HISTORY OF TELANGANA
HISTORY OF TELANGANA
The Telangana region is believed to have been mentioned in the Mahabharata as the Telinga Kingdom which said to be inhabited by the tribe known as Telavana and said to have fought on the Pandava side in the great war of Mahabharata. It is also evident from the fact that there is Pandavula Guhalu in Warangal district (where the Pandavas spent their life in exile (Lakkha Gruham).
And, in Treta yuga, it is believed that Rama, Sita and Lakshmana, spent their life in exile at Parnashala on the banks of Godavari river which is about 25 km from Bhadrachalam in Khammam District which falls in the Telangana region.
Telangana region has been heartland for many great dynasties like Sathavahanas, Kakatiyas. Kotilingala in Karimnagar was the first capital of the Sathavahanas before Dharanikota. Excavations at Kotilingala revealed coinage of Simukha, a Satavahana emperor.
The region experienced its golden age during the reign of the Kakatiyas, a great Telugu dynasty that ruled most parts of what is now Andhra Pradesh, India from 1083 CE to 1323. Ganapatideva was known as the greatest of the Kakatiyas and the first after the Satavahanas to bring the entire Telugu area under one rule. He put an end to the rule of the Cholas in the year 1210 who accepted his suzerainty. He established order in his vast dominion that stretched from the Godavari delta and Anakapalle in the east to Raichur (in modern day Karnataka) in the west and from Karimnagar & Bastar (in modern day Chattisgarh) in the north to Srisailam & Tripurantakam, near Ongole in the south. It was also during his reign that the Golkonda fort was first constructed by the Kakatiyas.
Telangana, then came under Muslim rule in 14th century for the first time by Delhi Sultanate followed by Bahmanis, Qutb Shahis and Mughals. As the Mughal Empire began to disintegrate in the early 18th century, the Muslim Asafjahi dynasty established a separate state known as Hyderabad. Later Hyderabad entered into a treaty of subsidiary alliance with the British Empire, and was the largest and most populous princely state in India. Telangana was never under direct British rule, unlike Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions of Andhra Pradesh, which were part of British India's Madras Presidency.

KOHINOOR diamond
KOHINOOR diamond
The origin of the diamond is unclear, although rumors abound. According to some sources, the Koh-i-noor was originally found more than 5000 years ago, and is mentioned in ancient Sanskrit writings under the name Syamantaka.[original research?] According to some Hindu mythological accounts, Krishna obtained the diamond from Jambavantha, whose daughter Jambavati later married Krishna. The legend says that the diamond was from the Sun God to Satrajith (father of Satyabhama) which produces 1000 kg of gold daily. Krishna got the blame of stealing the diamond from Satrajith's brother who is killed by a lion which in turn was killed by Jambavantha. Satrajith had alleged that "Krishna probably killed my brother, who went to the forest wearing the jewel on his neck." Krishna, to restore his reputation, fought a fierce battle with Jambavan and gave the stone back to Satrajith. Now being ashamed with himself Satrajith offered his daughter's hand to Krishna along with the stone. Krishna accepted his daughter Satyabhama's hand but refused to take the Syamantaka.
Historical evidence suggests that the Kohinoor originated in the Guntur region of Kakatiya kingdom, in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, one of the world's earliest diamond producing regions. This region was the only known source for diamonds until 1730 when diamonds were discovered in Brazil. The term "Golconda" diamond has come to define diamonds of the finest white color, clarity and transparency. They are very rare and highly sought after.
The diamond was mined in the Kollur mines near the village Paritala in the present day Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh.The diamond became the property of Kakatiya kings. The Khilji dynasty at Delhi ended in 1320 A.D. and Ghiyas ud din Tughluq Shah I ascended the Delhi throne. Tughlaq sent his commander Ulugh Khan in 1323 to defeat the Kakatiya king Prataparudra. Ulugh Khan’s raid was repulsed but he returned in a month with a larger and determined army. The unprepared army of Kakatiya was defeated. The loot, plunder and destruction of Orugallu (present day Warangal), the capital of Kakatiya Kingdom, continued for months. Loads of gold, diamonds, pearls and ivory were carried away to Delhi on elephants, horses and camels. The Koh-i-noor diamond was part of the bounty. From then onwards, the stone passed through the hands of successive rulers of the Delhi sultanate, finally passing to Babur, the first Mughal emperor, in 1526.
The curse of the Koh-i-Noor
It is believed that the Koh-i-Noor carries with it a curse and only when in the possession of a woman will the curse not work. All the men who owned it have either lost their throne or had other misfortunes befall them. The British are wary of this curse and so far, only Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth have adorned the gem as sovereigns. Since Queen Victoria the diamond has always gone to the wife of the male heir to the throne.
The possibility of a curse pertaining to ownership of the diamond dates back to a Hindu text relating to the first authenticated appearance of the diamond in 1306: "He who owns this diamond will own the world, but will also know all its misfortunes. Only God, or a woman, can wear it with impunity."

