Question

what do you understand by the Tripartite struggle?

Answer 1

Instructions:
Describe Tripartite struggle.

Solution: Kannauj was the capital of king Harshavardhana.
Its geographical location was such that whoever had power over Kannauj could control the Ganga Valley.
The desire to control Kannauj and Ganga Valley resulted in a struggle between the three powers- the Palas, Gurjara-Paratiharas, and the Rashtrakutas.
This struggle continued for about two centuries, that’s two hundred years. And historians have called it the "Tripartite Struggle".
This struggle for Kannauj economically weakened all three dynasties.
