A Thread on the only Real Kadamba descendants in 21th CE.

The 96 Kulin #Kadamrao Image
It's a lie propogated in deccan that descendants of all the Maratha dynasties vanished in air after downfall of their kingdom or one may say it's a ' cunningly ' peddled lie in deccan academia whether it's about Seuna-Jadhavraos, chalukya/Salunkhes, Maurya/More etc
Same case with the Kadamba/Kadam Maratha kshatriya clan

Modern authors lie that after the downfall of Goa Kadamba Maratha dynasty their descendants vanished in air after 14th ce. But that's obviously a cunningly peddled lie by deccani authors Image
One need not be surprised to know that the Kadambas existed in every century be it ....14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th... 21th Century.

Let's Go through the mention of Kadamba Marathas in each & every century
In 14th Century Goa Kadambas lost their kingdom (Lost kingdom not bloodline). Deccani authors thinks that this is the last of Kadambas but they forget that the collateral branch of kadamba Marathas were ruling from Chandavar & Bankapur
Image
Image
In very next century(15th ce) we find mention of Bankapur Kadamba/Kadamrao Marathas. In this same 15th ce Indapur Kadamba king Mukundrao is clearly mentioned as "Mukundrao Maratha" in muslim records.


Image
Image
Image
Image
Not only that, Fakhruddin Nizami of Bidar wrote entire epic on kadamba Marathas known as Manasvi Kadamrao Padamrao in same 15th ce. The Kadamraos are clearly mentioned as Kshatriya in that text
Image
Image
16th CE.

Bankapur Kadamba Maratha chiefs were ruling from Bankapur & Goa in this century. Some Kadam Marathas were converted to Christianity as Chardo/Maratha Kshatriya & in the same 16th ce we find mention of Kadamba clan in Janaki Svayanvara text as 96 Kulin Kshatriya Maratha Image
The author Sant Jani Jarandana here referring to those 16th ce Kadamba Maratha chiefs of Goa, Bankapur, Tuljapur, Indapur & many samller Kadamba Maratha branches from Maharashtra-Konkan-Goa.
()
Image
The Bakhar of More Chandraraos of Jawli mentions the Maratha families who served under vijayanagara(Razu Kshatriya caste) emperors. One of them were the Kadam/Kadamba Marathas
()
Image
17th CE.

This is the Last mention of Kadamba rulers in karnataka from Bankapur branch. The Kadambarayas/Kadamraos of Bankapur rebelled & fought against Adilshahi forces but failed, After that the Kadamrao family shifted to Alkuti in Ahmednagar & served under Bhosale Empire.
Image
Image
The Name Kadambande ( The Rebellious Kadamba) attached to them after their failed rebellion at Bankapur.

Indore Holkars were initially the Sardars under Kadambandes of Alkuti from whom they acquired their flag 'Bānd Nishān'

Image
Image
Image
Bankapur Kadamraos,
Raoranes of goa,
Bunt/Maratha Saluva/Salavis of Gersoppa.

Were endogamously related to each other
()
In 18th ce The Bankapur Kadamraos who shifted to Alkuti again proved to be The legendary kadambas & were important part of Maratha conquest of Gujarat. Katasimha Kadamrao was from the same Kadamrao branch
()
Image
Not to forget the entire Contingent of Kadambas was involved in Maratha conquest of Lahore. Image
In 19th-20th CE Kadamba Maratha warlords from Goa were the part of Mysore lancers. Like Krishnarao Kadam & Narayanrao Kadam. This the last mention of Kadamba warriors in old mysore region. Image
It was the same time period when fraud authors like George Moraes were busy in finding Kadamaba Maratha descendants among wild tribes of old mysore.
The Modern history revisionist gang of India gives very silly exuses to claim Kadamba Maratha history.
Here one can see conversation between a Kangvarta & a mysori Avarna explaining each other how Kadam≠Kadamba

Clown to clown conversation

Image
Image
Image
For all these clowns
Here are three decisive proofs about Kadamba Marathas.

1) Maharashtra-Kula-Tilaka Kadamba Marathas who migrated to orissa uses the same vernacular form "Kadam".
()
Image
2) Gondhali Bards of Tuljapur Kadam Rao Bhope clan hail the True Kadambarayas (Mayuravarma's title) Image
3) Marathi Inscription of Maradadeva Kadamba of Tuljapur proving Kadam is vernacular form of Kadamba.

The Bhope Kadamrao/Kadambarayas are head priest of Tuljabhavani temple (which is among the 3 & half Shakti Peethas of MH). They were also sardars under Kolhapur Chhatrapatis Image
The above mentioned evidences are more than enough to prove Kadam/Kadamrao is just Prakrit vernacular form of Kadamba/Kadambaraya

No amount of Mysori avarnas & Kangavarta inventing theories like 'Kadam clan=Footstep' would change the fact
The Karnata rulers who ruled over Bihar were the Kadamba Marathas from Konkan who built the Tuljabhavani/Talejubhavani temple in Nepal. Their descendants are among Newaris of Nepal. (Explained in these snippets👇)

Image
Image
Image
Other than the 96 Kulin Marathas the real Kadambas are only found among Tulu bunts, Kodavas, Kadambvamsis of Orissa & Newaris of Nepal.
Mysuru Avarnas & their Kangvarta blood brothers should stop distorting Kadamba Maratha history

An open Challenge to Mysuris to prove existence of Kadamba Maratha clansmen among Kangavarta gang or Mysori Avarnas in Every century till 21th century. In last 700 years. Image
Earliest found inscription of Kadambas (250 ce) in Karnataka is in Maharashtri-Prakrit.

Maharashtri prakrit speaking kadamba kshatriya migrants from Maharashtra are the founders of Modern Karnataka & Kannada language
💛❤️

Apart from all the antics of Kangavarta and Mysori avarnas the Fellow kannadigas know who's what.

Image
Image
Image
The Goa Kadamba Marathas are clearly mentioned as Konkanis in Vijaynagara inscription + The Chandavar branch of Kadambas clearly called themselves of konkani origin.
Image
Image
Karwar Naval base ' INS Kadamba ' is named after these same Goan Kadamba Marathas. The Kadamba Maratha still exist in Karwar. Raoranes,Kadamba,Salavi/Saluva are the dominant Maratha kshatriyas of these regions


Image
Image
Image
Image
Last but not the least 

There are two military villages of Kadamba Marathas in Konkan, Sindhudurg. Named Sarambal & Tarandale.

In republic India Martyr Col Manish Kadam & Capt. Anil kumar Kadam were from this same Sarambal village

Adding sources about Bunt & Kodava Kadambas

1&2.
There are Kadamba branches among Bunts + 1390 ce Inscription of Bunt Kshatriya king Kamadeva kadamba from Manglore testifies it.

3&4.
Only true & recorded descendants of Kadambas of old mysore are Kodava kadambas no one else

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
