The [[Maurya]]ns extended their rule over Andhra in 4th century BCE. With the fall of the [[Mauryan Empire]] Andhra [[Satavahana]]s became independent in 3rd century BCE. After the decline of the Satavahanas in 220 CE, [[Ikshvaku dynasty]], [[Pallava]]s, [[Vishnukundina]]s, [[Ananda Gotrika]]s and [[Chola]]s ruled the [[Telugu people|Telugu]] land. Inscriptional evidence of [[Telugu language]] was found during the rule of Renati Cholas (Kadapa region) in 5th century CE.<ref>Indian Epigraphy, R. Saloman, Oxford University Press, 1998,

 

The battle of [[Palnadu]] resulted in the weakening of Eastern [[Chalukya]]n power and emergence of the [[Kakatiya]] dynasty in the 12th and the 13th centuries CE. The Kakatiyas were at first feudatories of the Rashtrakutas ruling over a small territory near [[Warangal]]. All the Telugu lands were united by the Kakatiyas. In 1323 CE, Delhi [[Sultan]] Ghiaz-ud-din [[Tughlaq]] sent a large army under Ulugh Khan to conquer the Telugu country and capture Warangal. King [[Prataparudra]] was taken prisoner. [[Musunuri Nayaks]] recaptured Warangal from the [[Delhi Sultanate]] in 1326 CE and ruled for fifty years. Inspired by their success, the [[Vijayanagar empire]], one of the greatest empires in the history of Andhra Pradesh and [[India]], was founded by [[Harihara]] and [[Bukka]], who served as treasury officers of the Kakatiyas of Warangal.<ref>Robert Sewell, A Forgotten Empire (Vijayanagar): A contribution to the history of India, Chapter 2 http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext02/fevch10.txt</ref> In 1347 CE, an independent Muslim state, the [[Bahmani]] kingdom, was established in [[south India]] by Alla-ud-din [[Hasan Gangu]] as a revolt against the [[Delhi Sultanate]]. The [[Qutb Shahi]] dynasty held sway over the Andhra country for about two hundred years from the early part of the 16th century to the end of the 17th century.
