[EAN: 9788185151380], Gebraucht, wie neu, [PU: Harman, New Delhi], 45386, Contents Preface. 1. The historical geography of the Deccan. 2. The early Rastrakutas. 3. The foundation of imperial power. 4. The imperial glory. 5. The sun set of the empire. 6. Administrative socio economic and cultural conditions. Appendix. Select bibliography. Index. The Rastrakutas of the Deccan having before them the traditional concept of the sovereignty over the three oceans and of the entire south were the first of the powers south of the Vindhyas to establish complete mastery over the Gangetic Valley and to exhale terror all over the country extending from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal and from Kanauj to Cape Comorin. They were the power not only to rule with grandeur for a pretty long period of about two and a half centuries but to provide an efficient administration protecting interests of the subjects irrespective of caste colour or creed thereby aiming at founding a welfare state and even gaining appreciation from the Muslims. Their court being adorned by a galaxy of scholars like Rajasekhara Harisena Jinasena Sakatayana Viracharya Pampa Pobna Akalanka Vidyananda etc. one of the Rastrakuta kings Amoghavarsa was himself a known scholar. Art also received great impetus at their hands. Kailash temple at Ellora the most marvellous architectural freak in India speaks of their patronage. The study of the Rastrakuta dynasty was initiated in 1843 by Acharya Bal Sastri Jambekar who published the Kharepatan copper plate grant of Saka 930 (1008 A.D.) providing the names of fourteen Rastrakuta rulers. In 1884 R.G. Bhandarkar for the first time attempted to give an account of the dynasty in chronological order in his early history of the Deccan followed by J.F. Fleet (1896). A.S. Altekar however was the first to bring out a comprehensive and authentic work on the Rastrakutas in 1834. The present work aims at providing a re appraisal of the old notions and historical reconstruction of the period under investigation. This is mainly because during the last more than five decades after Altekar's work a huge corpus of new inscriptions and research papers has appeared. 256 pp.<
