In short, the history of Karnataka

The pre-historic culture of Karnataka was very different from the northern part of India. During prehistoric times, the hand-ax culture was practiced in Karnataka. This culture was like the pre-memorable culture of Africa.

The early history of Karnataka

The early rulers of Karnataka were from the northern parts of the country. During the 4th and 3rd centuries, the BCE parts of Karnataka were under the rule of Maurya and Nanda empire of northern India.

After the fall of the Maurya Empire, Satavahana dynasty came to power in Karnataka around 3 BCE. They ruled over the wider areas of northern Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra.

Prakrit was his administrative language. Both Kannada and Telugu were found and developed during their rule. Satavahana dynasty ruled Karnataka for almost 300 years.

As a result of the weakening of the Satavahana dynasty, Pallavas of Karnataka became a political power in Karnataka for a short time. Pallavas were dominated by the indigenous dynasties, the Kadambus of Banavasi and the Ganges of Kolar.

Kadamba dynasty and climbing of the Western Ganges Dynasty became an independent political unit at the starting point of Karnataka.
