History of Tamil Nadu

History of Tamil Nadu is about the modern state of Tamil Nadu in India. The region has continued to be inhabited by the first prehistoric people. The history of Tamil Nadu and the civilization and culture of the Tamil people is one of the oldest in the world. Throughout the history of Tamil Nadu from pre-Paleolithic to modern times, this region has been integrated with various peripheral cultures. Barring relatively short periods of history, Tamil Nadu has remained independent at other times without any external encroachments.

Chola Period Temple The Cholas united the various peninsulas of South India under a single administration in the tenth and eleventh centuries.

The Chera, Chola, Pandyan and Pallava empires were the four ancient indigenous Tamil empires. They ruled the region with a unique culture and language that enabled the development of some of the world's oldest and most ancient literatures. They had extensive maritime trade links with the Roman Empire. These three dynasties continuously fought each other for the leadership of the region. The traditional form of government of the region changed when the Kalapras who entered the third century drove out the region, which was traditionally ruled by the three empires. The Pandyas and Pallavas rose up and overthrew the Kalapras and re-established their traditional empires. The fallen Cholas defeated the Pallavas and the Pandyas in the ninth century and emerged as a great power, expanding their empire almost throughout the southern peninsula. The Chola Empire in the Bay of Bengal area was about 3,600,000 sq km. It was widespread. Chola's navy also controlled the Sri Visayas in Southeast Asia.

The political changes that took place in other parts of India due to the incursion of Islamic forces from the north-west led to a significant change in the history of Tamil Nadu. Due to the collapse of the three ancient empires in the fourteenth century, Tamil Nadu became a part of the Visayanagar Empire. Telugu-speaking Nayak rulers ruled the Tamil region under the Visayanagar Empire. The short-lived presence of the Marathas led to the arrival of European trading companies in the Tamil region. During the seventeenth century these traders eventually brought the native rulers of the region under their control. The Madras Province was formed in the eighteenth century, covering much of South India. The region was directly ruled by the British East India Company. After India's independence, the state of Tamil Nadu was formed based on linguistic boundaries. is about the modern state of Tamil Nadu in India.
