Deunking Mysuru's 3 new claims

New claims includes

1) 2 incriptions of Sangameshwar Salunkhes didn't exist

2) Salunke are solanki Not Chalukya

3) Lines in Somadeva Chalukya's inscription taken from Sangameshwar Mahatmya text Image
One inscription from karneshwara  temple in Sangameshwara still exist there & has nothing to do with Kolhapur temple inscription Image
2nd inscription of Somadeva Chakukya from Kolhapur temple which was already translated & published in 1848 ce by Bal G. Shatri & nowhere it mentions Sangmeshwar Mahatmya

Image
Image
Image
So BG Shatri who published the inscription in 1848 is lying, Keshavrao Nagesh, Graham, Rao Bahadur VN Mandlik is, RG Bhandarkar are also lying

Stone slabs getting destroyed or misplaced is a very common thing. Fleet was born 1 year before the inscription was published in 1848 ce
There are many such cases of missing Inscription

Example - NO ONE have seen Hastikundi Rashtrakuta inscription & no one knows where that inscription is
Chalukyas/Salunkes do not claim any ancestry from solanki rajput

It's Vidyadhar Srivastavya who tried to connect these two different clans cause he thinks Chalukya/Salunkhes of Badami were Solankis of Gujarat who came to deccan in 3rd ce (obviously false )


Image
Image
Image
Mysuru academia must be the last talking about surnames & clans

All Kshatriyas clan names are taken by almost all non v2s in india this is nothing new.
96 Kulin Marathas bestowing their clan names on non v2s is recorded in 17th ce. Shahu Maharaja just made it simple for non v2s Image
96 Kulin Marathas Salunke/Chalukya clan name that are found in non v2s are in negligible number

But Solankis are mostly found among Kolis more than rajput
Vansh Bhaskar nowhere calls Jaswantrao Wable Salukhe as Solanki rajput It's Jadunath sarkar who tranlated it to Solanki

He's clearly called as "Deccani Chalukya Maratha" that's Chalukya of pure deccani origin & not Solanki origin

Already debunked here ()

Chalukya's vernacular forms keep recurring in their inscription & interestingly both the vernacular forms
" चाळक्या & साळुंखे " are found in that same Rantagiri District where Kalyani Chalukya family settled & were feudatories under Seuna-Jadhavrao
Recently another vokkaliga was stealing Vengi Razu/Rachevar Chalukya glory.

Even the last ruling Razu Chalukya family from coastal Andhra & was unrelated to vokkals

Both Cholas & Chalukyas of Andhra are unequivocally the Razu/Rachevars EVEN TODAY

Kalchuris of Mangalvedha traced their lineage from Kalachuri Krishna, founder of Kalachuris of Mahismati. Mahismati Kalachuri records never call themselves Haihayas like the Later Chedi Kalchuris.

Mangalvedha Kalachuris explicitly assert a Sūryavamśī descent in multiple records. Image
Notable records of Kalyani/Mangalvedha Kalachuris asserting Sūryavamśa are -

* HireMudannur record of Sūryavamśī (Kalachuri) Jogamarana

*Kolhapur Plates of Shelar Ganaradiya with a reference Bijjala I's Sūryavamśī lineage. Image

Barring the original chapter that is supposed to be from 1448, other very recent chapters are composed by local castes of Bhandari, Pathare Pachaklasi & their scribal Prabhu section. The sole aim was to trace descent from Maratha Kshatriya Bimba Jadhava & his companions.

1/11 Image
Image
Image
Bhandaris try tracing descent from Shinde Sheshvanshis while Pathare Pachkalsi & Prabhus developed a claim of descent from Somavanshi companions of Bimba Jadhava & Bimba himself. The names of Bimba's companions are imaginary ofc.

2/11 Image
Image
Image
Image
But all these castes admit themselves in the Bakhar that though they are descendants of Bimba and his Maratha Kshatriya companions, they got Patit or degraded due to taking up (Karkooni) scribal, peasant, carpenter, toddy tapper jobs and having undergone Varn-Sankara.

मुंबईत #परप्रांतीय यांच्याकडून मराठी माणसावर होत असलेल्या हल्ल्यांमागे 450 वर्षाचा इतिहास दडलेला आहे याची कोणाला कल्पनाही नाही.

मुंबईत मराठी माणसांवरील हल्ल्यांची सुरुवात थेट अकबराच्या मुघल हरम पासून होते. त्यामुळे परप्रांतीय आणि मुघल हरम यांचा संबंध काय ते जाणून घेऊ...

राजपुत लोक स्वत:चे किल्ले व जमीनदारी वाचवण्यासाठी मुघल,इंग्रज,अफगाण, पिंडारी इत्यादी कित्येक विदेशी शासकांना स्वतःच्या मुली देत हे सर्वश्रुत आहे. पण सध्या त्या सर्वांची एक यादी बनविणे ही वेळखाऊ प्रक्रिया असल्याने आपण उदाहरणासाठी फक्त जोधपूर मारवाड च्या रजपुतांची यादी पाहू...

1) इदर च्या भानजी रजपूत याने आपली मुलगी गुजरातचा मोहम्मद बैगरा़ याच्या हरम मध्ये पाठवले

Kadamba Maratha king of Goa, Jayakeshi I expanded his kingdom southwards by annexing the southern Canara that was under the rule of Tuluva Alupa dynasty. After which Jaykeshi seems to have established his close clansman Kavadeva Kadamba to rule the tract between Gokarna & Honavar Image
Image
Image
Successors of Kavadeva maintained their independence as cousins of Goa Kadambas until both were made vassals by the Imperial Seuna Jadhavraos. Image
