SangamPeriod : Chronology of the Sangam - Early Pandyas – Administration, Economy, Trade and Commerce - Society - Religion - Art and Architecture. INFLUENCE OF GEOGRAPHY AND TOPOGRPAHY ON THE HISTORY OF TAMILNADU Geography governs history. The geographical features of a country like coastal lines, mountains, rivers, rainfalls, climate, irrigation and natural resources, determine the political, social, cultural and economic life of its people. Likewise, nature influences the choice of occupations, mental and physical efficiency, standard of life, social customs and institutions of the people. Geography dominates man and he is largely subject to it. For instance, the British, the Greek and the Tamils established empires and colonies beyond the sea mainly due to their sea faring tendency. Geography also shapes the history of people from time to time. History proves that in the plains, empires were established. Whereas, in the hills and deserts petty kingdoms were founded. Likewise, the people who live in cold places are more active and those in. hot places are easily tired. Thus geography has a vital share in moulding the history of people. Tamil Nadu is the land of Tamil-speaking people. It is situated in the southern most part of the Indian Sub-Continent. The Tamils of the third Sangam occupied the present states of Kerala, Karnataka, Andrapradesh and Tamil Nadu. .It had natural boundaries. Tamil Nadu was bounded on, the south by the Indian Ocean, on the west by the Arabian Sea, on the east by Bay of Bengal and on the north-east by the Tirupati hills and on the north and north west by the Mysore Plateau. A small island of Ceylon is situated to the south east of peninsular India. At Kanyakumari, the three seas merge and it symbolishes unity. It is a place of pilgrimage. Pilgrims appear to have kept alive the link between north and south India. Geographical Division Geography of the Tamil land influenced the Tamils of the Sangam period, to a large extent. According to Tblkappiyam, the Tamil speaking people were divided into four major Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Directorate of Distance & Continuing Education, Tirunelveli. 3 divisions based on the geographical auditions. They were the people of the mountain (Kuringi), of the forest (Mullai), of the plain (Marudom) and of the sea coast (Neidal), Towards the end of the sangam epch, the Tamil added one more division, ie. paalai (Desert). People Jed different, ways of life and different cultures evolved in these regions. Historical Division Historically, TamiSaham was divided into four major divisions - Paodyanadu, Gholanadu, Cheranadu and Pallavanadu. They were ruled by Pandya, Chola, Chera and Pallava inters respectively Madurai was the important city of Tamils. Tamil academy flourished at Madurai. Western ghats and Eastern ghats. Tamilaham is triangular in shape. The Decean is a plateau and its western edge is a steep brink called the Western Ghats. The Plateau has a graduall fall to the lower brinks aiding in the Eastern Ghats. The Western ghats and the eastern ghats run parallel to the west and east coasts of the Peninsula. The Western ghats form an excellent natural, frontier. A gigantic sea wall, from Kasarkodu in the north, to Aralvaioli in the South forms another natural frontier. The Eastern ghats and western ghats meet at Nilgris. The Doddabetta a peak in the Nilgris is 8760 feet in height. Nilgris receives abundant rainfall and it is famous for its luxurious vegetation and excellent scenary. South of the Nilgris is the famous Palghat gap which is about twenty miles from north to south. It forms the main entrance from the Camatic to the Malabar Coast. South of Palghat gap, there is the famous Anaimalai. It has a peak with the height of 8841 feet. This is one of the highest peaks in South India. The Western Ghats continue south from this gap as far as Cape Cormorin. Aramboli and Shencottah are the passes found on the terminus of the Western hills. These passes provide routes between Travancore and Pandyan Kingdom. All the rivers that flow towards Tamil Nadu originate from the Western Ghats Ooty. Kunoor, Kotagiri. Erkad and Kodaikkanal are some of the important hill stations existing on these hills. Again, Palani, Madurai, Anaimalai, Satyamangalam, Thekkadi', Dimbam and Pollachi are the important places located on the southern part of this ghats. Valuable, teak, rose-wood, coffee, pepper are grown abundantly in these areas. These hilly areas have been the dwelling places of the tribal people like Kadar, Irular, Pulayar and Muduvar. Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Directorate of Distance & Continuing Education, Tirunelveli. 4 The Eastern ghats is not so attractive as the western ghats. They are scattered and broken. Geologically, they seems to be distinctly older than the western ghats. They are different in productivity and scenery. The detached and discontinuous nature of the hills provided free intercourse between the plateau and coastal plain. Most of the rivers of Tamil Nadu flow towards Bay of Bengal, cutting across the Eastern ghats. River System Tamilaham has a fine river System, Karviri, Palar, Vaigai, Pennar, Vellar, Tamiraparani, Paraliyar, Bharathappuzha and Periyar are the important rivers in Tamil Nadu. Though, they are short in length and small in size, they supply a substantial amount of water needed for cultivation. The Kaviri known as the 'South Indian Ganges' is famous for its sacred character, beautiful scenary and the maximum use of its water. It was celebrated in Tamil literature and history. It runs 475

