Understand

South India is a region that stands apart from the North in terms of culture and history. With minimal influence from Islam, South India has preserved its unique traditions and languages. Throughout the centuries, powerful empires such as the Cholas, Cheras, and Pandiyas emerged from this region, each leaving their mark through monumental architecture, trade, and cultural achievements. The rise and fall of these dynasties eventually gave way to European powers like the Portuguese and Dutch, who fought fiercely to establish their dominance. Ultimately, it was the British who emerged victorious and shaped the destiny of South India. Today, the vibrant cities of South India, including Bangalore, Chennai, and Hyderabad, continue to thrive as economic powerhouses, contributing significantly to India's success in various industries.
