The Chola Invasion of Bengal

S. Krishnaswami Aiyangar

Under this heading Mr. A. C. Banerji discusses in pages 655–666 of the JRAS. for 1935 the northern invasion of Rājēndra, the Gangaikoṇḍa-Chola, on which subject I made a contribution long ago to the late Sir Asutosh Mukerjee Commemoration Volumes, which article appeared in a slightly revised form in the Journal of Indian History, volume ii, pp. 317–369, more than a decade since. There are some points in the discussion which seem to admit of a few remarks in criticism—perhaps even correction—pending publication of a typical historical document of the great Chola, and attaining to a correct version of the details of the invasion.
