Merge Kadambas and Kadamba

There are two pages related to the same dynasty. Please merge them together and retain the contents of "Kadambas" which is much more comprehensive.

Brahmin Heritage of Kadambas

The Brahmin ascendent have been question by a lot of historians. Do we need that?

Reply: Absolutely.There is sufficient proof to prove that. The Chandravalli inscription and the Talaguda

Inscription (450 CE)has proved it beyon doubt. I dont understand why some edits were made to take out info on their rule as feudatories of the Chalukyas and so on. I am reverting back. unless you can convince me why you dont think it should be there, i will let it be there.

If you know the names of scholars who disagree with the Brahmin heritage, put it in the page and provide verifiable reference or hold your peace. Scholars generally disagree based on personal view points and we need to provide all angles. Dont delete matter just because you think it shold not be there.

Also, please log in. Edits with out log in name can be considered "vandalism".

Plan of Action

Here is my plan of action for Kadamba page which I have been working on for most part. I intend to comprahensively build this page,

(this dynasty being the first native kingdom of Karnataka), by adding relevant info to the main kingdom - Kadambas of Banavasi (which the main page pertains to) and creating sub articles for Kadambas of Hanagal, Kadambas of Goa. Some info regarding other minor Kadamba clans will also pre presented (Kadambas from Bailnad, Belur, Halasi etc.). my sources will be,

  • Dr. George M. Moraes, "Kadamba Kula, A History of ancient and medieval Karnataka'', 1990
  • Dr. Suryanath U. Kamat, "A Concise history of Karnataka from pre-historic times to the present", Jupiter books, MCC, Bangalore, 2001 (Reprinted 2002)
  • K.V. Ramesh, "Chalukyas of Vatapi", 1984, Agam Kala Prakashan, Delhi.

I shall also be drawing info from other sources like

  • Prof K.A. Nilakanta Sastri, History of South India, From Prehistoric times to fall of Vijayanagar, 1955, OUP, New Delhi (Reprinted 2002), {{ISBN|019560686-8}}
  • Dr. Romila Thapar, The Penguin History of Early India, From Origin to 1300 AD., 2003, Penguin, New Delhi, {{ISBN|0-14-302989-4}}.
  • Dr. Malini Adiga, The Making of South Karnataka, Society, Polity and Culture in Early Medieval Period, AD 400-1030, 2006

This work will take atleast couple of months, considering the volume of work involved. Please be patient and direct all questions to my user page.Dineshkannambadi 18:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Please try to understand that editing Anon itself is like vandalism. I know you have not vandalised the material in the last few weeks but I realise you have tried to use this article as a sandbox in the past. It is you who is going to get blocked, not me.Dineshkannambadi 20:20, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Indo-Aryan?

Like a number of historical groups, how do we actually know that the Kadamba were Indo-Aryan? There is no evidence in the article --Maurice45 (talk) 11:58, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

The map shown seems a little incorrect

The Kadambas were contemporaries of the Gangas of Kolar. But the Kadambas Map shows including the Gangavadi region. It appears to me that is a bit of error. Moreover, there is no evidence of the Gangavadi region having significant influence of Kadamba rule except as neighbours. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yogica (talkcontribs) 07:15, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

What about Rattihalli?

The article is pretty informative, but seems to miss Rattihalli - a very important place of Kadambas. The temple at Rattihalli is even called Kadambeshwara temple. Must add the link to the place Rattihalli and the temple. It is a centrally protected temple (ASI).

I add the reference that informs that Rattihalli (Rattapalli, Rattipalli) was a Kadamba Capital. It comes from the Gazetteer of Dharwad 2002: Ch.2 (History), pg 63: "The Kadambas of Noorumbada...

The Kadambas were ruling as subordinates of the Kalyana Chalukyas over Noorumbada which included Rattapalli-70 and Ittige-30, the latter being a place in Ranibennur taluk and Rattihalli was its capital." [http://gazetteer.kar.nic.in/main.asp Karnataka Gazetteer] provides this information.

Assessment comment

{{Substituted comment|length=469|lastedit=20160622115058|comment=You have refferred "Mayurasharma" and not "Mayuravarma". I think the correct name should be "Mayuravarma" not "Mayurasharma".

Thanks & Regards
