No.
The Javanese got Palla'd and then developed thier own civilization.
The Javanese in-turn colonised mainland indo-China and influence Dvaravati and Funan. The Tais raped the Dvaravati and created the Siamese.
Singapore is not Srivijaya. Srivijaya capital was in Palembang(Sumatra) and Nagara Sri Dhammaraja (Southern Thailand)

Most either use sanskritized Grantha script which was used by pallavas
Or Tamil-bhrami script which was used by cholas and later pallavas ( since pallavas themselves got BROWN'D by cholas )
Xavier Hill
>since pallavas themselves got BROWN'D by cholas
Wait the pallavas weren't Dravidian?
Colton Flores
They are dravidians but early pallavas got conquered by Indo-aryan kingdom's and made it their tributary
So they used Indo-Aryan pallava Grantha than Dravidian language
Most high class and royalty also converted to vaishnavism ( those who worship Vishnu )
While most of it's population remained shivates ( those who worship Shiva )
Most of the population also spoke only tamil and Telugu
They later got defeated by cholas and they changed back to shivaism and started using Tamil-bhrami
This is most commonly found in temples
Early pallavas built temple's which had inscriptions both in Sanskrit and Tamil
Later pallavas used only Tamil and telugu

No
>Trade agreements
Yes
They used to traders and merchants at first then got greedy and started Raiding seaports along indian ocean
They used to more or less similar to VIKANGZ than ooga Booga
As they clearly were intelligent enough to build boats that are capable of sea faring
They raided other indian kingdoms too
The Most famous raid was 3rd siege of kalinga at that time cholas were hired as mercenaries to defeat kailangan invasion of pallava kingdom
They helped pallavas at first then they raided them too
Cholas are infamous for Raiding Buddhist monasteries
Which they often did
>Cholas are deceitful
Yes , absolutely
They used to be cunning , deceptive and extremely ruthless
They were the first Dravidian kingdom to unite and rule over entire south india and modern srilankan and nearby indian islands
They helped cheran chieftains rebels against pandyas first then betrayed both and conquered them too
Finally after centuries of rule they got week and sloppy
So pandyas rebelled against cholas and with the help of cheras and pallavas they defeated cholas
Pandyas hated cholas so Much they burned and razed down anything they built
They even sent an a naval detachment to raze any overseas cholan merchant guilds and temple's
Cholas vs pandyas was one of the Most deadliest and famou war between two Tamil kingdoms
