SHORT ESSAY ON PALLAVA DYNASTY KINGDOM FOR CLASS 6

Answer 1

Answer:

Is this enough?

Explanation:

The end of the third century AD marks the beginning of a new epoch in the history of the south. The Sangam dynasties disappeared and the Andhra- Satavahana empire went out of existence. The erstwhile Chola region was divided between the Pallavas to the north of the Kaveri River and Pandyas to the south.

However, from the beginning of the fourth century AD to the middle of the sixth century AD the history of the Tamil region remained obscure. A proper documented history again starts from the middle of the sixth century AD with the establishment of Pallava power.

There are many views regarding the origin of the Pallavas. Many have treated the name Pallava as a variant of Pahlava who were of Scythian origin. Many others have sought to connect them with Jaffana, identified with the island of Manipallavam mentioned in the Manimekalai. Pallava is a Sanskrit word meaning tender shoots and leaves of a plant.
