    International Journal of Integrated Studies and Research Volume 1, Issue 4 ISSN 2582-743X The Pala Empire: An Imperial Dynasty (A Brief History and Analysis of Empire) Saksham Jain Introduction to ‘The Palas’ The Palas were an imperial power in the Indian Subcontinent, which ruled around 8th century to 12th century AD, during the Post Classical Age. The Pala Empire initially originated in the present state of Bengal and consequently ruled over till Gandhara in the north, Kabul Valley and Sindh in the North West, Parts of Maharashtra and Vidarbha region. The Pala Empire was founded by Gopala in around 750 CE. The reign of Palas is said to be bought durable peace and stability to the region which was constantly under warring factions. It was also known as Palas because the name of all the rulers of this dynasty ended with Pala . The rulers of Pala Empire patronized Buddhism as the religion and was a major Buddhist imperial power. The rule of Palas started declining after the reign of Ramapala and was replaced by the Sena dynasty in the 12th century AD. Sources- We come to know about the history of Palas through Khalimpur Copper Plate Inscription by Dharmapala , Baadal Pillar Inscription by Naryanpala, Nalanda Copper Plate and other inscriptions in Nalanda and Munger Copper Plate Inscription by Devapala and various other inscriptions at Bodh Gaya and Bhagalpur etc (Bagchi, 1993). We also find out about Palas in various Buddhist literature texts and other texts like Ramcharita. Background and Political History of the Empire Historical evidences suggests that, after the death of Sansanka, there was anarchy and confusion in the land of Bengal.

BANERJI, M.A. Late Manindra Chandra Nundy Professor of Ancient Indian History and Culture, Benares Hindu University; Sometime Lecturer Post- Graduate Department, Calcutta University; formerly Fellow of the Bombay University, &c. &c. BLACKIE & SON (INDIA) LIMITED WARWICK HOUSE, BOMBAY; CALCUTTA AND MADRAS f'trst PREFACE This book was written and revised by my father, but unfortunately he did not live to see it published. The duty of, in some measure, still further revising it, and of seeing it through the Press, has therefore fallen upon myself. The work is primarily meant for students, and if it can help to create in the heart of the rising generation a just pride in their national heritage, the deceased scholar's labours will be amply rewarded. Opinions will almost inevitably differ as to the value of sources relied upon, and the soundness of conclusions reached, by the Author. To generous critics who would have me correct some slip or make good some omission I shall feel grateful. My grateful thanks are due to Prof. S. Bhattacharji, M.A., of the Sanskrit College, Calcutta, and to Messrs. P. Gupta, M.A., and A. Raychaudhuri, M.A., for help received during the revision of the work. I have to acknowledge a debt of gratitude to Mr. Donald A. Mackenzie, who has so kindly contributed a Foreword to the book. Mr. Mackenzie has expressed " himself as being particularly struck by observing how far advanced the deceased author was in his perception of the trend of anthropological discovery in India ".
