Explanation:
Assertion A: Rajendra assumed the title of Mummadi Chola.
Reason R: Rajendra's campaign in north India was to demonstrate the strength of the Cholas.
Option B is the correct answer - Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct reason for A.
Explanation:
Rajendra Chola was a famous ruler of the Chola dynasty who ruled from 1014 CE to 1044 CE. He was the son of Rajaraja Chola, who was also a great ruler of the Chola dynasty. Rajendra Chola is known for his conquests of various parts of India and Sri Lanka.
Assertion A is true - Rajendra assumed the title of Mummadi Chola. Mummadi Chola means "the Chola who wore three crowns." The three crowns refer to the three regions of South India, North India, and Sri Lanka, which were conquered by Rajendra Chola.
Reason R is also true - Rajendra's campaign in north India was to demonstrate the strength of the Cholas. Rajendra Chola's campaign in north India was a part of his overall strategy to expand the Chola empire and demonstrate their military strength. He conquered many regions in north India, including the Ganga-Yamuna doab, Bihar, and Bengal. He also defeated the powerful Pala dynasty and the Eastern Chalukya dynasty.
However, Reason R is not the correct reason for Assertion A. Rajendra assumed the title of Mummadi Chola to signify his conquest of the three regions of South India, North India, and Sri Lanka. The conquest of North India was just one part of his overall strategy, and it was not the main reason why he assumed the title of Mummadi Chola.
In conclusion, Option B is the correct answer - Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct reason for A.
