Introduction The Political History of Deccan between 753 – 1300 CE was marked by the ascendency of the Rashtrakutas of Manyaketa, emergence of Chola power, the Chalukyas of Kalyani and their subordinates. One of the kingdoms that rose to power on the ruins of the Chaluykas of Badami was the Rashtrakutas. Later, the country south of Tungabhadra was united as one state for nearly two centuries under Cholas of Tanjore and Chalukyas of Kalyani. Towards the close of the twelfth century, the two major powers-the Cholas and Chalukyas of Kalyani had became thoroughly exhausted by their conflicts and were on their decline. Their subordinate powers were started to show their new vigor and were ready to take advantage of the weakening of their suzerains and proclaimed independence. The Yadavas of Devagiri, the Kakatiyas of Warangal, the Hoysalas of Dwarasamudra and the Pandyas of Madurai constitute important political forces during 12th and 13th Centuries. 2. Topic I : Rashtrakutas (753 to 973 CE) Rashtrakutas were the important dynasty ruling over large parts of the Indian Subcontinent for 220 years from 753 to 973 CE with their capital from Manyakheta (Malkhed in Gulbarga district).

  • I. Some Problems of Ancient Indian History: No. III: the Gurjara Clans
    JOURNAL THE ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY. i. SOME PROBLEMS OF ANCIENT INDIAN HISTORY. No. Ill: THE GURJARA CLANS. BY A. F. RUDOLF HOERNXE, PH.D., C.I.E. (Concluded from p. 662, October, 1904.) T HAVE already expressed my agreement with General Sir A. Cunningham's theory that the emperors of Kanauj were Tomaras. For the evidence, such as it is, I must refer to his Arch. Sun. Reports, vol. i, p. 132 ff. From this theory, in combination with that of Mr. Bhandarkar, it follows, of course, that the Tomaras were a clan of the Gurjara tribe. It is curious that the Tomaras are hardly ever mentioned in older records. There are, so far as I am aware, only two old inscriptions that name them. One is the Pehewa inscription (E.I. i, 244) of the time of Mahendrapala (c. 885-910 A.D.), and the other is the Harsha inscription (E.I. ii, 116) of the Chohan Vigraharaja, dated 973 A.D., which would fall into the reign of Vijayapala (c. 950 - 975 A.D.). Vigraharaja's great - grandfather Chandana is said to have defeated or slain (hatvd) a Tomara J.R.A.S. 1905. 1 Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

After the weakening of the Chalukyas and the Rashtrakutas in the Deccan and the Deep South, new political formations emerged. Later Kadambas who were the feudatories of Chalukyas and Rashtrakutas, taking advantage of the waning power, established their independent kingdoms at Gopakapattana (Goa) and Banavasi (Hangal). The Cholas (medieval Cholas) re-emerged as a powerful force, almost dominating the region for four centuries. At the same time, there was a subtle decline of the Pallavas and the Pandayas in the region, giving way to the emergence of the Chalukyas of Badami. Hoysalas also took advantage of the situation and emerged prominent and even overran the entire Chera territories and became Keralasvamis. 6.2 THE KADAMBAS The Kadambas initially emerged prominent around Talagunda (modern Shimoga district) in the north-western Karnataka around 345 CE.

G. MATH Professor, Department of History, CMM arts, Science and Commerce College, Sindagi, India A B S T R A C T The Rashtrakuta Dynasty controlled pieces of South India from the eighth to the tenth century CE. At its peak, their realm remembered the advanced territory of Karnataka for its aggregate alongside parts of the current Indian provinces of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra and Gujarat. Their significance can be measured from the works of numerous Islamic explorers and researchers, particularly Al-Masudi and IbnKhordadbih (tenth century CE), who composed that the wide range of various rulers of India around then appealed to the Rashtrakutas as a higher force and prostrated themselves in respect before them, such was their impact and impression Keywords: Evaporator , Efficiency of system, Refrigerant used, COP of system. Performance of Evaporator. 1. Introduction The birthplace of the Rashtrakuta Dynasty has been a questionable subject and has been bantered absurd a very long time by students of history. The shifting perspectives fundamentally rotate around issues, for instance, the home of the most reliable antecedents of the archaic Rashtrakutas and the connection between the couple of Rashtrakuta lines that administered little realms in Northern and central India and the Deccan in the 6th century - seventh century. The beginning of the Rashtrakuta Dynasty has been a questionable subject and has been bantered ludicrous a long time by history specialists.

  • CHAPTER Lii. the RASHTRAKUTAS of MALKHED
    [Bombay Gazetteer CHAPTER lII. THE RASHTRAKUTAS OF MALKHED. So far, we have seen that, begining, about A. D. 550, with the acquisition' of the country round Bâdâmî in the Bijâpur District, by the end of the sixth century the Western Chalukyas had created a kingdom which embraced nearly the whole of the Bombay Presidency, —up to the river Kîm, certainly, and possibly up to the Mahî,—with a large extent of adjacent terrtory to the east and south; and that, save for a short interruption of their sovereignty by the Pallavas of Kâñchî from A. D. 642 to 655 or thereabouts, they held the supremacy over the dominions which they thus put together, until about A.D. 757. Their sway then ceased; the sovereignty being wrested from them by the Râshṭrakûṭas. In the north, the Lâṭa country, with part of the Gurjara territory, was taken by a branch of Râshṭrakûṭa family which had but a short career, and in which the last known name is that of Kakkarâja II. : at some point, however, north of the Narmadâ, —probably at a line which ran through the southern point of the Pañch-Mahâls District straight to the Mahî on the west and to Chhôṭâ-Udêpur on the east,—the Râshṭrakûṭas must, for the time being, have been kept back by the kings of Valabhî; for, a record of A.D. 7661 shews that the territory which was known as the Khêṭaka âhâra or Khêṭakâhâra vishaya, the modern Kaira District, with the Cambay State and some outlying parts of the Gaikwâr's dominions,—named after Khêṭaka, the ancient form of the name of Kaira itself,—was still a portion of the Valabhî kingdom, and a record of A.

JODHPUR: THE ARCHAEOLOGICAU DEPARTMENT. 1933. Published orders of the Jodhpur Darbar. FIRST EDITION Price Rs. :2'i- Jodhjr.tr: Printed at the Marwar State Press PREFACE. This volume contains the history of the early RSshtrakutas (Rathotfas) and their well-known branch, the Gahatfavalas of Kanauj up to the third-quarter of the 13th century of Vikrama era, that is, up to the migration of Rao Slha towards Marwar. In the absence of any written account of the rulers of this dynasty, the history is based on its copper plates, inscriptions and coins hitherto discovered. Sanskrit, Arabic and English 1 works, which throw some light on the history of this dynasty, however meagre, have also been referred to. Though the material thus gathered is not much, yet what is known is sufficient to prove that some of the kings of this dynasty were most powerful rulers of their time. Further, some of them, besides being the patrons of art and literature, were themselves good scholars.
