The History of the city goes back to thirds century B.C.
when it was of the great Mauryan Empire. After the Mauryas,
Satavahanas, Kadambas and Chalukyas of Badami and later Rashtrakuta
s reigned over Bidar territory. Chalukyas of Kalyana and Kalachuris
also regained the area. For a short period after Kalyani Chalukyas
the area of Bidar was under the sevunas of Devgiri
and Kakatiyas of Warangal.
Delhi rulers first headed by Allauddin Khilj
i and later Muhammed-bin-Tughluq took control of entire Deccan
including Bidar. About the middle of the 14th Century
the Officers of Sultan stationed in Deccan
rebelled and this resulted in the establishment of Bahamani Dynasty
in 1347 A.D. at Gulbarga. There were frequent warfare between
the Bahamnis and Vijaynagar Kingdom.
