[edit] Merge Kadambas and Kadamba

There are two pages related to the same dynasty. Please merge them together and retain the contents of "Kadambas" which is much more comprehensive.

[edit] Brahmin Heritage of Kadambas

The Brahmin ascendent have been question by a lot of historians. Do we need that?

Reply: Absolutely.There is sufficient proof to prove that. The Chandravalli inscription and the Talaguda Inscription (450 CE)has proved it beyon doubt. I dont understand why some edits were made to take out info on their rule as feudatories of the Chalukyas and so on. I am reverting back. unless you can convince me why you dont think it should be there, i will let it be there. If you know the names of scholars who disagree with the Brahmin heritage, put it in the page and provide verifiable reference or hold your peace. Scholars generally disagree based on personal view points and we need to provide all angles. Dont delete matter just because you think it shold not be there. Also, please log in. Edits with out log in name can be considered "vandalism". Dinesh Kannambadi

[edit] Origin of surname "Kadambi"

What the origin of the surname "Kadambi/Kidambi"? Does anyone know if it derives from "Kadamba"? Some Tamil (Iyengar) brahmins have this surname.

[edit] Plan of Action

Here is my plan of action for Kadamba page which I have been working on for most part. I intend to comprahensively build this page, (this dynasty being the first native kingdom of Karnataka), by adding relevant info to the main kingdom - Kadambas of Banavasi (which the main page pertains to) and creating sub articles for Kadambas of Hanagal, Kadambas of Goa. Some info regarding other minor Kadamba clans will also pre presented (Kadambas from Bailnad, Belur, Halasi etc.). my sources will be,

• Dr. George M. Moraes, "Kadamba Kula, A History of ancient and medieval Karnataka, 1990
  
• Dr. Suryanath U. Kamat, "A Concise history of Karnataka from pre-historic times to the present", Jupiter books, MCC, Bangalore, 2001 (Reprinted 2002)
  
• K.V. Ramesh, "Chalukyas of Vatapi", 1984, Agam Kala Prakashan, Delhi.
  

I shall also be drawing info from other sources like

• Prof K.A. Nilakanta Sastri, History of South India, From Prehistoric times to fall of Vijayanagar, 1955, OUP, New Delhi (Reprinted 2002), ISBN 019560686-8
  
• Dr. Romila Thapar, The Penguin History of Early India, From Origin to 1300 AD., 2003, Penguin, New Delhi, ISBN 0-14-302989-4.
  
• Dr. Malini Adiga, The Making of South Karnataka, Society, Polity and Culture in Early Medieval Period, AD 400-1030, 2006

This work will take atleast couple of months, considering the volume of work involved. Please be patient and direct all questions to my user page.Dineshkannambadi 18:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
