It has been archived for its historical value as well as for<br/>the insights it gives into British colonial writing about the various communities<br/>of India. Indpaedia neither agrees nor disagrees with the contents of this <br/> article. Readers who wish to add fresh information can create a Part II of this <br/> article. The general rule is that if we have nothing nice to say about <br/> communities other than our own it is best to say nothing at all. <br/>

=Rajput: Solankhi, Solanki, Chalukya=

This clan was
one of the Agnikula or fire-born, and are hence considered
to have probably been Gurjaras or Gujars. Their original
name is said to have been Chaluka, because they were formed
in the palm {chain) of the hand. They were not much
known in Rajputana, but were very prominent in the Deccan.
Here they were generally called Chalukya, though in northern
India the name Solankhi is more common. As early
as A.D. 350 Pulakesin I. made himself master of the town
1 Rajasthan i. pp. 39S, 399. The brought pressure on the Rana to condeath

of Vatapi, the modern Badami in the Bijapur District,
and founded a dynasty, which developed into the most
powerful kingdom south of the Nerbudda, and lasted for
two centuries, when it was overthrown by the Rashtrakutas.^
Pulakesin II. of this Chalukya dynasty successfully resisted
an inroad of the great emperor Harsha Vardhana of Kanauj,
who aspired to the conquest of the whole of India.

The
Rashtrakuta kings governed for two centuries, and in
A.D. 973 Taila or Tailapa II., a scion of the old Chalukya
stock, restored the family of his ancestors to its former glory,
and founded the dynasty known as that of the Chalukyas
of Kalyan, which lasted like that which it superseded for
nearly two centuries and a quarter, up to about A.D. i 1 90.
In the tenth century apparently another branch of the clan
migrated from Rajputana into Gujarat and established a
new dynasty there, owing to which Gujarat, which had
formerly been known as Lata, obtained its present name.^

The principal king of this line was Sidh Raj Solankhi, who
is well known to tradition. From these Chalukya or
Solankhi rulers the Baghel clan arose, which afterwards
migrated to Rewah. The Solankhis are found in the
United Provinces, and a small number are returned from
the Central Provinces, belonging mainly to Hoshangabad
and Nimar.
