Kamataka enjoys for the first time the privilege<br />
of holding a session of the Indian National Congress<br />
within her borders. The province has therefore come<br />
to occupy a positi,)J1 of importance. Until recently<br />

The boundary of Karnataka, marked by thin straight lincs.<br />
may only be taken as approximately marking the limits of the<br />
Kannada speaking people. It does not follow the Congress<br />
diyision. Suggestions for rendering it accurate will be thankfully<br />
received.

three parts; the cost strip the Malellad and the Bailu<br />
SlillC. The hill country or Mtliellad confined to the<br />
tract bordering or resting on the \Vestern Ghats is a<br />
picturesque land of mountain and forest presenting the<br />
most di\'ersified and beautiful scenel-y. The more open<br />
country called Bailusil11c is in the east. The average<br />
height of the country is about 2000 ft. in the south<br />
and J 500 ft. in the north. The southern plateau lies<br />
like a wedge between the \Vestern and ]ly follows the slImmer<br />
season. It will be helpful in cooling the parched<br />
lip land alld making the pastures green. Soon after the<br />
lirst showers are got in May, the whole country will<br />
be up ,Ilia will be very busy in tilling ;md sowing. The<br />
staple foods ragi, jola and pulsps are grown. During<br />
this monsoon on the crest of the \Veslern Ghats there<br />
will be as heavy a rain fall as 300 inches. The excessive<br />

Bababudan hill, while Sl'ingeri or SI in;..(agiri is intimately<br />
connected with Vibhandaka and Hishya Sringa.<br />
Such movements of the Hishis must have taken<br />
place very early, probably even in the Age of the<br />
Brahm:ll1as. The Rishis in the south were continually<br />
disturbed and molested in their life of study, prayer<br />
and sacrifice, and to protect thcm the Kshatriyas of the<br />
Solar and Lunar dynasties had to undertake expeditions,<br />
The Epic u;..(e should ha\'e witnessed these conquering<br />
expec1itions. The Ramayana and (he l\fahabharata<br />
narrate the camp;li;..(ns of Sri Rama, Arjuna and<br />
Sahadc\'a in the sonth, and it should not be suppose,]<br />
that those two epics are full or exact in these particulars.<br />

That was only the immediate result. There were<br />
other results marc permanent and more important<br />
though more slow in fllltilment. In the wholesale and<br />
permanent conquest of one people by another, tl'lere b<br />
bOllnd to be a clash of cultures and civilisations, and<br />
very naturally, the conquerors prevail in everything and<br />
everywhere. Only when the conquered civilisation is<br />
intrinsically superior is there the chance of the captive<br />
capturing the captor. The Dravidian cidlisation was<br />
by no means a weak or despicable one, though<br />

power. Dynastic dissensions along with the probable<br />

their power. Finally in about 516 A.D .. they were<br />
conquered by Kirtivarman I of Badami, and made<br />

of these centuries, as the history takO's on a<br />

power. The Aryan settlement in Karuatak:l as plsewhere<br />
brought in the Aryan civilisation and j.!ave those<br />
general features of cultlll'e Col1lmon to all India. The<br />
ancient Dravidian culture, such as it W:lS, went under<br />
but did not completely (Iisappear. A fllsion where the<br />
Aryan element predominated was natural alJd it was<br />
at slIch a tillle that the Mauryan and Satavahana dyna·<br />
sties held sway. Th .. Mauryan anel Sata\'ahana periods<br />
lI,hich may be called Buddhiotic for purposes of convellience<br />

