Question

Why is the period after harshavardhans death called a period of political instability?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Harshavardhana was an able ruler and administrator. His administration was modeled with charity, generosity, and public service. He followed the example of Samudragupta and became a practical man.

His royal decree ran from Kashmir to Assam and from Gujarat to Orissa making him the supreme sovereign of Northern India.

After the decline of the Gupta empire the Northern India was in a stage of disintegration. Several small and independent states sprang up into prominence and remained busy in internecine quarrels.
