Administration in Andhra: From the Earliest times to 13th Century A.D.

C.A. Padmanabha Sastry (Author)

Synopsis With the decline of the Mauryas many dynasties have established supremacyâ€™ in the Deccan and Peninsular India particularly in Andhra Pradesh witnessed a number of changes from its early historical days to the downfall of the Kakatiyas. This land has been under the sway of different dynasties, including the natives and neighbouring kings. Their influence can be observed at different levels and among them the administration is one. A critical and chronological study of the inscriptions and literature pertaining to the Andhra Pradesh reveals the nature of this study. This includes kingship, Ministers, other officials and their qualifications, recruitments, taxations, administrative divisions of different periods. Dr. Sastry has brought the administrative aspect of Andhra Pradesh to the notice of scholars in the systematic way. The present study would certainly furnish a clear picture as an example to the history of administration of later periods of Andhra Pradesh.