HISTORY OF SATAVAHANA FEMALE ATTENDENTS
HISTORY OF SATAVAHANA FEMALE ATTENDENTS
satavahana rulers were quoted in old works like the Aitareya Brahmana,the Epics ,
the Paraná’s, the early Buddhist and Jain works.Gunadhya’s Brhatkatha,
Hala’s Gathasaptasati and Vatsyayana’sKamasutras reflected the
social and cultural life of the Satavahana period.
The Kathasaritsagara mentions the story of a king named Dipakarni
who saw a boy riding a Sata or lion, adopted him and named him
Satavahana
‘Satavahana’ and ‘Satakarni’ are the two standard names by which the
rulers of that dynasty are referred to in their inscriptions and coins.
Various explanations have been given for these names: Satkarni means
” the son of a horse”, and explained in terms of the Aswamedha tradition.
Barnett explained Satkarni as meaning the son of Sata. Sometime it is taken
to mean as one who has a hundred ships, or one whose vehicle is drawn by
hundred bulls or the one with his ears bored. The Kathasaritsagara mentions
the story of a king named Dipakarni who saw a boy riding a Sata or lion,
adopted him and named him Satavahana or the one who had a lion for his vehicle.
It is also suggested that Satavahana is only a variant of ‘Saptavahana’,
meaning the sun, and that they were so called because they were the worshippers
of the sun. these theories, however, have been discarded by Dr. M. Rama Rao,
who has argued that the dynasty has been named after the founder of the dynasty,
who ruled before Simukha.
Przyluski thinks that Sata and vahana, the constituents of Satavahana, are both
Mundawords; the former is the Sanskrtisation of the Munda word sadam meaning
a horse and the latter ofhapan meaning a son. Satavahanas were “sons of horse”
as they believed themselves to be born of the chief queen with the sacrificial horse
in the Asvamedha sacrifice So many kings in the Puranic dynasties as well as in
historic ruling families werecelebrated performers of the Asvamedha sacrifice
Even Megashtanes,Pliny ,Ptolemy,wrote refers about
satavahana army ,forts,maritimeTrade,viharas,even Fahein of 5th c AD ,wrote
about the donations to famous viharas by satavahana queens

SATAVAHANA COINS
SATAVAHANA COINS
Satavahana rulers were subdued during the period of Asoka but were independent

they were referred as satavahanas,satakarni,and Andhras, they have 30 forts ,
1000 elephants,100,000 infantry,2000cavalry.
The Deccan region was covered by large number of small tribal
kings which were often in war among themselves.
The Satavahana were the strongest among them after naga kings,
In this way the kingdom of satavahana came into existence in telanagana
region defeating the mahatalavaras.We get numismatic evidence to prove
this point enclosing the photo of rare Mahatalavarasa coin from my coin
collection along With some satavahana coins too from various coin collectors

