Nice piece in Hindu, a sort of quick McHistory.

Interestingly, he included the info. on how Pallavas got established. I don't know how Kayar Vizhi and his friend on SuCh will swallow that bit of reality. 

Unfortunately, Naidu didn't include Amaravati inside the capital region. He did, however, concentrate on the Velanadu hub (known for ancient agraharas and nityaagnihotris).

So, will the capital be called Vijayawada?

I thought Velanadu is the area south of Krishna, and the area north of Krishna (upto Godavari) is Venginadu. I wonder what it is north of Godavari.
What areas are Kasalnadu (I hear there are only 12 intiperlu left in this sect), Mulakanadu (Tyagaraja, M.Visvesvarayya), Praakanadu (Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan)? Telanganya or Golconda-vyaapari is easy (from Telangana).

Velanadu is Krishna delta (but mostly on Guntur side). Vengi is Eluru and North of it. But, Velanadus are more numerous.

Golconda-vyaparis are of Telangana-Maharashtra background and are like 6KN of Kosta.

These days, marriages between different sects is becoming common.

Is 6KN for aruvela niyogulu?  That is funny (egatali ga kadu). 

One of my friends said they refer to Kammas as potash. Guess why.
