Timeline[edit]

Changes were made according to the timeline of dynasties. Inscriptions found at Bhattiprolu (Guntur District, A.P.,) pointed out the existance of a small kingdom that predated Mauryan kingdom. Satavahanas were vassals of Mauryans and became independent around 250 BCE. Pandyan kingdom postdates Satavahanas.

Introduction[edit]

The introduction mentions that the history of South India begins at 200 BC. But the Pandyas were ruling from the 6th Century BC itself. This needs to be changed --Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan

Find it hard to believe that. Any historical proof (except Devaneyan-style concoctions)?

Perhaps this is important (the age of artifacts may range from 500-1500BC), but it is hardly a notable site. I hope some one presents a paper on this soon.

Pallavas[edit]

The main page talks of Pallavapuri in AP being the capital of the Pallavas. Someone verified that fact? History talks of Kanceepuram/Kanchipuram as the capital of the Pallavas, which places it squarely in Tamil Nadu. Can the original author correct the fact, or can I go ahead and do it myself?

And, as far as I know, Pulekesin's Vatapi (now known as Badami) is in Northern Karnataka. Badami, Bijapur and Sholapur still have many monuments of the Chaulukyas.

The page needs a lot of improvement - some photographs too. A good place to start for photographs is Ruins of India, at Flickr --Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan 16:32, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Reorder[edit]

I have made some additions and rearrangements to the various ancient dynasties. They were not listed in any particular order. I've made them chronological. I have also removed some weasle words and POV text. - Parthi 04:53, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
