Today is the Jayanti HH Sri Vidyaranya. The fourteenth century monk and the seer of Sringeri Math in Karnataka to whom the south of India vows a debt unpayable.
If the indigenous culture, languages, temples and art forms of south exist, it is because of him.
#VidyaranyaJayanti
When the South was shattered by the first wave of muslim invasions under Khilji's forces, many great Kingdoms which were symbols of art, literature and culture of India were destroyed.
Many temples were brought down, thousands were killed and taken slaves.
As the time passed, the viceroy of the invading Delhi Sultanate forces in Madurai, Jalaluddin Ahsan Khan declared independence and thus began the rule of Madurai Sultanate in 1335. The Madurai Sultans were religious fanatics under whom life turned into a hell to native Hindus.
