Explanation:
People often speak of lndia south of the Vindhyas as South India or the Deccan. This
division has been made for a long time, indeed as early as ancient India when the area south
of the Vindhyas was called Dakshinapatha or the Southern Temtory. Dakhina became the
Dakkan of medieval tlmes, from which in turn the term Deccan is derived. But historians
and geographers have found it more useful to distinguish the Deccan proper from the rest of
south India. The Deccan consists of Maharashtra and northern Karnataka, and as far as the
double deltas of the Godavari and the Krishna Deccari was included in the Mauryan empire, the major chiefdoms of south India, i.e. those
of the Cholas, Pandyas, Cheras and Satiyaputras were friendly neighbours of the Mauryas.
In the post-Mauryan period, initially minor chiefs assuming the title of raja or King appeared in the Deccan and the Deccan was politically integrated by the Satavahanas who
called themselves 'Lords of the Deccan'. In the south, too, the chiefdoms were going
through important changes resulting in the emergence of State systems in the subsequent
period. In this Unit you shall be reading about the political situation which developed in the
Deccan from the post-Satavahana period (beginning of the third century A.D.) to the eighth
century A.D.
