Why the Pratihara Empire was Broke Up? : Medieval Indian History

The death of Mahendrapala and the war of succession was fought, and with the help of the Rashtracuts, Mahipal’s brother-in-law Bhoj II (910-912) took control of Kannauj, although it was for a short time, as soon as the Rashtrakutas went, Mahipal first (912-944 AD). Overthrow the ban of Bhoj II.

Take advantage of the temporary weakness of the Gurjar-Prataharas, many feudalists of the empire, especially Parmar of Malwa, Chandel of Bundelkhand, Kalkuri of Maha Kokal, Tomar and Chauhan of Haryana started becoming independent.

Southern Indian Emperor Indra III of Rashtrakut Dynasty (999-928 AD) captured Kannauj in 9 12E Although the Gujjar pratahars had retrieved the city, their position remained weak in the ‘10th century’, the Turks attacked from the west, and the attacks of “the Rashtrakuta dynasty” from the south, and progress of the Pala empire in the east were the main reasons for this.

Gujjar-Pratihar lost the control of Rajasthan to its feudal and Chandelas were captured the ‘strategic fort of Gwalior’ in central India around 950 AD.

By the end of the 10th century, a small state centered on Gurjar-Pratihar Kannauj was confined to the state. This empire ended with the demise of the last Gurjara-Pratihar ruler of Kannauj, Yash Pal, in 1036 AD.
