The Carnatic Wars were a series of military confrontations in India’s coastal Carnatic region, a dependency of Hyderabad State, in the middle of the 18th century. Between 1746 and 1763, three Carnatic Wars were fought. The conflicts included a diplomatic and military fight between the French East India Company and the British East India Company, as well as struggles over succession and territory. They were mostly fought within Mughal India’s borders, with the help of a smattering of polities loyal to the “Great Moghul.” The British East India Company developed its dominance among the European commercial corporations in India as a result of these military battles. The French enterprise was cornered and forced to confine itself to Pondicherry. The British Company finally took control of most of India as a result of the East India Company’s dominance, and the British Raj was established. First Carnatic War (1746-48) In South India, the Anglo-French rivalry erupted in full force. Karnataka was thrust into the spotlight. South Indian affairs at the time, particularly the internal situation in Karnataka, gave a chance for both nations to test their strength. Many tiny states had emerged in the south, taking advantage of the Mughal Empire’s weakness. There was once a fight between these two countries. Both the British and the French hoped to create their own dominance by taking advantage of this circumstance. In 1740 AD, the Austrian succession war began at the same time. This wa...

Nayak rulers supported the ‘Bhakthi’ music movement based on the Dasa Sahithya, with elements of nascent ‘art’ form. Tanjore ruler’s patronage to Maha Vidwans to develop the ’art’ form for teaching and practice, based on the works of Purandara Dasa and other great musicologists, resulted in the identity of ‘art’ form, different from the pre existing Pann and Arayar Isai in the tamilzh regions, identity of Karnataka Sangeetha. munirao2001 IMHO, the Indian music as practised in South India - leaving aside the HM gharanas in erstwhile Mysore state, like Dharwar - is called Carnatic Music. The word Carnatic was coined by British to refer to region of Deccan Plateau and down South. Though not very authentic, the Wiki source - Is the contention that Tamil isai - pan and Arayar are different from Carnatic Music, correct? There are any number of Tamil literature which gives details of music as practised then. (PS - As per the link I wonder if one should use the term Dharwar Gharana .Dharwar was not in The Mysore state. Neither was Bellary , a distinguished seat of Cm. We are discussing this formation and existence , in times that have seen porous boundaries between gharanas. Gwalior Gh , jaipur Atrauli Gh,Kirana Gh each indicate something significant ly different. Dharwar Gh does not mean anything. The prolific output of the region in terms of practitioners though , is baffling...

Author: Suresh Sri What is Carnatic Music? Carnatic music is one of the two dominant genres of Indian classical music (the other one being ‘Hindustani music’ (pronounced Hindhusthaani), popularized by Carnatic music is melody-based and not symphony-based. That is, songs are composed as multiple tracks for multiple instruments to play together, but for a single artist (vocal or instrumental) to showcase the melody, rhythm, and mood of the song as envisioned by its composer, and to provide a venue for the artist to improvise and demonstrate his or her mastery. To be sure, the main artists are typically accompanied by other (string and/or percussion) instruments, but there are no special tracks composed for the accompaniments. History and Evolution Indian classic music has been around now for a couple of millenniums or even longer. Until about the 12th century CE, all of India used a single system of classical music. Subsequently, most of North India came under the rule of Muslim rulers of Turkish and Afghan descent (until about 1700 CE, when the British dudes took over). These rulers brought in their own Persian-influenced music, poetry, and other arts to India. This resulted in the classical music in North India being heavily influenced by these. South India, for the most part, was on the outskirts and thus was able to maintain the original style, but did assimilate a fair amount of South Indian folk music. At around the 14th century, the northern and southern genres were d...
