Telangana State, India Abstract Historians earlier treated the medieval period of Andhradesa History as a great phase. It was so because, during this time, the whole country was divided into numerous regional states that were busy getting. However, recent studies have indicated that, though politically divided, India witnessed a growth of new and rich cultural activities in art, literature and language. In fact, some best specimens of temple architecture and Indian literature belong to this period. Thus, far from being emphdark, it may be treated as a bright and vibrant phase of Indian History. This research paper’s main objectives are to identify the various regional kingdoms that emerged during AD 1000 and AD 1687; examine the nature of the states; highlight the social and economic changes; evaluate the cultural activities; and more. Keywords:Social History, Cultural Identity, Princely States, Conquering Politics, State Craft Political Mobilization, Medieval Power Structure. Introduction Statement of Problem “Some have argued that as language is the medium of knowledge, that which comes in the form of language constitutes a text; since language is interpreted by the individual, the reading by the individual gives meaning to the text; therefore, each time a text is read by a different individual it acquires a fresh meaning.

  • A Case Study of Cultural History of Harapanahalli in the Kannada Inscriptions of the Taluk”
    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 2 April 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 “A case study of cultural history of Harapanahalli in the Kannada inscriptions of the taluk” Prof. M.Vijaykumar Asst Professor Government First Grade College – Harapanahalli Abstarct: Harapanahalli region played an important role keeping intact Kananda language and culture. It was center of various empires imporatnat ones being Western Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas,Vijayanagara. The present paper seeks to unravel these aspects through study of cultural history of Harapanahalli in the Kannada inscriptions of the taluk.The Western Chalukyas played an important role in art and cultrure development in the region.The Western Chalukyas developed an architectural style known today as a transitional style, an architectural link between the style of the early Chalukya dynasty and that of the later Hoysala empire. Most of its monuments are in the districts bordering the Tungabhadra River in central Karnataka. Well known examples are the theMallikarjuna Temple at Kuruvatti, the Kallesvara Temple at Bagali and the Mahadeva Temple at Itagi. This was an important period in the development of fine arts in Southern India, especially in literature as the Western Chalukya kings encouraged writers in the native language Kannada, and Sanskrit.Knowledge of Western Chalukya history has come through examination of the numerous Kannada language inscriptions left by the kings (scholars Sheldon Pollock and Jan Houben have claimed 90 percent of the Chalukyan royal inscriptions are in Kannada), and from the study of important contemporary literary documents in Western Chalukya literature such as GadaYuddha (982) in Kannada by Ranna and VikramankadevaCharitam (1120) in Sanskrit by Bilhana.

  • Vijayanagar Art and Architecture an Overview
    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 4 November 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Vijayanagar art and architecture an overview Dr Anand.B Asst Professor of History Govt First Grade College – Sunkalbidari Abstract The Vijayanagar Empire was a Hindu empire based in the Deccan plateau region of South India. Established in 1336 by Harihara I (who ruled from 1336–1356 CE), it enjoyed its greatest political and cultural prominence under Emperor Krishna Deva Raya (who ruled from 1509–1529 CE) and lasted until 1646, when it was conquered by the Muslim Sultans of Bijapur and Golkonda. The empire’s patronage enabled its fine arts and literature to rise to new heights, and its legacy of sculpture, painting, and architecture influenced the development of the arts in South India long after the empire came to an end. There were great innovations in Hindu temple construction during this period, and many diverse temple building traditions and styles in South India came together in the Vijayanagar style of architecture, the finest examples of which are to be found in the capital Hampi.Vijayanagar era architecture can be broadly classified into religious, courtly, and civic architecture. Its style is a harmonious combination of the Chalukya, Hoysala, Pandya, and Chola styles that evolved in earlier centuries and represents a return to the simplicity and serenity of the past. Preferred for its durability, local hard granite was the building material of choice, as it had been for the Badami Chalukyas; however, soapstone, which was soft and easily carved, was

  • On the Emergence of Tragedy in Kannada Literature T.S
    Translation and Reception as a Cultural Process: On the Emergence of Tragedy in Kannada Literature T.S. SATYANATH* Although translation is generally considered as a literary process, it involves a series of cultural maneuvers by the cultures involved in the process, both ideologically and otherwise. The absence of tragedy as a genre in Indian literature has generally prompted scholars to perceive the emergence of tragedy in Indian literature variously as influence, reception, emergence of a new genre etc. However, a closer look at the controversies, debates, criticisms and experimentations and the changes in parallel native performing traditions reveal interesting cultural maneuvers undertaken by different groups of people in responding to the genre of tragedy, which also needs to be looked at as a part of the translation process. The paper attempts to probleinatize the issue by going through different modes of representations attempted in the history of modern Kannada literature, particularly during the period 1920-50, which constitutes the formation period for the genre. The problem has been approached from six different perspectives. 1. The early translations of tragedies. 2. Controversies that surrounded the early translations. 3. Attempts to create an appropriate aesthetics (sensibility) to appreciate the new genre. 4. Attempts to demonstrate the existence of tragic elements in Indian literature. 5. Attempts to demonstrate the existence of tragic heroes in Jaina literature, specifically in medieval Kannada epics. 6. The tragic nature in Kannada folk performing traditions. The paper argues for a need to understand translation as a process of cultural production and consumption rather than as a literary one.
