Answers
Explanation:
While preparing for extensive wars, Harsha thought it his first urgent duty to rescue his sister, Rajyasri. The Chief Minister Bhandi brought the news that Rajyasri, soon after she was thrown into prison in Kanauj managed to escape from her confinement and had gone away towards the Vindhya forests. Harsha forthwith proceeded towards the Vindhyas in search of his sister. The forest-chiefs of those wild regions as well as some monks helped him in that difficult task. Rajyasri was finally traced and rescued when she was about to throw herself into fire and die. With that noble work done, Harsha was free to conduct his military campaigns.
India at the accession of Harsha presented a fertile ground for the rise of a strong monarchy. For more than a century after the fall of the Guptas, India passed through a phase of political disruption. The ideal of a Chakravarti King had almost been forgotten when no king could rise to the occasion to take up a digvijaya to subdue the smaller kings. Harsha possessed the heroic qualities of a warrior to take up that lost legacy of the Mauryas and the Guptas. Though very young, he was brave and ambitious enough to start his campaigns to bring a vast area of India under one imperial umbrella.
