THE RĀṢṬRAKŪṬAS AND THEIR TIMES
c2.10
BY Dr. A. S. Altekar, Manindra Chandra Nandi Professor and Head of the Department of Ancient Indian History and Culture, Benares Hindu University.
c2.11
The Rāṣṭrakūṭa period is the most important epoch of the history of the Deccan. Karnataka and Maharashtra were welded together into a great political power which inspired terror from Bombay to Bengal, from Kanauj to Cape Camorin. Since Fleet and Bhandarkar wrote on this subject some forty years ago, immense historic material has come to light, necessitating the rewriting of the history of the period on a comprehensive scale. In Part I of this Volume, the author has critically and impartially examined all available original sources and brought out the history of the Rāṣṭrakūṭas and of their relations with their contemporaries much more fully than was ever done before. In Part II, the reader will find a critical study of the Rāṣṭrakūṭa administration and in Part III, a clear and authentic account of the religious, social, economic, literary and educational conditions of the age, where an attempt has been made to ascertain how far Smriti statements on these topics are confirmed or contradicted by epigraphic data. No period of ancient Indian history has yet been discussed so comprehensively and so authoritatively as the Rāṣṭrakūṭa period has been in this Volume.
