Where do you think the word Singapore comes from? From Cholas conquest only! Its pathetic that Indians don't know even their own history and are more content about reading about their invaders and looters. I read about all our history in internet, while I read about how britshits had an inferior navy compared to Portugal and Spain, before the battle of some sea, where Spanish armada was defeated by British during 16th century, like that shit is more important than Chola historu


Singam- lion,puram- city. Lion city.

Also countries like Cambodia, Siam, Malaysia, brunei (yes muslim kingdm brunei etymology same as bornea ultimately from "varun"); islands like java (and hence also the programming language) , bali, borneo, sumatra. Regions like Kalimantan, malay peninsula and many many more.

I wonder if these people know all this. I mean even you (MadIndian) had only recently found out that ayyuthaya is derived from ayodhya.
But it sure reflects in their names, though: I have two friends from Indonesia both muslims but their lastnames are without a doubt indic influenced.

That's bcz gunpowder itself invented only in 1200 ~ AD before cholas,and putting cannons on a ship does not make one a naval prowess - marathas were never a naval power because they never dominated any trade route or they had the shipbuilding capacity like cholas.For several years their navy helped them in controling the major trade routes around india along with several military invasions in far off land.

Look at the scale of Cholas they had 600 -1000 ships at its peak, Rajaraja commissioned various foreigners (Prominently, the Arabs and Chinese) in the naval building program led a successful expedition against the sri vijaya kingdom (present day Indonesia) and subdued Sailendra.

They were our forefathers when we think of stuffs like Blue water navy and combating piracy In one particular note, the Cholas went as far as to conquer the kamboja and gave it to the Sri Vijaya kings (as per their request) to ensure cooperation in the curbing piracy.

Man, the cholas were awesome.
My favorite part of indian history, my favorite indian dynasties are the chera, chola, pandiyas.

To me these guys were awesome. These three were like 3 brothers fighting each other and sometimes helping each other.
Also to me it seems, these are the longest reigned dynasties in india and probably the whole world (though there is no mention of that in popular media.)
All three dynasties ruled for well over a millenia with breaks/interregnum in between. The pandias (who are like the older brother of the three) ruled for almost 2k years with breaks in between. Though some say that only the names were carried forward, not the blood lines.
But info about them is not very popular among public. I just hope their heritage is not forgotten in present day india.

Not only military ..... look at their cultural and scientific achievement ... metallurgy and local govt. etc.After mauryans they were the first to subdued foreign land first Lanka then south east Asia, spread our culture there.

Some cholas were also strong followers of Shaivism so much so that one ruler ordered the Vishnu idol to be thrown in ocean.

Trust me, I still have no idea even now how those words are related to India. If you can write a post on it, it will be much appreciated

Any link for that? Don't go by the anti hindu kamalahasan's dasavadharam .

 

[Mad Indian]

What can they do,i pity them without doing anything they are branded as extremist,intolerant,even hindu terrorists.

They have a single party majority in the central govt. What more do these ass clowns need?

There is no doubt that this conflict between Shaivites and Vaishnav did exist and the king in question is Kulothunga II.

Also have you heard about Narthamalai cave (with twelve Vishnu images) has a mutilated
Shiva linga in its cell probably the work of Vaishnava fanatics during their
resurgence.

There were conflicts yes, but they were theological dick measuring than open conflicts with killings. Do you have evidence for otherwise? Pls share if you do..

So, it goes like this: Cambodia= Khamboja; Siam= Shyam; Malaysia= Malay= Malai; brunei (and borneo)= varuna (lord of oceans) and so on.
Just check the etymology of the words on google.

They say Kampuchea, which is even closer to Khamboja. Also, Singapore is a simplification of Singha Pura, which means Lion City.

I just searched google fore "Cambodia etymology" and checked here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Cambodia
"Kampuchea" is apparently in the Khmer language and ultimately derives from Sanskrit "Kamboja."

Rare and Unseen Video of MARCOS aka Indian Marine Commandos...


Unknown Facts about #MARCOS

MARCOS were raised as the Indian Marine Special Forces (IMSF) in 1985. Two years later, they were renamed the Marine Commando Force (MCF). Their motto is – The Few The Fearless.

Becoming a MARCO or a Marine Commando is no cakewalk. Trainees have to undergo one of the world’s toughest courses that can last between two-and-a-half to three years, depending on the specialization.

Getting selected to be trained as a MARCO itself is difficult. The pre-training procedure, which includes a three-day physical fitness and aptitude test, sees almost 80% applicants being screened out. And it gets worse. A five-week-long ‘hell’s week’ follows this, which includes sleep deprivation and intense physical training. Those that make it through, or don’t quit on their own, actually proceed to the actual training.

Those that clear the selection then start undergoing the grilling course which includes basic training at INS Abhimanyu in Mumbai. The trainees then train in para jumps at the Paratrooper Training School in Agra and a diving course at Navy’s Diving School in Kochi.

After this basic training, they join – on probation – their respective groups for advance training. This includes training for counter insurgency, anti-hijacking, anti-piracy, clandestine operations, surveillance and reconnaissance, amphibious operations, unconventional warfare, and hostage rescue, among others.

All MARCOS are static line para jump qualified and some are qualified for freefall (HALO/HAHO) para jumps – High Altitude Low Opening and High Altitude High Opening. In fact, MARCOS are the handful of the special forces from around the world that are capable of being para dropped into the sea with the full combat load.

MARCOS are also trained in High Altitude Commando Course at the Parvat Ghatak School in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, at the Desert Warfare School in Rajasthan, High Altitude Warfare School (HAWS) in Sonmarg and Counter Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School (CIJWS) in Mizoram.

Their training makes MARCOS tough nuts to crack. An Indian MARCO on an exchange program in the US topped the US Navy SEAL course with ease.

After completion of training, a MARCO serves with the elite outfit for 3 to 5 years.

The MARCOS are equipped with some of the best weapons in the world. The units are equipped with the Israeli Tavor TAR-21 assault rifle to which a 40 mm grenade launcher can be attached. The TAR-21 is weather sealed, so a MARCO can emerge out of the sea, weapon drawn and ready to shoot. A scary sight for the bad guys!

Other weapons include the Heckler & Koch MP5 sub machine gun for close quarter battles, the SIG Sauer P226 and Glock 17 pistols and the Druganov and Galil sniper rifles and OSV-96 semi-auto heavy caliber anti material rifle. Apart from the weapons, they also operate two man subs, the Italian CE-2F/X100, for conducting covert underwater operations.

The MARCOS operations are the stuff of legends. Op Pawan in Sri Lanka, an operation to blow up the Jaffna jetty, saw MARCOS swim 12 kms to their target with their combat load in tow. They then slipped in without being detected and blew up the harbour with explosives. They were immediately fired upon by the LTTE. The commandos returned fire and managed to swim back to the ship without any casualties.

In 1988, the MARCOS, as a part of Op Cactus, thwarted an attempted coup in Maldives. They captured the boat with 46 mercenaries and their hostages that had escaped after the failed coup attempt.

During the Kargil War, the MARCOS were tasked to undertake covert operations behind enemy lines.

During the Mumbai attacks in 2008, they stormed the Oberoi Trident and Taj hotels where the terrorists were killed. Watch Video :


Even the terrorists in Kashmir are scared of the MARCOS and refer to them as ‘Dadiwala Fauj’, thanks to the beards they wear as disguise.
