Deccan Plateau

The Deccan Plateau (Marathi: दख्खन), also known as the Peninsular Plateau or the Great Peninsular Plateau,[1] is a large plateau in India, making up the majority of the southern part of the country. The geography of India is diverse with landscape ranging from snow-capped mountain ranges to deserts plains rainforests hills and plateaus Marathi (mr मराठी Marāṭhī) is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by the Marathi people of what is considered western India. In Geology and Earth science, a plateau, also called a high plateau or tableland, is an area of highland, usually consisting India, officially the Republic of India (भारत गणराज्य inc-Latn Bhārat Gaṇarājya; see also other Indian languages) is a country It is located between three mountain ranges and extends over eight Indian states. Its uplands make up a triangle nested within the familiar downward-pointing triangle of the Indian sub-continent's coastline. [2] It is technically a vast plateau with a wide range of habitats, encompassing most of central and southern India. In Geology and Earth science, a plateau, also called a high plateau or tableland, is an area of highland, usually consisting South India is the area encompassing India 's states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu as well as the union [3] It is bounded in the west by the Western Ghats and in the east by the Eastern Ghats which each rise from their respective nearby coastal plains and nearly meet at the southern tip of India. The Western Ghats ( Kannada ಸಹ್ಯಾದ್ರಿ Marathi / Konkani - सह्याद्री Sahyadri Malayalam സഹ്യപര്‍വ്വതം The Eastern Ghats are a discontinuous range of mountains along India 's eastern coast These two formations form the southward-pointing vertex of a triangle which encompasses the plateau with the roughly west-south-west to east-north-east running Satpura Range and Vindhya Range forming the third northern boundary of the region. In Geometry, a vertex (plural "vertices" is a special kind of point. The Satpura Range is a range of Hills in central India. The range rises in eastern Gujarat state near the Arabian Sea coast running east through The Vindhya Range ( Sanskrit: विन्‍ध्य is a range of older rounded mountains and hills in the west-central Indian subcontinent which geographically The northern ranges separate the plateau from the heavily populated riverine plains of northern India.

It makes up large areas of the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka and parts of Andhra Pradesh. Maharashtra ( Marathi: mahārāṣṭra, IPA) is a state located on the western coast of India. Karnataka (ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ pronounced) is a state in the southern part of India It has an elevation which ranges from 100 metres in the north to 1000 metres in the south.

This region is one of the most geologically stable land masses of the world. [3] The Deccan forms the catchment areas of mighty rivers. [2] The name Deccan is an anglicised form of the Prakrit word dakkhin, itself derived from the Sanskrit word dakṣiṇa- (Sanskrit: दक्षिण), meaning 'South'. Prakrit (also transliterated as Pracrit) ( Sanskrit: prākṛta प्राकृत (from pra-kṛti प्रकृति according to one Sanskrit (sa संस्कृता वाक् saṃskṛtā vāk, for short sa संस्कृतम् saṃskṛtam) is a historical Sanskrit (sa संस्कृता वाक् saṃskṛtā vāk, for short sa संस्कृतम् saṃskṛtam) is a historical [4]

The Deccan Plateau lies south of the Indo-Gangetic plain. Etymology When the water falls on the rocks it appears as if hoge ( smoke in Kannada) is emanating from the top of the kal ( rock Hampi ( Kannada: ಹಂಪೆ is a village in northern Karnataka state India. The Indo-Gangetic Plain also known as the Northern plains and the North Indian River Plain is a large and fertile plain encompassing most of northern and eastern India, The Western Ghats Mountain Range is tall and blocks the moisture from the southwest monsoon from reaching the Deccan Plateau, so the region receives very little rainfall. A monsoon is a seasonal prevailing wind which lasts for several months [5][6] The eastern Deccan Plateau is at a lower elevation spanning the southeastern coast of India. Its forests are also relatively dry but serve to retain the rain to form streams that feed into rivers that flow into basins and then into the Bay of Bengal. The Bay of Bengal is a bay that forms the northeastern part of the Indian Ocean. [2][7]

The Godavari River and its tributaries, including the Indravati River, drain most of the northern portion of the plateau, rising in the Western Ghats and flowing east towards the Bay of Bengal.

The two rivers that do not flow into the Bay Of Bengal are Narmada and Tapi. They start in the Eastern Ghats and flow into the Arabian sea.

The rivers of the Himalayas are snow-fed and so perennial throughout the year. But the rivers of the Deccan Plateau depend on the rains and so they dry up in the summers.

Layer after layer was formed by the volcanic activity that lasted many thousands of years, and when the volcanoes became extinct, they left a region of highlands with typically vast stretches of flat areas on top like a table. Hence it is also known as Table Top. The volcanic hotspot that produced the Deccan traps is hypothesized to lie under the present day island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean.

