==HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY==
Karnataka has a recorded history of more than 2,000 years. Apart from its subjection
to the rule of Nandas, Mauryas and the Satavahanas, Karnataka came to have
indigenous dynasties like the Kadambas of Banavasi and the Gangas from the middle
of the 4th century AD. The world renowned Gomateshwara monolith at
Shravanabelagola was installed by a Ganga minister Chavundaraya.

The colossal
rock cut image of Sri Gometeshwara in the most magnificent among all Jaina works
of art. Numerous visitors arrive at Shravanbelagola to gaze at this and other
monuments. The Chalukyas of Badami (500-735 AD) reigned over a wider area,
from the Narmada to the Kaveri from the days of Pulikeshi II (609-642 AD) who
even defeated the mighty Harshavardhana of Kanauj. This dynasty created fine,
everlasting and the most beautiful monuments at Badami, Aihole and Pattadakal,
both structural and rock-cut. Aihole has been one of the cradles of temple architecture
in the country.

The Rashtrakutas (753-973 AD) of Malkhed who succeeded them
heaped tributes on the rulers of Kanauj successively in the so-called ‘Age of Imperial
Kanauj’. Kannada literature developed during this period. Outstanding Jain scholars
of India lived in their court. The Chalukyas of Kalyana (973 to 1189 AD) and their
feudatories, the Hoysalas of Halebidu built exquisite temples, encouraged literature
and various fine arts. Noted jurist Vijnaneshwara (work: Mitakshara) lived at Kalyana.

The great religious leader Basaveshwara was a minister at Kalyana. Vijayanagar
empire (1336-1646) patronised and fostered indigenous traditions and encouraged
arts, religion and literature in Sanskrit, Kannada, Telugu and Tamil. Overseas trade
flourished. The Bahamani Sultans ('''Capital: ''' Gulbarga, later Bidar) and the Bijapur
Adilshahis raised fine Indo-Saracenic buildings and encouraged Urdu and Persian
literature.

Advent of the Portuguese resulted in the introduction of new crops
(Tobacco, Maize, Chillies, Groundnut, potato, etc.). After the fall of the Peshwa
(1818) and Tipu (1799), Karnataka came under British rule. Christian missionaries
introduced English education and printing during the 19th century. Revolution in
transport, communication and industries was ushered in. The urban middle-class
emerged. Mysore dynasty initiated and helped industrialisation and cultural growth.
Freedom Movement was followed by the movement for the unification of
Karnataka.

the Kannada dominant areas under different dispensations were unified and the
enlarged Mysore state carved in 1956 and was renamed Karnataka in 1973.
