| The second annual U.C. Berkeley Tamil Conference brings together scholars from North America and Europe to look at the complex cultural and artistic milieu known as Cõnãdu, or “Land of the Cholas”, during the period 900-1300 C.E., a period known for its vast artistic, intellectual and military accomplishments, which would leave their mark on India and on the world. This conference takes a look at the influence of the Cholas by examining the way in which concepts as diverse as royalty, religious community and moral order were constructed during this dynasty and perpetuated long afterwards, resulting in the notion of the Chola period as a golden age in Tamil history. | |||||||||||||||
