu Bunt (community). In reality Chera kings were Tamils who followed Patriarchy who hated Polyandry practised in the later times.

Kongu Chera dynasty, or Cheras/Keralas of Kongu or Karur, or simply as the Chera/Kerala dynasty, were a medieval royal lineage in south India, initially ruling over western Tamil Nadu and central Kerala. The headquarters of the Kongu Cheras was located at Karur-Vanchi (Karur) in central Tamil Nadu.
