Explanation:
The Chola conquest and occupation of Anuradhapura Kingdom was a military invasion of the Anuradhapura Kingdom by the Chola Empire. It initially began with the invasion of the Anuradhapura Kingdom in 993 AD by Rajaraja I when he sent a large Chola army to conquer the kingdom and absorb it into the Chola Empire.[1] Most of the island was subsequently conquered by 1017 and incorporated as a province of the vast Chola empire during the reign of his son Rajendra Chola I. The Chola occupation would be overthrown in 1070 through a campaign of Sinhalese Resistance led by Prince Kitti, a Sinhalese royal. The Cholas fought many subsequent wars and attempted to reconquer the Sinhalese kingdom as the Sinhalese were allies of their arch-enemies, the Pandyas. The period of Chola entrenchment in northern Sri Lanka lasted in total about three-quarters of a century, from roughly 993 (the date of Rajaraja's first invasion) to 1070, when Vijayabahu I recaptured the north and expelled the Chola forces restoring Sinhalese sovereignty.

The Chalukya Cholas of the medieval Chola Dynasty were related to Chalukyas by marriages and were in fact more Chalukyas than pure Tamils. All ruling dynasties in the history of this world have this mixed sort of ancestry.
The fact of the matter was their amalgamating Saivism with Brahminism and its Temple arts dance culture domestically and building Temples instead of Forts in conquered countries overseas, under Brahminical influence. They could not sustain there even for a few generations.
