History
Historically, the northern portions of the district Adilabad, including the present taluqs of Kinwat, Boath, Adilabad, Utnur and Rajura seem to have formed a part of the Berar. The taluqs of Sirpur and Asifabad were ruled by the Gonds for many centuries, while the taluqs of Chinnur, Lakshettipet and Nirmal have been inhabited by Telugu-speaking population for a longtime.
Monuments of Yadava rule which lasted upto 1320 can be noticed in the northern part of the district in the fort and temples of Mahur, the temple and hot water springs of Onakdeo, where one of the earliest Marathi inscriptions on record has been discovered, and in the temples at Jainad, Chandur and Rajura.
The eastern parts of the Adilabad district, comprising the taluqs of Sirpur, Asifabad and portions of Rajura and Utnur were under the Gonds since at least the 15th century.
Sirpur seems to have been the frontier town of the Kakatiya rulers of Warangal. It finds prominent mention in the campaign of Malik Kafur, the general of Alauddin Khilji, and was stormed by him on his march to Warangal in 1310A.D.. The campaign has been graphically described by the court-poet Amir Khusro, who probably accompanied the army of Malik Kafur in the Deccan.
