Full Description
Ancient History of the Deccan is a well-researched study of Deccan region during the years c. 261 bc, dating from the Kalinga War onwards, to approximately c. ad 610. There are almost no historical records documenting the period anterior to Asoka, while several historical documents are found covering the history of the Deccan, from ad 610 onwards, i.e. from the reign of Pulakesin II. Thus, this book attempts at filling the void caused by either inadequate information or complete lack of it, or even if available, these are sketchy and presented poorly, thereby posing a challenge for those interested in studying this period. The documents that do exist on these nine centuries, portray an era that was glorious, both historically and culturally, and therefore, warrant a comprehensive study. The book has covered the areas in the Deccan that falls within the Narmada and Mahanadi in the north; Bay of Bengal in the east; the Arabian Sea in the west; and Nilgiri Hills and southern Pennar in the south.
