On top of my mind are Raja Raja Chola I(985-1014) and his son Rajendra Chola(1012-1044). Both were great and just rulers, patrons of literature, arts and architecture. They built a strong navy and Rajendra made conquests in far south east asia. Tanjore Big temple built with granite stones is a standing testimony to the golden period of RajaRaja's rule.
I'm avid history reader n I love this topic.
To us all towns are one, all men our kin. Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill. Man's pains and pains' relief are from within. Thus have we seen in visions of the wise! - Tamil Poem in Purananuru, circa 500 B.C
