​

Answer 1

At a time when Harshavardhan was trying to unite the North, in the Southern half of India, too, a similar attempt was being made by another royal dynasty.

In 6th Century A.D., there rose to power in the Deccan a dynasty famous as the Chalukya Dynasty. Opinions differ about the origin of this Dynasty.

According to some scholars, the Chalukyas belonged to the race of Kshatriyas and they lived around Ayodhya in the north. But, in course of time, they migrated to the South.
