The KalaBhras were of Kannada in origin After defeating the kaLabharas, all kaLabhra's records were destroyed That is why there are relatively less or negligible administrative records during that period. The aLabhras rise to suppress the atrocities of cholas on Vokkaliars (Peasants in Kannada) Also, the kaLabhras were jains and vessels of Western Gangas
Dark age of Tamilakam was the period between 1323 AD to 1371AD. The period of Madurai suthanate . During that time religious beliefs, culture, language,art forms ,temples were all in a condition of seige. This chapter is put under carpet by all. Bring it to day light.
After this time Tamil nadu saw a dark age where old Tamil cultural practice were degraded, fully lost of Buddhism jainism ajivikaism in Tamil land. And saw full fledged vedic culture spread.
Kalabhras were most likely Jains and likely patronized Jain monks instead of Brahmins. Jainism was dominant in this period of Tamil history. Not sure if it was a dark period for Tamil since a lot of literature including Silapathikaram was composed in this period. Unfortunately these guys did not leave behind a lot of records about themselves and hence have been forgotten by history.
Kalabhras are kannada origin people who ruled more than 300 years and during that time Tamil literature flourished and people live happily under Kannada rulers
Sorry no literature evolved in case no one were allowed to learn like the period of Krishna deva rayan Since his period tamil were not allowed to read and write tamil that is how Stalin came to rule tamilnadu
Is there any link between Kalabhras and Kalingan King Kharavela? The description of his war on tamil kingdoms in Hathigumpha inscription seems to have some resemblance with kalabhras invason.
Hathigumpa inscription only mentions chera, chola pandiya and athiyaman kings to be away from kharavela's rule and friendly. Kalabhra in Tamil is kalapirar, in that word you might not see similarity to kharavela.
@@shubhammeena5177 I hope you are asking kalapirar. The most accepted etymology is kal`appu eerar, kal`appu meaning mixed, eerar meaning race. Mixed race. Another alternative etymology is kal`am meaning field, irar meaning race, kind of from the fields, this theory sees kalabhra as beginning from peasant movement where smaller tribal lords who served chola, chera, pandya armies revolt.
Interestingly even kharavela would have a meaning in tamil. Khara means dark usually used to describe dark clouds, Vela is a weapon of lord muruga also, the small royalties are referred as vellir
My late grandmother use to recall a schism between the Brahmanas of Madurai in the late nineteenth century - one group was called the 'kadaambi' kootam (group) and the other, the 'kalabra" (no extended a in the second syllable) kootam. I've always wondered if this had anything at all to do with the kalaabra of thirteen centuries past. I'll leave out which group she was from 🙂
Most of Scribes has been "Brahmins" or Budhist or Jain Monks throuout the history hence whatever they wrote has a motive of propagating their own and Denigrating the other opposing ideologies

Kalabra means kalavaram Kalavaram means mutiny or revolution. The people had revolted against monarch It can be based on religion probably Buddhism or Jainism or any other for their freedom
Pallava dynasty ? . Equally important . Mahendra Pallava and Narasimha Pallava were well known Pallava great kings . Mahabalipuram rock statues stand testimony to Pallava dynasty .
Kalabhras were tamils according to historian Padmavati. She argues Buddhism emerged in TN in 3rd century beginning. The vihars helped people during their distress. So people took to Buddha. The minor velir kings who supplied soldiers money food to the three kings stopped it and formed their own army called kalabhra or Kalappirar or mixed people of Tamil and defeated the three kings to take tamizhagam for themselves and rule.
