What's new

The mighty Satavahana dynasty .

Yes they are thought and quite in depth. I still remember them very clearly.. I loved History classes.
At least not in NCERT history textbook apart from a chapter which mentions about them in section related to South Indian history after the fall of Maurya Empire. But i guess state syllabus especially that of Andhra Pradesh , Maharashtra , Karnataka gives this empire the due respect it requires but not the National history texts.

Though their wooden architecture is long gone, due to India's harsh weather, you can still see elements of their architecture with their cave art and reliefs. Like these pillar and their capital styles.

The artificial caves they built were modeled after wooden examples. You can see the wooden support beams in the cave art.

To all those delusional Neanderthals ....polluting this thread with their madarsa BS.....here

Periplus of the Erythraean Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Testimony of great satavahanas and sakas of West coast of india

Piss drinker you need to behave on Pakistani forum. If you read first post, even scholars are not sure what to make of these ancient artifacts. In that case what hindus nationalists do is write history which suite their modern India version. :-)

As i said watever sails u r boat bro, we scientifically proved that indo aryan invasion is a myth and this study even got
published in American Journal of Human Genetics.. Even if I go with your myth, that india was invaded by aryan of central asia to be true, dravidians of south established strong empires that others can only dream of satavahana empire, chola empires are some such examples..

You are still stuck in denial, world have come a long way since then. Steppe people brought hindu religion in to India, weather you like it or not is up to you.

What references and sources? Seem like cow piss is taking toll on your brain. Read OP again, the history is invented and they even say that. They are just guessing it, and making it closer to nationalist view as possible.
 
.
Is Satavahana history taught in any single Indian school? Just curious. I haven't had enough contact with my cousins to know what they are taught.

well just a mention as India have a vast history it is not possible to cover everything so these topics are studied on interest basis during higher education

Indo aryan invasion theory was first proposed by max muller and looks like you are struck with it, even after showing you a scietific proof that it is just a myth... let me try an other way, it is mostly believed that steppe people came to India 3500 years ago, and if we assume that they brought hindu religion in to how come vietnam recently discovered a vishu idol ( one of the the hindu trinity gods) that is 4000 years old ?? is it that steppes/aryans watever u call them travelled to vietnam first before they reached India ??

I am not providing any archeological proof from India bcz u would anyway discard it as smethng exaggerated by Indian hindus ?? what do u say abt the communist govt of vietnam and there archeological dept. is it bluff too ??

People have moved past that point, no one deny this because its a fact. Only nationalist hindus like to deny obvious truth. People see what they want to see but truth is hinduism is foreign religion with local touch.

Hinduism do not fit the definition of a typical religion when compared to other Abrahamic religions. Hinduism in fact refers to all the dharmic & cultural beliefs of people living in Indian sub continent. And off course these dharmic beliefs is not a thing which can be made in a few years like other religions based on a single holy book/ a few holy books with an aim to export it to other radically different countries which are culturally way different. And Central Asia , Persia , Tibet & even Greeks had some influence on the religious beliefs off India. It doesn't mean that they invented it.
