History
The word Kannada originates from the Kannada word “Karu” meaning Kali or high and “Nadu” means land or territory. Which consists of “Karunadu” which means Kali Bhoomi or High Land. In British times, the term “karnatic” was used here for the land south of the Krishna River, which is the term “apricot” of Karnataka.
The gold discovered in the Harappan civilization originated from the mines of Karnataka. Which historians consider to be a mutual connection between Karnataka and Indus civilization of 3000 BC. Karnataka state was under “Nanda dynasty” even before 3rd century BC Later it was under Emperor Ashoka of Maurya dynasty. Satavahana dynasty ruled Karnataka state for four centuries. After this the Kadamba dynasty which was founded by Mayur Sharma in 345 AD made “Banavasi” their capital.Then came the rise of the Western Ganga dynasty, which was founded by Kanganivarman Madhav on 350 AD with “Talakad” as his capital. According to the “Halmidi inscriptions” and “Tamra Mudra” found in the “Banavasi” in the 5th century, these were the first instances of Kannada speaking in state administration. The Western Chalukya dynasty, the Rashtrakutas of Manyakhet and the Badami Chalukya dynasty were these royal Kannada kingdoms. Karnataka was ruled by Chola dynasty till 990–1210 AD. In which Rajaraja Chola I ruled from 985–1014AD, after which his son Rajendra Chola I ruled from 1014–1044. After the defeat of the Chalukya dynasty ruler Jaisingh by Rajendra Chola I, the border on the Tungabhadra River was fixed between the two states. After this, Rajadhiraj Chola I ruled from 1042–1056AD and seized the Chalukya capital Kalyani along with many parts of the Chalukya kingdom. After this, in 1053, Rajendra Chola Dwyavita defeated the Chalukyas and built a victory monument in the capital of Ganga “Gangakondacholapuram”. In 1066, the Chola ruler Veerarajendra once again defeated the army of the Chalukya Someswara and built a victory monument on the banks of the Tungabhadra River.
In the early 14th century, Bukka Roy and Harihar established the Vijayanagara kingdom and established their capital at Hosnapatta on the Tungabhadra River. This empire kept Muslim rulers from expanding themselves in South India for two centuries. In 1565, the Vijayanagara Empire fell under the Islamic Sultanate following the defeat in the Battle of Talkot.
