SOCIETY UNDER MINOR DYNASTIES OF MEDIEVAL ANDHRA

The history of Andhradesa subsequently would have taken entirely a different turn. Perhaps, there would have been no Muslim rule in Andhradesa. But destiny willed otherwise the Velamas were irrepressible mighty and brave they refused to acknowledge the supremacy of Kapaya Nayaka and co-operate with him in fighting the Muslims. In the long run necessarily, they reaped the fruits of their unwise policy of not helping Kapaya Nayaka. For, the history of Telingana from A.D. 1369 till its annexation to the Bahmany kingdom is the history of the Velamas struggling for bare existence with the Bahamman Sultans of Gulbargab.
