In 847 (94 AD) Chitraksh Satavahana, leader of a prominent family in the Maurya Empire, left during the Great Famine of that year looking for new sources of food in Africa. He moved his family in order to escape persecution by the Hindus against the religion of Thenmobism which the Satavahana practiced. The Satavahana landed first in Madagascar where they established many new ports with the money they received from the Indian Samraats. The Indians funded many of the early policies of the Satavahana to set up a government in Madagascar and in the East African coast which they also took. The Satavahana, however, became a de facto independent country when they refused the orders of the Samraat who was unable to move all the way towards Madagascar.

  • In 847 (94 AD) Chitraksh Satavahana, leader of a prominent family in the Maurya Empire, left during the Great Famine of that year looking for new sources of food in Africa. He moved his family in order to escape persecution by the Hindus against the religion of Thenmobism which the Satavahana practiced. The Satavahana landed first in Madagascar where they established many new ports with the money they received from the Indian Samraats. The Indians funded many of the early policies of the Satavahana to set up a government in Madagascar and in the East African coast which they also took. The Satavahana, however, became a de facto independent country when they refused the orders of the Samraat who was unable to move all the way towards Madagascar. The Satavahana had extensive trade relations with the Srivijaya Empire who were also Thenmobists. The Satavahana held their capital in Madagascar throughout their time in Africa. After the Nigerian War new African states began appearing in Southern Africa. From this the Bantu Kingdom and the Zulu Republic appeared who conducted themselves in an unspoken alliance against the Satavahana. In 1170 (417 AD) the Maurya Empire, who had been, secretly, building up small cities on coastal Africa to combat the Satavahana, were discovered. In the resulting invasion many of the cities wera attacked and in the final battle the city of New Thanjavur was burned once the citizens knew that the Maurya were on their way. They chose suicide rather than defeat though that was the Thenmobist belief. The destruction of New Thanjavur dissuaded many of the Generals from colonizing Madagascar and they were so disturbed at the activities witnessed that they chose to take only part of the African portion of the Satavahana and leave Madagascar unconquered.
