Hi, the fact that a present-day Indian state uses the name "Karnataka" leads to several understandable mis-conceptions. It is wrongly felt, for instance, that Carnatic music has some sort of special association with that state. Similarly, the word "Carnatic" as in "Carnatic region" / "Carnatic coast" has no particular association with the territory of Karnataka state. The word "Carnatic" is the adjective form of "Karnaad", meaning "High land" or "Black land" as per different interpretations, and refers to all of south India; some interpret Maharashtra (as being part of the 'highland plateau' as being included. Hence the words "Properly, the name "Carnatic" is in fact applicable to Karnataka, the country of the Kannada extending between the Eastern and Western Ghats...." is incorrect.