Extrusive refers to the mode of Igneous Volcanic rock formation in which hot Magma from inside the Earth flows out (extrudes onto the surface Igneous rocks (etymology from Latin ignis, fire are rocks formed by solidification of cooled Magma (molten rock Also in certain sections of the region, we can find granite, which is an intrusive igneous rock. Granite (ˈɡrænɪt is a common and widely occurring type of intrusive, Felsic, igneous rock. In Geology, an intrusion is a body of Igneous rock that has Crystallized from molten Magma below the surface of the Earth. Igneous rocks (etymology from Latin ignis, fire are rocks formed by solidification of cooled Magma (molten rock The difference between these two rock types is: basalt rock forms on eruption of lava, that is, on the surface (either out of a volcano, or through massive fissures -- as in the Deccan basalts -- in the ground), while granite forms deep within the Earth. Granite is a felsic rock, meaning it is rich in potassium feldspar and quartz. Felsic is a term used in Geology to refer to Silicate minerals, Magma, and rocks which are enriched in the lighter elements such as Silicon Physical properties Orthoclase crystallizes in the Monoclinic crystal system Quartz (from German) is the most abundant Mineral in the Earth 's Continental crust (although Feldspar is more common in This composition is continental in origin (meaning it is the primary composition of the continental crust). The continental crust is the layer of granitic, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic rocks which form the Continents and the areas of shallow seabed Since it cooled underground, it has large invisible crystals. Basalt, on the other hand, is mafic in composition -- meaning it is rich in pyroxene and, in some cases, olivine, both of which are Mg-Fe rich minerals. Mafic is an adjective describing a Silicate mineral or rock that is rich in magnesium and iron the term was derived by contracting "magnesium" and "ferric" The pyroxenes are a group of important rock-forming Silicate minerals found in many Igneous and metamorphic rocks.

Since both rocks are found in the Deccan Plateau, it indicates two different environments of formation.

The Deccan is rich in minerals. Primary mineral ores found in this region are mica and iron ore in the Chhota Nagpur region, and diamonds, gold and other metals in the Golconda region.

The detailed and authentic history of the Deccan only begins with the 13th century A.

Of the early history the main facts established are the growth of the Maurya empire (250 B. The Maurya Empire ( 322 – 185 BCE) ruled by the Mauryan dynasty was a geographically extensive and powerful political and military C. ) and the invasion (A. D. 100) of the Scythic tribes known as the Sakas, Pahlavas and Yavanas, which led to the establishment of the power of the Kshaharata satraps in western India.

In 1294 Ala-ud-Din Khilji, emperor of Delhi, invaded the Deccan, stormed Devagiri, and reduced the Yadava rajas of Maharashtra to the position of tributary princes (see Daulatabad), then proceeding southward overran Telingana and Carnatic. Fort of Devagiri The area of the city includes the hill-fortress of Devagiri ( Marathi देवगिरी (sometimes Latinised to Deogiri Fort of Devagiri The area of the city includes the hill-fortress of Devagiri ( Marathi देवगिरी (sometimes Latinised to Deogiri Telangana or Telingana ( Telugu: తెలంగాణ is a region in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. With this event the continuous history of the Deccan begins. In 1307, owing to non-payment of tribute, a fresh series of Mussulman incursions began, under Malik Kafur, issuing in the final ruin of the Yadava power; and in 1338 the reduction of the Deccan was completed by Mohommad bin Tughlak. The imperial hegemony was of brief duration as soon Telingana and Karnataka speedily reverted to their former masters and these defections by the Hindu states was soon followed by a general revolt of the Mussulman governors, resulting in the establishment in 1347 of the independent Muslim dynasty of Bahmani, and the consequent withdrawal of the power of Delhi from the territory south of the Narmada River. The Bahmani Sultanate (Also called the Bahmanid Empire was a Muslim state of the Deccan in southern India and one of the great medieval Indian kingdoms

In the power struggles which ensued, the Hindu kingdom of Telingana fell bit by bit to the Bahamani dynasty, who advanced their frontier to Golkonda in 1373, to Warangal in 1421, and to the Bay of Bengal in 1472.

On the dissolution of the Bahmani empire (1482), its dominions were distributed into the five Muslim states of Golkonda, Bijapur, Ahmednagar, Bidar and Berar. To the south of these the great Hindu state of Carnatic or Vijayanagar still survived; but this, too, was destroyed, at the battle of Talikota (1565) by a league of the Muslim powers. The Vijayanagara Empire ( Kannada: ವಿಜಯನಗರ ಸಾಮ್ರಾಜ್ಯ Telugu: విజయనగర సామ్రాజ్యము was a South These latter in their turn soon disappeared. Berar had already been annexed by Ahmednagar in 1572, and Bidar was absorbed by Bijapur in 1609.

The Marāthās ( Marathi: mr मराठा also Mahrattas) form an Indo Aryan group of Hindu Warriors hailing mostly from the present-day A few years later the Aurangzeb's viceroy in Ahmednagar, Nizam-ul-Mulk, established the seat of an independent government at Hyderabad (1724). For info about rulers of Hyderabad state, see the page Nizam state of Hyderabad. The remainder of the imperial possessions in the peninsula were held by chieftains acknowledging the supremacy of one or other of these two potentates. In the sequel, Mysore became the prize of the Muslim usurper Hyder Ali. During the contests for power which ensued about the middle of the 18th century between the native chiefs, the French and the English took opposite sides. After a brief course of triumph, the interests of France declined, and a new empire in India was established by the British. Mysore formed one of their earliest conquests in the Deccan. Tanjore and the Carnatic were shortly after annexed to their dominions. In 1818 the forfeited possessions of the Peshwa added to their extent; and these acquisitions, with others which have more recently fallen to the paramount power by cession, conquest, or failure of heirs, form a continuous territory stretching from the Narmada to Cape Comorin(Kanyakumari). This vast tract was divided by the British between the presidencies of Madras and Bombay, together with the native states of Hyderabad and Mysore, and those of Kolhapur, Sawantwari, Travancore, Cochin, and the petty possessions of France and Portugal.
