Which of the following Chola rulers had persecuted Ramanuja and Ousted him from his Kingdom?
-
- Kulotunga I
- Kulotunga II
- Adhirajendra
- Rajaraja I
Correct Option: A
Kulotinga I Chola ruler had persecuted Ramanuja and ousted him from his kingdom. Ramanuja was the contemporaey of Kulothunga II. It is Kulothunga II who banished Ramanuja from Tamil country and the latter had to seek refuge in Melkote, Karnataka. Hence even bringing Ramanuja into Athirajendra's death would cause more confusion. Till Kulothunga II, all the Chola king and emperors supported all the religions equally although they were staunch Saivaites