MAHATALAVARASA TELUGU WORDS OF PRE STAVAHANA
MAHATALAVARASA TELUGU WORDS OF PRE STAVAHANA KINGS
The history of Satavahana dynasty start from Karimanagar,Adilabad region.
Before them the MahatalavarasRuled this region, we come across coins of
Mahatalavara and other pre –Satavahana rulers, But lack of
Script on coins make us puzzled about their history. But their
style of design on coins gives us their Independent style of coin minting than
north India, gives us clue about their existence before satavahana
dynasty. Recent discovery of fort at near water falls in Ichoda mandal
gives us proof about that.The cobbled
pathwayfortifications show us the importance of this fort ,at we may
assume it was the capital of satavahana dynasty The pottery with
several circles gives us it is of new type as similar seals are excavated in Egypt
also, which show us the satavahana maritime trade. Early period of satavahana
trade flourished with Egypt
sumeria,hittitites,which made south India the hub of trade,we exported spices
and got in exchange gold. Diamond mines were famous in whole world,
Queens were given important place in satavahana dynasty
Queen Naganika,wife of satakarni was perhaps the first queen found on
incriptions.,Even Nanaghat,Nasik incriptions give details of satavahana
rulers.Satavahana kings were first to issue the silver coins with portrait of king face.
They equally gave donations to Buddhist,Jain,Brahmains.
Conducted Ashwamedha yagnamto show their strength. They ruled whole of
telangana,Andhra,Karnataka,konkan,maharshatra,vidraba,gone
upto Gujarat,Vidisha in north and still further. South Indian history was
given little importance sofar, specially satavahana period for lack of
encouragement and was neglected. We were first to trade with outside world,
build ocean going ships and mint it on coins.

TELUGU words talari,talavara, nagamma,viramma.
TELUGU words talari,talavara, nagamma,viramma.
Lets us start the history of satavahana from established
sources such as the Megasthanes of 295BC and Pliny[ VI-;XVII:XIX]who
wrote that in south there is a dynasty by the name of ANDHRA.
Lets see what my Russian friend and linguist M.S.Andropov has to say
about word “Andhra” ..He tried to trace the origions of Telugu culture,why
they are so special and superior to other cultures even during the
Mahabarata period to get special mention about their 30 forts is worth
noting.We can understand they are aLarge cultural group little different from
other major Indian cultures.
They lived on the banks of river tributary whose name was Andri
and Handri ,they are in that name still today in Maharashtra and tungabadra
subriver even though the names in our region were changed in time cycle.
There is an Andhra valley near Bombay,Bellary inscription give the word
Andhrapathamau [220AD]
The usage of Mahatalavarasa word by satavahana kings show us that the official
language was Prakruti the common man language was newly developing telugu
an offshoot of Brahmi.
We come across the words talari,talavara meaning gramadhikari,Nagarjunakonda
inscription have the words nagamma,viramma.
There are several telugu words in GathaSaptaSathi,Vajjalaggam which is worth
noting.

Large number of petty kingdoms, which were often at war with one another. The
Satavahanas for the first time wielded the Deccan into a powerful State and gave
a cohesion and integrity to its history. The Deccan prospered immensely
under their strong rule. At a time when northern India was suffering from a series
of invasions by foreign powers like the Bactrians, the Sakas, the Parthians end the
Kusanas, the Deccan was enjoying relative peace. Among the foreigners, the
Sakas eventually succeeded in establishing a base at Ujjayini, from which
they proceeded to attack the Deccan. For a time the Satavahanas had to
give way and portions of Konkan and Northern Maharashtra were lost to them.
But very soon the Satavahanas drove out the foreigners from the Deccan and
restored freedom to the conquered provinces. The role of the Satavahanas in this
connection is comparable to that of the Vijayanagar empire in later times.

KINGS LIST OF SATAVAHANA
KINGS LIST OF SATAVAHANA
Gautamiputra (Sri Yagna) Sātakarni (also known as Shalivahan) (r. 78-106 CE)
Defeated.According to the Western Satrap ruler Nahapana, restoring the prestige
of his dynasty by reconquering a large part of the former dominions of the
Sātavāhanas.
He was an ardent supporter of Hinduism.According to the Nasik inscription made by
his mother Gautami Balasri, he is the one…who crushed down the pride and conceit
of the Kshatriyas (the native Indian princes, the Rajputs of Rajputana, Gujarat and
Central India); who destroyed the Shakas (Western Kshatrapas), Yavanas
(Indo-Greeks) and Pahlavas (Indo-Parthians),… who rooted the Khakharata
family (The Kshaharata family of Nahapana); who restored the glory of the
Satavahana
Chronology and geography are rightly stated to be the two eyes of history;
neither of themhowever enables us to get a clear glimpse of the Satavahana
history. There are wide differencesamong scholars both about the time when
the Satavahanas rose to power, as also about theiroriginal home. One school
holds that the Satavahanas established their power in the last quarter of
the 3rd century B.C.; the other opines that they began to rule in the second
quarter of the firstcentury B. C. One school holds that their home was
somewhere in Andhra country or Telangana ;the other holds that it lay
somewhere in Maharashtra, either in Western India or near Pratisthana
,their traditional capital. It will be convenient to settle these controversial
points before we proceed togive an account of the history of the dynasty.

