This video is about the Kannada Rashtrakuta Dynasty, which established a powerful, highly-militaristic empire that ruled for over two hundred years. The Rashtrakutas "Tripartite" struggle with the Pratiharas and the Palas over the heart of North India -- Kannauj -- is fundamental to the politics and history of the early medieval era in India.

It may surprise many casual Indian history buffs to learn that for many decades between the 8th and 10th centuries CE, there were Kannada speaking soldiers and nobles conquering and administering large swathes of North, West, and Central India.

Enjoy!
