Talk:Carnatic expansion

The following was at the top of the page:
 * (Taken from a post by Y. Malaiya, used with permission).

Does this make this a copyright violation? Who is Y. Malaiya (the article was created by User:Malaiya, and what permission was granted? User:Zoe|(talk) 02:25, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

No there is no copyright violation. --Malaiya 04:36, 28 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Then what does "used with permission" mean? User:Zoe|(talk) 04:39, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

- Perhaps that is not the right term. The note was originally posted on some of the yahoo groups on Indian culture and history. It was never copyrighted, however it may be found on the web. There is probably a better way to declare that on Wikipedia, perhaps you can help with that.

I don't personally know what's wrong since I have no knowledge of the topic, but apparently this user thinks there is a NPOV issue, a contradiction with Jain, and a lack of sources. --Wafulz 14:14, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

contradictions and misinformation??
Please read the reference books provided before tagging material. Branches of Rashtrakutas and Chalukyas were created by ruling feudatories after the fall of the respective parent kingdoms. This is verifyable. Thsia also happened when Rashtrakutas took control of Kannauj for some time.

Af far as religious influence going north from south, it is an absolute "truth". The Bhakti movement started in south India under Shankaracharya (8th century), Ramanujacharya (11th c.), Madhwacharya (13th c.) who created several monastries in north India to propagate Hindu Bhakti. Read the book by K.A. Nilakanta Sastri carefully. This Bhakti was later further propounded by Vallabhacharya of Gujarat and Chaitanya of Bengal. In fact if one reads the book on saint Chaitanya, one realises his philosophy is essenatially a combination of Advaita and Dvaita philosophies of Shankaracharya and Madhwacharya. Indias present day Hinduism owes largely to the efforts of these Saints who propagated a strong bhakti movement when north India was well under muslium rule. Though Shankaracharya was from Kerela, he found elightenment in Shringeri, Karnataka. Ramanuja charya found refuge in Melkote also in Karnataka from where he preached Vishwadvaita Phlosophy.

As far as Jain religious propogation is concerned, when one says jain religion propagated north it simply means it found a new resurgance going south to north. It is well knwon that Jainism came from Bihar from the east coast of India in South India. It does not mean Jainism was born in South India. - Dinesh Kannambadi

what did shankara's mathas in north and west india have to do with karnataka expansion?

and this line "used to copy kannada culture before he became crazy".

these things need to be edited out.

I suggest you have a discussion with user:Malaiya who may have added that piece. Perhaps he meant that the Sringeri Monastery was the first of the Shankaracharya Maths in India (which is verifyable) and that later, monasteries spread in other places. Regarding the Kashmir king issue, again Malaiya may have added it. Dont automatically assume someone wrote that and take a confrontational posture.Dineshkannambadi (talk) 04:39, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

any problem if i edit out that "before he became crazy"? if there were something substantial intended through that phrase, it should have as well been in better language. i don't think i should take the supposed-author's consent.

Go ahead and remove it. Does seem unencyclopaedic.Dineshkannambadi (talk) 13:09, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
