The Chola Dynasty was a Tamil Thalassocratic empire in southern India, and it was one of the world's longest-ruling dynasties. Vijayalaya established a powerful empire in the middle of the ninth century. The Chola monarchs instituted a series of social reforms for the benefit of the people as a whole at the beginning of the 10th century. The kingdom was divided into provinces. Hindus ruled over the Cholas. They continued the Pallava tradition by enforcing the Varnasiramadharma in their country.
