Question

Describe the contributions of the
satavahanas to the
history of south
India​

Answer 1

Answer:

In this article we will discuss about the contribution of South India to Indian Culture.

The region, south of the Vindhyas upto the Cape of Kanyakumari, has been called south India. Thus, the dividing line between the north and south India are the Vindhyas and their nearby forests. They have also obstructed free communication between the North and the South because of which all attempts to unite India under one rule during the ancient and medieval times failed.

That is why south India mostly remained free from the effects of the political changes in north India. But it does not mean that the North and the South remained entirely separated from each other. Emperor Asoka and Samudra Gupta of Magadha extended their empires and spheres of influence to the South. The same way the Rashtrakutas and the Cholas, from the South, attacked north India and temporarily influenced the politics of the North.

Answer 2

In the South, the first powerful empire was established by the Satavahanas in Maharashtra and their administrative system had a significant imprint of the administration of the Mauryas in the North. ... The South had extensive trade with foreign countries through sea routes which resulted in increased prosperity to India.
