Sort the order of the dynasties ruling over Kannauj in ascending order (From first to last).

• A. Gurjara-Pratihar
• B. Rashtrakutas
• C. Palas
• D. Gurjara-Pratihar

Answer 1

Kannauj was an important centre for agriculture and trade at that period. It was also connected to the silk route. This made Kannauj a very strategic location to rule over. There were three dynasties involved in the Kannauj- Tripartite struggle. The Gurjara-Pratiharas were the first to rule over Kannauj. The Rashtrakutas were the second to rule over them, and finally came the Palas.
