The Aravidu Dynasty was the fourth and last Hindu dynasty of the Vijayanagara Empire in South India. Its founder was Tirumala Deva Raya, whose brother Rama Raya had been the masterful regent of the last ruler of the previous dynasty. Rama Raya's death at the Battle of Talikota in 1565 led to the subsequent destruction of Vijayanagar by the combined forces of the Muslim states of the Deccan. The Aravidu family claimed to be Kshatriyas and were based in Andhra region. They claimed to belong to the Atreya gotra and traced their lineage to the Eastern Chalukya king Rajaraja Narendra.

The rise of Pulakeshin II of the Badami Chalukyas.

EP01 | ಚಾಲುಕ್ಯರು | ಇಮ್ಮಡಿ ಪುಲಿಕೇಶಿಯ ರಂಗಪ್ರವೇಶ...

The Badami Chalukyas were the rock‑stars of early medieval South India (6th, 8th century). They kicked off the Chalukya dynasty from their capital at Badami (then Vatapi) in Karnataka. - *Founders*: Pulakeshin I carved out the kingdom around 540 CE; his son Karikala expanded it. - *Golden age*: Pulakeshin II (c. 610‑642) is the big name, he beat Harsha of Kannauj, took control of the Deccan, and even sent an embassy to the Persian king. - *Architecture*: They built the famous cave temples at Badami (cave 1‑4) and the early structural temples at Aihole and Pattadakal, think bold pillars, intricate carvings, and a mix of Dravidian & Nagara styles. - *Culture*: Patrons of art, literature, and both Hindu & Jain traditions. The poet‑king Ravikirti’s Aihole inscription is a key historical record. - *Legacy*: Their rule paved the way for the later Rashtrakutas and the Western Chalukyas, shaping the region’s political and cultural landscape for centuries.

How Veerappan kidnapped Dr. Rajkumar from the farmhouse at Gajanur in Tamil Nadu.

ಅಣ್ಣಾವ್ರನ್ನ ವೀರಪ್ಪನ್ ಕಿಡ್ನ್ಯಾಪ್ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದು ಹ್ಯಾಗೆ....

Veerappan, a notorious Indian forest brigand, kidnapped legendary Kannada actor Dr. Rajkumar on July 30, 2000, from his farmhouse in Gajanur, Tamil Nadu. The kidnapping was a shocking incident that strained relations between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, with millions of fans and two state governments on edge for 108 days. *Key Events of the Kidnapping:* - *The Abduction*: Veerappan and his armed gang attacked Rajkumar's farmhouse, taking the actor and his son-in-law, S.A. Govindaraj, hostage. Veerappan demanded ransom and made politically sensitive demands, including the release of 121 TADA detainees and recognition of Tamil as a second official language in Karnataka. - *Negotiations*: Tamil journalist Nakkheeran Gopal was appointed as the chief negotiator by the Tamil Nadu and Karnataka governments. After several rounds of negotiations, Rajkumar was released on November 15, 2000. - *Aftermath*: Although a police official claimed a ransom of 300 million rupees was paid for Rajkumar's release, the actor's family denied this allegation. Veerappan was eventually killed in an encounter with the Special Task Force in 2004. *The Court Case:* - *Acquittal*: In 2018, nine suspects accused of involvement in the kidnapping were acquitted by the Erode court due to lack of evidence. The court noted that the prosecution failed to prove the alleged nexus between Veerappan's gang and the accused ¹. The kidnapping and subsequent events remain a significant chapter in India's criminal history, highlighting Veerappan's notorious activities and the complexities of law enforcement ².
