Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Tamil and Malayalam only diverge into distinct languages after about 1000 AD? For most of the period the episode is talking about, they were a single ethnolinguistic group, so “Tamil” would cover both areas.

In the episode they say that it was already waning and that this view is some kind of a misconception.

Without him hinduism wouldnot have survived

We did discuss Chalukyas of Vengi, Cheraman Perumal dynasty

If you mean Telugu / Malayalam literatures, they are mostly outside the purview of this episode. Though we could’ve mentioned Nanayya who is at the tail end of this period

I would love an episode about Shankara and the acharyas that came afterwards! And also the institutions that came up and how that led to the continuity of Hinduism till today. Also maybe an episode on the bhakti movement over the years.