Roots of satavanhana
LIST OF KINGS IN SCHOLAR VIEW
Roots of satavanhana ???
In the first edition of this work, R. G. Bhandarkar had advanced the
view that the rise of the Satavahana power should be placed during
the second quarter of the first century B. C.1 This view
has been subsequently accepted by D. R. Bhandarkar2, H. C. Roy
Chaudhuri 3 and D. C. Sircar.
The arguments in favour of this view are not without weight. The most
cogent evidence insupport of this theory is the unanimous statement of
the Puranas that Simuka, the first Andhra (i.e.Satavahana king),
will rise to power after overthrowing the last Kanva ruler Susarman and
destroying what remained of the Shunga power5. It is generally assumed
that the Shungas ruledfrom c. 187 to 75 B. C. and the Kanvas from c.
75 to 30 B. C. It is therefore maintained by thisschool that the rise of
Simuka, the founder of the Satavahana dynasty, should be placed in the third
quarter of the first century B.C.
This would lead to the conclusion that the dynasty ruled for about two
and a half centuriesonly; we can now well understand why one Puranic
tradition asserts in round number that the rule ofthe Satavahanas lasted
for three centuries only.
Normally speaking about 17 or 18 kings only can flourish during this period,
and we ca nnow well understand why one Puranic tradition enumerates
18 Andhra kings only.
If we assume that the Satavahana dynasty consisted of about
thirty kings who ruled for about 450 years, we have to assume a
big gap of about 150 years between the earlier and later Satavahana
kings, known to us from inscriptions3and coins. This gap disappears
almost altogether I fwe place the rise of Simuka in c. 30 B.C.
R. P. Chanda has drawn attention to the palaeographical difficulties in
accepting the theory that Satakarni, the 3rd Satavahana
My view is that when Puranas shed light ,when there is no other
evidence present

SATAVAHANA PAPER DEDICATED TO TELANGANA PEOPLE
MY RESEARCH PAPER DEDICATED TELANGANA PEOPLE
Cant we accept the theory of puranas of 29 kings ,which was
Corraberated by all puranas not one in same pattern except minor
Differences, now and then we get coins of some new rulers .
There are instances that only numismatic evidence which give
us proofssome unknown dynasties and kings so refute in this
point with some scholars.
Being numismatist I have seen lot of instances like this ,last
Decade,We have not seen many chera coins now we have
seeing many new varietiesOf chera coins.Hope some day
we will get a big hoard of coins of rulers with unknown
kings of satavanahas in tune with Puranas?
The Puranas like Matsya, Vayu, Vishnu, Bhagvata and Brahmanda
provide important, if confusing, data for the reconstruction of the
Satavahana history. Literary works like Brihatkatha of Gunadya,
Gathasaptasati of Hala, or Lilavati yield useful information on the
period. Foreign literary sources like the ‘Indica’ of Megastanese,
Pliny’s ‘Natural History’, the ‘Periplus of the Erythrean Sea’ or the
‘Geography’ of Ptolemy provide useful sources of information.
The study of the Satavahana coins, particularly the Jogalthambi
hoard of Nahapana’s coins, most of them restruck by Gautamiputra
Satakarni, can help the historian of the period. The Satavahana
inscriptions, all of them inscribed on stone, provide valuable data
for the reconstruction of their history

SATAVAHANA KINGS
The Sātavāhana kings are also remarkable for their contributions to Buddhist art and architecture. They built great stupas in the Krishna River Valley, including the stupa at Amaravati in Andhra Pradesh. The stupas were decorated in marble slabs and sculpted with scenes from the life of the Buddha, portrayed in a characteristic slim and elegant style. The Satavahana empire colonized southeast Asia and spread Indian culture to those parts. Mahayana Buddhism, which may have originated in Andhra (northwestern India being the alternative candidate), was carried to many parts of Asia by the rich maritime culture of the Satavahanas. The Amaravati style of sculpture spread to Southeast Asia at this time.
The Satavahanas contributed greatly to the embellishment of the Buddhist stupa of Sanchi. The gateways and the balustrade were built after 70 BCE, and appear to have been commissioned by them. An inscription records the gift of one of the top architraves of the Southern Gateway by the artisans of the Satavahana king Satakarni:
Gift of Ananda, the son of Vasithi, the foreman of the artisans of rajan Siri Satakarni
Throughout, the Buddhist art of the Satavahanas remained aniconic, denying any human representation of the Buddha, even in highly descriptive scenes. This remained true until the end of the Satavahana rule, in the 2nd century CE.

