Peridot Literary Books History Of Post Gupta Dynasties by Thakkar, Munaf
"Gupta Dynasty was one of the ancient Indian empires that ruled during 240 to 550 CE in Northern, Central as well as Western parts of India. The decline of the Gupta kingdom in the 6th century AD slowly and gradually led to the growth of many small kingdoms. In this process, certain regions witnessed the emergence of new kingdoms; and in other regions, the erstwhile Gupta vassals freed themselves from the sovereignty of the Guptas, founding independent kingdoms. Of the new political powers that emerged, the important ones are kings like Yasodharman, and powers such as the Maukharis, the Hunas and the later Magadhan Guptas. Along with these new powers, the Pushyabhutis, the Gaudas, the Varmans and the Maitrakas also became important powers to be reckoned with at that time. The political scenario of this period is to be understood against this background of the emergence of regional identities represented by the new political powers. This important book is an effort to recollect the historical overview of post Gupta Dynasty period in India. A must read book for graduate students and researchers of Indian History courses.
