Rajendra Chola's fleet strikes Srivijaya
1025
A Tamil armada crossed the Bay of Bengal and attacked the Sumatran maritime empire of Srivijaya, sacking its capital at Palembang and capturing its king. The fleet then struck ports across the Malay Peninsula and as far as southern Burma. It was the most ambitious amphibious campaign in Indian Ocean history, projecting Chola power across three thousand miles of open sea.
