Pallavas were from Bihar

In my previous article,
I have given evidences and tried to conclude that
Both Kalabhras and Pallavas were from Bihar
Anyhow, though we could get more evidences to conclude that Kalabhras were from Bihar
By simply understanding that Kalabhras were also called as "Kalikula"
And Kalikula is a worship sect famous in Bihar and Bengal Regions
And even more evidences,
We could also get evidences that Cholas were from Bihar, as they were Koliyas tribe from Bihar
But, in this blog, we would discuss some points, that
Pallavas were from Magadha (Bihar)
1) Similarities to Mauryan Empire
Many Kingdoms in Karnataka were actually split from Mauryan Empire, after Chandragupta Maurya arrived to South Karnataka along with Magadha People
If we see for Pallavas, we could see the patterns repeating
Like
Jain Religion,
Prakrit Language,
Coin and Administration Similarities to Mauryan Empire
2) Pallavas were from Malla Tribe from Present Bihar
Which is very evident in a manner, that entire Pallava Royal Clan was also called as "Mallas" in inscriptions
In Prakrit, Mallas are called as Mallais
Mallas are Vratya Kshatriyas (Non-Aryan Magadha Kshatriyas)
They are Non-Tamils or Non-Telugus too
They are a Kshatriya group from Present Bihar
Vrishni Clan, in which Lord Krishna was born, is a Vratya Kshatriya too
A Pallava King is mentioned to have beloged to Vrishni Clan
Though, Brahma-Kshatriya is the Varna of Pallavas, we all know, and i have discussed about the Jain Varna in Kalabhra Article, which i have mentioned above
So, what we could understand that, is
Pallavas should have been like a Vajji League, but, having one or more Vratya Clans such as Mallas, Vrishnis, united by their same Brahma-Kshatriya Varna
May be this league or varna have to studied further, so that we could conclude that with some confidence
I have written a some Notes called
Evolution of Vratyas of Magadha
(1700 BC to Present day)
If interested, please refer the notes
My notes are more valuable than any history or scholarly articles you could refer at this present day
Don't take me wrong or think me like I am a headweight person
As I have experienced many stupid scholarly articles and books, i am saying this
We could even read more things about Pallavas and find some new things
In the journey of study, a small finding could have the ability to change our entire perception of a subject or topic, and we may have to again study the subject from beginning after that
As far, what I have written about Kalabhras and Pallavas needs to be rewritten again, as these are written after some years of journey about Kalabhras, thought, got confused, was misguided, myself written some stupid things, after all that, i have written those valuable and informative notes about Kalabhras
Thanks for reading,