Buddhism formed a large part of popular life. but in the<br />

THE MEDIEVAL AGE<br />
THE CHALUKYAS OF BADAMI<br />
550-750 A.D<br />
It has been seen already that the Kadambas and<br />
other dynasties were conquered by the Chalukyas. But<br />
the real antagonists of the Chalukyas were not those<br />
minor dynasties but the Pallavas who were ruling over<br />
practically all the northern P:lrt of the Dakhan. TIle<br />
Chalukyas had in their efforts at expansion necessarily<br />
to encounter and overcome their opposition and confine<br />
them to the southeast part of the Dakhan. Therefore<br />
t.his period is generally characterised hy a conflict<br />
with the Palbvas who had made Kanchi their headquarters.<br />
These Chaluk)'as are distinctively ca\1ed the Early<br />
Chalukyas or the Western Challlkyas of B:tdami to<br />
distinj.(llish them from the Later and the Eastern Chalukyas.<br />
Badami or Vatapi near BijapU1' was thc)[<br />
chief city. A tradition has it that they were origina\1y<br />
in Ayodhya and mij.(rated thence to Karnataka, while a<br />
legend describes their orij.(in by narrating how Indra<br />
went with a complaint about the fallen state of the<br />
earth to Brahma, how Brahma angrily looked into his<br />
clzulttka and how the eponynl0US Challlkya hero was<br />
born from the cltltlllka anu derived his name therefrom.<br />
Harita and Manavyasa reckoned as ancestors by<br />
the Chalukyas, are said to have been born in that hero's<br />
family and given prominence to it. It is enough to<br />
remember that the Chalukyas looked upon themselves<br />
as Sol"r princes and worshipped Krtrtikeya.
HISTORY S3<br />
Buddhism did not disappeal' but the new Hinduism<br />
exposed by the Puranas and foundcd on vedic ritual<br />
slowly absorbed it allll therefore the Chalukya family<br />
might be said to begin a new age in the history of the<br />
province. In other respects too it was under the sway<br />
of the Chalukyas Gangas and Rashtrakutas that Kamataka<br />
hecame Kamataka lU1d as such the four centuries<br />
from the 6th to the 10th mBst be regarded as very<br />
important.<br />
In the political fidd the age was characterised by<br />
a striving to\nrds unity and rivalry with thc eastern<br />
power. The Palla vas Were general enemies in the<br />
earlier as the Cholas became such in the later part of<br />
tlJe period. Betwcen the three important Kamataka<br />
dynasties thel'e was an effort towards all-<strong>karnataka</strong><br />
sovereignty. denoted by their several efforts at supremacy.<br />
Tbis struggle for supremacy engaged the<br />
fighting classes and called forth a development of their<br />
heroic qualities. It was a period when kings and<br />
priuces tried to rival each other in adhering to Dharma<br />
and acqniring glory and as such it may be called H1e<br />
heroic age of Karnataka historr. The struggle and<br />
occnpation of war was confined only to a section of the<br />
people, most of whom persned their occupations in<br />
peace and prosperity. Once estabalished as masters of<br />
the province, the mlers tried to establish their supremacy<br />
permanently by subjecting their southern neighbours<br />
and sometimes competing with the northern<br />
rulers as in the case of Pulikesin II and Indra Ill.<br />
Such an age of heroism and prosperity naturally<br />
elevated the aspirations of the people and the artistic

spite of the bitterness that ensued hetwe('11 the t\,,{,<br />
communities as a result, it must lJe said that the spirit<br />
of tolerance and hospitality pI'evailed in the en,1. The<br />
introduction of Vaishnavism had very f:1r.r('aching<br />
effects. Bittideva must also be remembE'rf'u as a patron<br />
of letters. Nagachandra, Raja(Jitya, Vishnudandadhipa,<br />
Sall1antahanta nnd tbe poetess Kanti adol'lled his COllI'!.<br />
Bittideva's reign ended in 1132 and then his son<br />
Narasimha ruled for some years. But after Bittideva, thfl<br />
next sovereign of note was his 'grandson jTira Ballala<br />
who came to power in 1173. He fonnd himself ahle<br />
to nndertake further extension of the king:dom and<br />
led expeditions against the Kalachuryas, Chalukras<br />
and Yadavas in the north, and the Cholas and the<br />
Pandyas ill the south. The ri vel' Krishna was recog·<br />
nised as the northern bonnJarr after a dl'cisive<br />
defeat inflcted on the Yadava king:. Lokkigllndi or<br />
modern Lakknndi was made a royal city in thf> north<br />
and the titles Sallivarasiddhi, and Giridt41'/!flllla/lc wel'P<br />