Wilkinson: Configurations of the Indic States System 63 CONFIGURATIONS OF THE INDIC STATES SYSTEM David Wilkinson In his essay "De systematibus civitatum," Martin Wight sought to clari- fy Pufendorfs concept of states-systems, and in doing so "to formulate some of the questions or propositions which a comparative study of states-systems would examine." (1977:22) "States system" is variously defined, with variation especially as to the degrees of common purpose, unity of action, and mutually recognized legitima- cy thought to be properly entailed by that concept. As cited by Wight (1977:21-23), Heeren's concept is federal, Pufendorfs confederal, Wight's own one rather of mutuality of recognized legitimate independence. Montague Bernard's minimal definition—"a group of states having relations more or less permanent with one another"—begs no questions, and is adopted in this article. Wight's essay poses a rich menu of questions for the comparative study of states systems.

Abstract The land of Tamil speech and people was in ancient times ruled by three famous lines of king, the Chera, Chola, and Pandiya. The land ruled by them was called Chera Nadu (Chera country), Chola Nadu (Chola country), and Pandiya Nadu (Pandiaya country) respectively. The landmass covered by the present-day Kerala State in the South India formed a major part of Chera Nadu, the Central and Northern parts of present Tamil Nadu were the then Chola Nadu and the Southern part of Tamil Nadu was the Pandiya Nadu. Tamils are of Dravidian origin. Many historians claim that the Dravidians, before the dawn of the history of the Tamils, were spread all over India. For various reason they split into small groups. Consequently, the original language also split into different languages. Tamil is found to have retained about 80 per cent of the features of the original Dravidian language.There are three major sub-groups in the Dravidian family of language, namely, South Dravidian, Central Dravidian, and North Dravidian. Internet based Tamil resources to Tamil communities living in different part of globe as well as others interested learn in Tamil.

Introduction The period from C.300 CE to 750 CE marks the second historical phase in the regions south of the Vindhyas. In the first phase we notice the ascendency of the Satavahanas over the Deccan and that of the Sangam Age Kingdoms in Southern Tamilnadu. In these areas and also in Vidarbha from 3rd Century to 6th Century CE there arose about two dozen states which are known to us from their land charters. In Northern Maharashtra and Vidarbha (Berar) the Satavahanas were succeeded by the Vakatakas. Their political history is of more importance to the North India than the South India. But culturally the Vakataka kingdom became a channel for transmitting Brahmanical ideas and social institutions to the South. The Vakataka power was followed by that of the Chalukyas of Badami who played an important role in the history of the Deccan and South India for about two centuries until 753 CE when they were overthrown by their feudatories, the Rashtrakutas. The eastern part of the Satavahana Kingdom, the Deltas of the Krishna and the Godavari had been conquered by the Ikshvaku dynasty in the 3rd Century CE.

The Cholas, known worldwide for their bronze sculptures, world heritage temples and land reforms, were also able builders. They followed a traditional systematic approach called Vaastu Sastra in building their cities, towns, and villages. In an attempt to discover and reconstruct Gangaikonda Cholapuram, an administrative capital (metropolis) of the Chola Dynasty, evidence is collected from the fragments of living inscriptions, epigraphs, archaeological excavation, secondary sources, and other sources pertinent to Vaastu Sastra. The research combines archival research methodology, archaeological documentation and informal architectural survey. The consolidation, analysis, and manipulation of data helps to uncover the urban infrastructure of Gangaikonda Cholapuram city.
