Carbon dating on ash mounds associated with Neolithic cultures in South India date back to 8000 BCE. Artefacts such as ground stone axes, and minor copper objects have been found in the region. Towards the beginning of 1000 BCE, iron technologyspread through the region; however, there does not appear to be a fully developedBronze Age preceding the Iron Age in South India.[3] The region was in the middle of a trade route that extended from Muziris toArikamedu linking the Mediterranean and East Asia.[4][5] Trade with Phoenicians, Romans,Greeks, Arabs, Syrians, Jews and Chinesebegan from the Sangam period (c. 3rd century BC to c. 4th century AD).[6] The region was part of the ancient Silk Road connecting the Asian continent in the East and the West.[7]

Several dynasties such as the Cheras ofKaruvur, the Pandyas of Madurai, the Cholasof Thanjavur, the Satavahanas of Amaravati, the Pallavas of Kanchi, the Kadambas ofBanavasi, the Western Gangas of Kolar, theRashtrakutas of Manyakheta, the Chalukyasof Badami, the Hoysalas of Belur and theKakatiyas of Orugallu ruled over the region from 6th century B.C. to 14th century A.D. TheVijayanagara Empire, founded in 14th century A.D. was the last Indian dynasty that ruled over the region. After repeated invasions from the Sultanate of Delhi and the fall of Vijayanagara empire in 1646, the region was ruled by Deccan Sultanates, polygars andNayak governors of Vijayanagara empire who declared independence.[8]