The Satavahanas ruled a large and powerful empire that withstood the onslaughts from Central Asia. Aside from their military power, their commercialism and naval activity is evidenced by establishment of Indian colonies in southeast Asia for the first time in history
There are divergent views regarding the starting period of the Satavahana chronology and the total duration of the dynasty. According to D. R.

WHO IS ASAFJAHI First king Mir Kamaruddin Asaf Jahis
WHO IS ASAFJAHI First king Mir Kamaruddin
Asaf Jahis
The founder of this dynasty was one Mir Kamaruddin, a noble and a courtier of the Mughal Muhammad Shah, who negotiated for a peace treaty with Nadirshah, the Iranian invader; got disgusted with the intrigues that prevailed in Delhi. He was on his way back to the Deccan, where, earlier he was a Subedar. But he had to confront Mubariz Khan, as a result of a plot by the Mughal emperor to kill the former. Mubariz Khan failed in his attempt and he was himself slain. This took place in A.D.1724, and henceforth Mir Kamaruddin, who assumed the title of Nizam-ul-Mulk, conducted himself as an independent prince. Earlier, while he was one of the Ministers of the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah, the latter conferred on him the title of Asaf Jah. Thus begins the Asaf Jahi rule over Golconda with the capital at Aurangabad. It was only during Nizam II rule that the capital of the Deccan Subha was shifted to Hyderabad reviving its importance.
The Asafjahi Nizams are generally counted as seven, though they were ten. Nasir Jung and Muzaffar Jung, son and grandson of the Nizam I who were killed by the Kurnool and Cuddapah Nawabs and Salabatjung who also ruled for a decade, were not counted by the historians though the Mughal emperors at Delhi recognised them as Subedars of the Deccan.
The Nizams of Asafjahi dynasty who ruled the Deccan are the following:
(1) Mir Kamaruddin (Nizam-ul-Mulk - Asaf Jah I) (A.D.1724--1748), (2) Nasir Jung (A.D. 1748--1751), (3) Muzaffar Jung (A.D.1750--1751), (4) Salabat Jung (AD.1751--1761), (5) Nizam Ali Khan - Asaf Jah II (A.D.1762--1803), (6) Nizam III Sikandar Jah (A.D.1803--1829), (7) Nizam IV -- Nasir-ud-Daula (A.D.1829--1857), (8) Nizam V -- Afzal-ud-Daula (A.D.1857--1869), (9) Nizam VI -- Mir Mahaboob Ali Khan (A.D.1869--1911), and (10) Nizam VII -- Mir Osman Ali Khan (AD.1911--1948 September).

Facts about Hyderabad,Asafjahis
Facts about Hyderabad,Asafjahis
Though Hyderabad was founded in A.D.1590--91 and built by Muhammad Quli, the fifth king of the Qutbshahi dynasty, it was a princely capital under them. The pomp and peagantry of the fabulous Asafjahi Nizams gained an all-India importance as well as World wide recognition. The rule of the Nizams lasted not only for a much longer period from A.D.1724 to 1948 but also concerned a large territory with diverse language groups that came under their sway.
The authority of the founder of the State of Hyderabad, Asafjah I, extended from Narmada to Trichinapally and from Machilipatnam to Bijapur. During the period of Afzal-ud-Daula (A.D.1857--1869) it was estimated to be 95,337 sq.miles (2,46,922.83 sq.kms.), forming a lateral square of more than 450 miles (724.17 kms.) each way.
After Nizam I, Asaf Jah, died in A.D.1748, there was tussle for power among his son, Nasar Jung, and grandson Muzaffar Jung. The English supported Nasar Jung whereas Muzaffar Jung got support from the French. These two heirs were subsequently killed by Nawabs of Kurnool and Cuddapah, one after another, in A.D.1750 and AD.1751 respectively. The third son of Nizam I, Salabat Jung became the ruler as Nizam under the support of the French.
