🔆 Lessons from the Cholas: More Than Temples

📍 What PM Modi Highlighted
At the Aadi Thiruvathirai festival in Tamil Nadu, PM recalled the legacy of Rajendra Chola I & Rajaraja Chola I.
Praised the Cholas for their role in trade expansion, maritime strength, and defence of sovereignty.
The celebration marked 1,000 years of Rajendra Chola’s maritime expedition to SE Asia.

📍 Beyond Heritage: Governance Model
Chola contributions include:
▪️ Water management
▪️ Tax & land revenue systems
▪️ Decentralised democratic processes

📍 Temple Architecture as Civic Learning
Temples like Brihadisvara have stood tall for over 1,000 years, even in seismic zones.
Archaeologists believe their superstructure offers modern engineering insights on disaster resilience.
Useful for modern India facing frequent civic collapses & earthquakes.

📍 Democracy at Grassroots
Despite the 73rd & 74th Amendments, many local bodies lack elected reps even in big cities.
The Chola model of empowered local governance offers a historic template for reform.

📍 Way Forward
Statues alone won’t suffice — India must revive Chola-style administrative excellence.
Water resource management, especially in flood-prone deltas like Cauvery basin, is a vital lesson.
