Who was not involved in Tripartite Struggle?
Answers
Answer:
Who were the parties involved in the “tripartite struggle”? Answer: Three parties were involved in the “tripartite struggle” and fought for control over Kannauj. These three parties were the Gurjara-Pratihara, Rashtrakuta and Pala dynasties.
The Palas ruled over the eastern half of India, while the Pratiharas ruled over the western half. The Rashtrakutas were the rulers of India's Deccan area. The 'tripartite conflict' between these three dynasties for control of Kannauj is known as such. The Pratihara Empire, the Pala Empire, and the Rashtrakuta Empire were at odds. In the long run, it made all three dynasties vulnerable. This led in the country's political fragmentation, which benefited Middle Eastern Islamic invaders.
Kannauj was on the Ganga Trading Route, which was connected to the Silk Route. Kannauj has become extremely strategic and commercially important as a result. In northern India, it was also the historic capital of the Harshvardhan empire.
Around AD 730, Yashovarman established a kingdom in Kannauj. Between the end of the eighth century and the first part of the ninth century, three kings governed Canauj: Indrayudha, Vijrayudha, and Chakrayudha.
Unfortunately, these kings proved to be weak, and the Kingdom of Kannauj, the Gurjara-Pratiharas of Bhinmal (Rajasthan), the Palas of Bengal and Bihar, and the Rashtrakutas of Manyakheta (Karnataka) waged war against one other to take advantage of Kannauj's enormous economic and strategic power.
This two-hundred-year battle for Kannauj ended with the Gurjara-Pratihara emperor Nagabhata II establishing Kannauj as the Gurjara-Pratihara empire's capital. For nearly three centuries, this kingdom has been ruled.
