In the book "Cultural History of Medieval India" it mentions an interesting incident which happened in the 14th century. In the 14th century the Turkic invaders of the Delhi Sultanate raided several parts of southern India which led to the decline of several kingdoms like the Yadava Dynasty and Kakatiya Dynasty. After the collapse of the Kakatiya Dynasty a south Indian general called Prola emerged and defeated the Turkic invaders and drove the Turks out of south India. The General Prola was from the Shudra caste (the lowest caste) and he made himself king after his successful campaigns against the Turks. A record of Prola stated that "he restored to Brahmanas their ancient agraharas". Here is the link for the whole record. http://books.google.com/books/about/Cultural_History_of_Medi eval_India.html?id=ZbKv3zyIFD8C http://i.imgur.com/eI7517s.jpg?1 |
