The Satavahana Dynasty ruled a huge part of India from the 2nd century BC to the late 2nd century CE.
The Satavahana rulers defeated the Scythian invaders and successfully protected Peninsular India and Central India. The Dynasty originated in modern Maharashtra and Telangana. Some scholars claim that it was a Maratha Dynasty because most of the records were made in Prakrit and the Maratha language descended from Prakrit. On the other hand there are also scholars who claim that it was a Telugu Dynasty because several ancient Indian texts and foreign records describe the Satavahana rulers as Andhra rulers

The Andhra identity is much older than the Maratha identity. The Satavahanas ruled over present day Maharashtra, but they probably were Andhrakas.

Lol. Its obvious that the Satavahana warriors are related to the Maratha people. The Satavahana rulers crushed the Scythian
invaders and the Maratha rulers destroyed the Mughal invaders so its pretty obvious that the Punjabis don't have anything to
do with the Satavahana rulers. Punjabis are like Pakis who didn't achieve anything in the past and who are only good
at dancing and barking.

Well, this is debatable. But I would say that the Satavahana Dynasty was a Deccani Empire. And the Deccan consists of modern Maharashtra, northern Karnataka and Telangana which produced some of the most powerful Empires in South Asian History.

Well present day Maharashtra,Karnataka,Andhra,Telangana are all part of southern empires.Most of this part of this land rules by common rulers.And no one can claim there heritage as its own as u can find similar structures in this states.

Satavahana were Andhras, Andhras were the people of Godavari river, so it was a Telugu dynasty.
