Context- The literal FIRST independant dynasty to rule over Karnataka was the Chutu dynasty. https://shastriyakannada.org/database/english/land%20history%20and%20people/CHUTU%20DYNASTY.htm?

Guess what??? Their court language itself was MAHARASHTRI PRAKRUT! https://ancientcoinsofindiaaruns.blogspot.com/2010/05/chutus-of-banavasi-30-bc-345-ad.html?

They even used titles like 'Satakarni' to denote themselves. https://globeinview.com/chutu-dynasty/?

There are mentions of people of Northern Karnataka called themselves as 'MAHARATHIS' as seen in Chitradurga, Chandravalli. https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianHistory/s/y5uh6sVaNN

Context- After the fall of Mauryas, who left their influence on Sri Lanka and Maldives, Maharashtri Prakrit, the Satavahana court's lingua franca reached Sri Lanka and Maldives via Konkan merchants and Buddhist monks from ports like Sopara. This left phonological imprints in Elu (proto-Sinhala)—e.g., /r/ > /l/ (Skt. rāja > lā), geminate stops—inherited into modern insular languages, distinct from eastern Magadhi Prakrit's traits. https://archive.roar.media/english/life/history/sri-lankas-megalithic-burial-grounds?

Today, all four Mahl, Sinhala, Marathi and Konkani are considered cousins (sometimes sisters) within the southern / Insular Indo‑Aryan family

Context-

Seige of Berar (1574) was a peak of rivalry between Ahmednagar and the Berar Sultanate. Ahmednagar was founded by a Marathi Brahmin from Marathwada whereas the Brrar was found by a Kanarese Hindu captured from Vijaynagara.

Us Marathis SERIOUSLY need to read our ancient history otherwise other will continue leech onto our empires forever!

Ik ya'lll won't like me posting this over here but then the problem arises, where should I post abt it? Because now I have understood that their literall objective whenever it comes to Maharashtra or Maharashtri is to somehow prove that it was just a elitist language and that Maharashtra spoke that Agge bugge language called Kannad.

Take a look at the first photo that photo uses an outdated, disproved theory. In second image, I told that Maharashtri emerged naturally not just due to elitist touch. They removed asking me to add sources. When I did, they again remove it calling my sources biased. Like come on. I agree that Kannadas live in denial but this much?

Context- Maharashtri was the most prestigious languages of the world of that era. Many grammarian such as Vararuchi and Dandin have praised this language as well.

Hemachandra a Jain monk in the Solanki (Chalukya) court of Gujarat in his Prākṛtavyākaraṇa Siddha‑Hema Śabdānuśāsana Hemacandra treats Mahārāṣṭrī as the base dialect and then introduces Śaurasenī as a modification of Mahārāṣṭrī. He explicitly states that Śaurasenī is a modification or derivative of Mahārāṣṭrī, and then He then goes on to say that Māgadhī, Paiśācī, and Apabhraṁśa are “like Śaurasenī,” i.e., they are derived from the same Mahārāṣṭrī‑based system, which is why secondary literature often says Hemacandra treats the others as “variations or off‑shots of Mahārāṣṭrī.”. https://jaingpt.org/knowledge/prakrit\_vyakaranam\_010651\_010651?

Aura so massive that other languages are called variations of it.

They came to power first in Jurnanagara (Junnar) in Pune district. Who later shifted to Pratishthan (Paithan) due to later incursions by Gujarati Khatrapas.

From their name which is actually Andhar Maval, it was likely due to their proximity to Sahyadris and that region of the hills is called Maval.

Then it was under the king Gautamiputra Satkarni who actually took over Nashik. Remember, till then as well Paithan was their capital.

During those times it was not necessary to have a ‘fixated’ capital to rule. Capitals shifted and so did they.

About the coins part, yes many coins have been discovered near Amravati region but, there are also significant no. of coins which have been excavated near Junnar who are way older than those ones,

Maharashtri Prakrit had more influence over Telugu language or the other way around.

Satavahana rulers issued bilingual coins featuring Prakrit on one side paired with a Dravidian language on the other. The second language debated among scholars, with some identifying it as early Telugu and others as Old Tamil or a related Dravidian dialect. No consensus exists definitively classifying it as Telugu. So Telugus claiming it is inaccurate.

Mumbai, then Bombay had yet to be decided to merged with Maharashtra.

Essentially, The Bombay Citizens' Committee (BCC) was a short-lived committee with was SPECIFICALLY formed to oppose merging of Mumbai with Maharashtra. The word citizen was a disguise which they used to project themselves as someone who belonged to that land (typical of them). In reality ofc all members were Gujarati Industrialist. That committee was chiared by Purushottamdas Thakurdas.

In the SAME year of 1954, these ppl meticulously crafted as 200 pages documents about demographic charts supposedly mixed Gujarati-Marathi populations, economic data highlighting the city's 80%+ revenue contribution from non-Marathi migrants (textiles, ports, finance), and arguments against linguistic division disrupting trade.

Somehow, today those documents are not available online! I cannot find those documents on internet. Is this history trying be suppressed?? I could only find the cover page as shown.

Ofc being Gujaratis, they sided with Mahagujarat Trifurcation movement which wanted Mumbai.

Mahagujarat movement is well document but this one is not talked about that much that's my reason for making this post.

Anyways, all of their delusions and fantasies were shattered when 107 showed courage and gave away their life for Mumbai.

Jai Maharashtra!

Mala kalat nahi ki aapli loka apla guravshali puratan itehas ka vachat nahit?

The above scene is from a Telugu film named Gautamiputra Satakarni (2017). Here he calls himself a 'Telugu'!

When the fact is that Satavahanas are older than Telugu. Guess what? NOT EVEN A SINGLE MARATHI PERSON OBJECTED THE FILM! That movie reached Rs 50.25 crore distributor share worldwide in 39 days.🤡🤡

Marathis are very preoccupied k@nging over other states history like the one from North. Things can be very much distorted.

Oh Satavahanas?- Andhrites!, Vakatakas?-Central Indians, Traikutas? -North Indians, Rashtrakutas?- Kannadas 🤡(they originated from Vidarbha), Seunas?- Also Kannadas🤡(originated from Khandesh).

Central govt will tell us everything about the Mauryas and Guptas but not that much about Satavahanas or Vakatakas. It is our responsibility to learn it and preserve it.
