Answer 1

Answer: The Middle kingdoms of India were the political entities in India from 200 BC to 1200 AD. The period begins after the decline of the Maurya Empire and the corresponding rise of the Satavahana dynasty, starting with Simuka, from 230 BC.[dubious – discuss] The "Middle" period lasted for about 1,500 years and ended in 1200 AD, with the rise of the Delhi Sultanate, founded in 1206, and the end of the Later Cholas (Rajendra Chola III, who died in 1279 AD).

This period encompasses two eras: Classical India, from the Maurya Empire up until the end of the Gupta Empire in 500 AD, and early Medieval India from 500 AD onwards.[1] It also encompasses the era of classical Hinduism, which is dated from 200 BCE to 1100 CE.[2] From 1 AD until 1000 AD, India's economy is estimated to have been the largest in the world, having between one-third and one-quarter of the world's wealth.[3][4] It is followed by the late Medieval period in the 13th century.
