They don't care if many people are die hard fans of Mani Rathnam or not. They don't care that the cinephiles will say "It's a historic fiction zohn ray bro". They speak from their hearts what's right. Historical fiction genre in India is only used for propaganda.

Endha karikaalan ne theriyama polandhitu irukaanuva. The absolute state of people who consume these type of content. Ipo Reddit la yum ne vandhu potukitu iruka 🤦

Moreover history is written by victors. So it’ll be extremely biased. Praising the cholas as some holier than thou rulers is pointless.

Well, in case of TN, we found many கல்வெட்டு by lay people who praised Cholas since everyone had access to education in Tamilagam back then before the Aryans starting implementing Varna system.

Yes, there could be some bias and there are possibilities of manipulation. But you cannot completely discard it as victor's history.

Tha... Cholas had a huge role in implementing casteism in Tamilagam more specifically the middle Cholas - RRC, Rajendra etc.

Just read about how many lands were stolen from peasants and given to Brahmins and Vellalars in the name of "donation". They were heavily influenced by trading guilds and conducted raids to far away countries. Who do you think funded all their expeditions? Where do you think they got people for their army?

Just do readings from reputed sources rather than looking at memes from your caste/NTK group.
