[Ancient History - Article]*Chapter 14. The Pallavas Dynasty 

Introduction 

Following the decline of the Sangam Age, a period marked by flourishing Tamil literature and culture, the Tamil country experienced a significant political upheaval. The Kalabhra dynasty, whose origins remain somewhat obscure, emerged and established control over the region for approximately two centuries. This period, often referred to as the "Dark Age" of Tamil history, was marked by a relative decline in literary activity and historical records.
