Religion Of Chola King Questioned | Another Religious Controversy Over Movie? | The Newshour Agenda

In this episode of The Newshour Agenda with Padmaja Joshi, we will deliberate on the continuously escalating controversy concerning the existence of Hinduism during the Chola dynasty which erupted after the release of Maniratnam’s latest movie Ponniyin Selvan: I.