The Chola killgdom was 1I0W in degenerate days<br />
'1no was fast approaching dissolution. Vira Ballala had<br />
married a Chola princess which gave him a right to<br />
interfere ;n Chola affairs and it was taken full advantage<br />
of by his son Vira Narasimha who even as Yuyaraj!l<br />
had defeated the southern powers and set up a pillar<br />
of victory at Rllmeswaram. VIRA N ARA8IMHA when<br />

we have to conclude that music had attained a<br />
high development and that popular entertainments had<br />
due recognition and encouragement. The famous Sarngadeva,<br />
author of a treatise on lDusic was a courtier of<br />

taka seems to have been the habitation of the N flga tribe<br />
often referred to in the lI1ahabharata. and tradition has<br />
it that the • N agalaka' in which Arjuna sojourned<br />
during his wanderings, and wh€'re he married U1upi is<br />
in Karnataka. We have inscriptional evidence to show<br />
that a portion of Karnataka \Vas called ',Yagarak/rantia'.<br />
The Aryan immigration into SO!Jth India brought<br />
the influence of the Vedic faith to the southern coun·<br />
tries. Karnataka presen'es the tradition of hermitages<br />
founded by Agastya,Bharadwaja, Kanwa and the ancient<br />
Aryan rishis.The sojourn of Sri Ramachandr'a in what is<br />
now Karnataka, as cont;]ined in the Kishkindha kalida<br />
is still a green memory in this province. The !tJiI/rabharata<br />
contains accounts of the travels of Arjllua in the<br />
South, and conquests made by Sahadeva, and the Sablza<br />
Parva mentions the narr·es of South Indian ;]11(1 Kamataka<br />
tribes who took presents to king Yndhishthira on<br />
the occasion of his Rajasuya sacrifice. Thou;:(h we mar<br />
not be able to fix the date of these immigrations and<br />
conquests, there can be no doubt that these traditions<br />
preserve for us the memories of actual historical events.<br />
By the age of the SlItras we may take it that Sanskrit<br />
had become a sacred language in Karnataka as in<br />
the north, and the modes of Aryan religious thought<br />
had penetrated here.<br />
When we come to historical times, we first hear of<br />
Jainisrn and Buddhism spreading in Karnataka, as soon<br />
as ever they started on their propagandist career. These<br />
movements did not bring about any fresh racial fusion<br />
between the north and the south, worth taking into

the Swetambaras widened after this exodus of Bh;ldrabahu<br />
and his disciples, so that after the famine when<br />
some of the exiles returned north, they founel th;lt a<br />
Jain synod had sanctioned certain reforms which the<br />
orthodox exiles considered heretic. The Jain faith has<br />
much in common with the philosophy and practice of<br />
ascetic Hinduism. It insists on the fact that each<br />
individu;ll has to work out his o\\'n destiny, that<br />
immortality might be gained by eyery living being by<br />
living a life of rectitude. It draws no dividing line between<br />
the sentient anc! the insentient, bnt postulates the<br />
presence of spirit ill all matter. It accepts the authority<br />
of no revelation, but substitutes in the place of Veda the<br />
example of the 'worthy ones' (arlzals). who haye re;lehed<br />
perfection. This rationalistic attitude and the emphasis<br />
on ethic;ll perfection found ready acceptance in the<br />
lanel, anc! Jainism being a missionary faith and :>.ddressed<br />
to all, Aryan or non Aryan alike, began to sprt!ad widely.<br />
Its contribution to the buildinj..( lip of early South Indian<br />
culture generally is very j..(reat; but its influence on the<br />
early life of Karnataka is almost unique. Since the begining<br />
of the Christian era to more than ten centuries ;lfter,<br />
it was the Jain ascetic that was. the exemplar of religious<br />
life, the Jain man of letters that dicated the taste<br />
in Kannada literature, the Jain artist and artisan that<br />
beautified the land. The Vedic faiths doubtless existed<br />
side by side, but it was the enterprising Jain who<br />
moulded higher life and thought in the country, because<br />
it was his influence that predominated in the royal<br />
household among the Kadambas, the Satav:lhanas,<br />
the Gangas, the Ch;\Iukyas, the Rashtrakntas, and to

The introduction of printing, the pursuits of modern<br />
methods of historical research and literary criticism.<br />
the rich modern literature of modern vernaculars like<br />
Bengali, Mal'athi and Telugu, the formation of literary<br />
associations, and the recent Indian awakening generally<br />
have all stimulated in Karnataka the production of<br />
Vernacular literature, and created a laudable spirit of<br />
emulation, and a growing desire to seek through the<br />
unification of her dismembered body the spirit and<br />
vitality that have fled from it, so that she too might march<br />
