The post-Gupta era is a period that witnessed the beginnings of the regional identities that took deep roots in course of time.

This formative period requires a detailed study, since many institutions and problems of present-day India owe their origin to this period.

With the disintegration of the Gupta political power centre, the northern half of the subcontinent splintered into ‘warring kingdoms’ and each tried to become a sovereign power.

The basis of this sover­eignty was distinct regionalism and localism that achieved a clear picture and structure in later centuries. The political heirs to the Gupta political power attempted to recreate an empire but, with the exception of the Pratihara kingdom, the attempts of others remained only a distant dream. The ability to establish large kingdoms and empires appears to have shifted to the region beyond the Vindhyas, i.e., the powers of the Deccan and the Tamil country. These powers of the Deccan and the south, the Chalukyas, the Rashtrakutas, the Pallavas and the Cholas showed the greatest vitality in the evolution of the classical Indian civilization.
