	History-Land in South India (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This crude thumbnail sketch of the very big-picture of South Asian history reflects the fact that History in general is broadly constituted by tales of insiders and outsiders, natives and foreigners, invasion, impact, and resistance, and thus, by the narrative representation of essentially territorialized human identities and cultures.
		History moves simultaneously and separately in all five zones, which have their own styles of spatial temporality and distinctive records of territoriality.
		Global histories take the global zone to be dominant, to encompass all the others; and the study of globalization is typified by people's preference for the ways of life that make the global zone a kind of historical territory.

	Jainism In South India
		Thus it is stated that the Jaina history in the South commences from the 3rd Century B.C. as according to all Jaina authors the death of Acharya Bhadrabahu took place in 297 B.C. at Shravanabelagola.
		In this regard, it is argued that if south India would have been void of Jainas before Bhadrabahu reached there, it is least conceivable that an Acharya of Bhadrabahu's status would have led the Jaina sangha to such a country and for the mere sake of dharma-raksa, that is, protection of religion.
		In any case Jainism prevailed in south India in 3rd Century B.C. and it continued as a popular faith for more than one thousand years of the Christian Era and it is significant to note that up to the 14th century A.D. Jainism played an important role in the history of south India.
