The Positive Background of Hindu Sociology c7.s9.7

c7.s9.7

For a long time 647 A.C., the year of Harṣavardhana's death, used to be taken as a landmark in Indian politics. We have already seen in connection with the Pālas, Senas and Cholas that as Harṣa's successors they were sovereigns of no mean order by any standard of polity or culture. The middle of the seventh century ought therefore to have no special value with historians.
