I have come across the curious reticence of Historians when they write on Indian history.
They are prepared to take as authentic texts/books by Authors from the West,from Plato, Thucydides,Xenophon,Ptolomey, Strabo,Megasthanes,Huan -tsuang,The Bible,Iliad,Odessey,Koran ,they brush aside Indian texts as myths,legends and the works of ancient Indian writers as figment of overworked imagination!
But facts of Indian history are being confirmed by Archeology, Etymology, Cultural cross references,asro dating,Archeoastronomy,Carbon dating,Sea floor movements,Glacial movements,Strata verification , Plate Tectonics ,Cave paintings,and Epigraphs.
Western history,as revealed by these tools,are quite nascent when compared to the Timeline of India.
The earlier western texts can not quote the much more ancient Indian texts because they had no access or even if they had,their knowledge was limited because of their poor understanding of Sanskrit ,Brahmi of various hues and the Ethos of Indian culture.
And nearly all of them miss out sources other than those in Sanskrit.
There was and is Tamil,Kannada,Telugu, Bengali.
These languages are also ancient and they have vast literature.
References found in these sync with what is found in Sanskrit.
Sanskrit and these languages quote each other on historical events.
Thus we find that,
Kannada and Tamil kings took part in the Mahabharata war,
Bengal was over twenty-five Thousand years old,
Varanasi is the oldest continuously inhabited city of the world,
……..
So ,when foreign authors write on Indian history,they record what they have seen and not on what happened earlier in India.
Yet some of them like Strabo,Megasthanes,Huan-tsusang,Fa-hien refer to the antiquity of India.
Strabo and Megasthanes refer to Tamil and Lanka in detail.
The assignment of dates in Indian history now is based nearly wholly on these western sources,and not much on Indian sources.
If one were to devote time to study Indian texts and cross reference them among Sanskrit,Pali,Tamil,Kannada texts and further check with Epigraphs found in Indian temples,real Indian history would emerge.
It stands to reason to trust these multiple sources as they were independent of each other , region wise language wise and the kings of these countries were at war with others at many a times.
The problem arises when the current date assigned to an event in Indian history is way Off the mark by as much as 10,000 years!
Yet, the evidence is compelling.
One such is the the dating of Tamil Chera kings and the Satavahavana dynasties.
Satavahavana dynasty ruled initially from Prathistana,Amravathi and their kingdom encompassed Central India,Andhra, Maharashtra, Karnataka.
They succeeded the Kanva dynasty.
The first king is Simuka.
One of the greatest kings was Gautamiputra Satakarni.
He assisted the Chera King Cheran Senguttuvan.
As Senguttuvan is dated around 9600 BC,Gautamiputra Satakarni and the Satavahavana dynasty may be dated from the present First Century BC to 9600-9500 BC.
‘This declaration by this king happened in the first century CE. This is known from the fact that this king was a friend of Gautamiputra Satakarniwhose time period has been documented. The name Satakarni is “Nootruvar kannar” in Tamil. He provided boats to enable Cheran’s army to cross the Ganges. From there onwards, till their destination in the Himalayas, they had met with some resistance. Silappadhikaram makes a mention that this Cheran king won over the “ill-mouthed Yavanas” before reaching the Himalayas (from where he procured the stone for making the image of Kannagi)..

The Satavahana power was revived by Gautamiputra Satakarni, who is considered the greatest of the Satavahana rulers.Charles Higham dates his reign 103 – c. 127 CE. S. Nagaraju dates it 106–130 CE. The king defeated by him appears to have been the Western Kshatrapa ruler Nahapana, as suggested by Nahapana’s coins overstuck with names and titles of Gautamiputra. The Nashik prashasti inscription of Gautamiputra’s mother Gautami Balashri, dated to the 20th year after his death, records his achievements. The most liberal interpretation of the inscription suggests that his kingdom extended from the present-day Rajasthan in the north to Krishna river in the south, and from Saurashtra in the west to Kalinga in the east. He assumed the titles Raja-Raja (King of Kings) and Maharaja (Great King), and was described as the Lord of Vindhya.
During the last years of his reign, his administration was apparently handled by his mother, which could have been a result of an illness or military preoccupation.According to the Nasik inscription made by his mother Gautami Balashri, he was the one …
… who crushed down the pride and conceit of the Kshatriya; who destroyed the Sakas (Western Satraps), Yavanas (Indo-Greeks) and Pahlavas (Indo-Parthians),… who rooted out the Khakharata family (the Kshaharata family of Nahapana); who restored the glory of the Satavahana race.

Dear Venkatesan,
The following points are to be noted w.r.t the Write Up circulated.
There is a saying that ‘Tamil Muruganukkum Mooththathu’. This implies that the Tamil Language has been in vogue for several Chatur Yugas ahead of the birth of Lord Muruga.So the references Viz BC 300 and the like are indeed erroneous.
The ancient Tamil Language did have alphabets/ letters Viz SA Sha. Ja Ha besides Akhkanna.
The Pandian King name in the Write Up appears to have been wrongly spelt and the meaning for the same wrongly spelt word given.
The correct name is MUDHU. KUDHUMBI and not. MUDHU. KUDUMI.
Reference in the Write Up has been made to KUDUMI meaning Tuft.
I would interpret the meaning of the word is KUDHUMBI, as one having Family and perhaps a big and glorious family.
If feasible, please circulate my observations the recipients of the cited mail.

Thanks. The term mudhu kududumi is found in Tamil sangam texts.The term implies that he was ancient and the word kududumi indicates tuft spotted by Brahmins. The term kududumi might have been used because he was ardent follower of Sanstana Dharma and gifted lands ,like his grandfather Udiyan cheralaathan.Regards.
