Kanva dynasty (73 to 28 BCE)

 

·         Kanva dynasty (73 to 28 BCE): The founder of the Kanva dynasty was Vasudeva Kanva, the minister under the last Sunga king Devabhuti.

·         The Harshacharita narrates that Devabhuti became the victim of a conspirancy masterminded by this brahmana minister Vasudeva, who went on to found the Kanva dynasty. It is known from the Puranic evidence that four rulers of this dynasty ruled over Magadha for forty five years.

·         They are Vasudeva, Bhumimitra, Narayana and Susarman. Their kingdom was limited to the confines of Pataliputra.

·         It is stated in the Puranas that the Kanvas were overthrown by the Satavahanas. Thus the Kanva rule came to an end by 28 BCE.

·         The rule of the Kanvas was a passing phase in the history of Ancient India. After the fall of the Kanvas, the history of Magadha was a blank until the establishment of the Gupta Empire.

·         The fall of the two Brahmana dynasties was followed by the rise of the independent principalities of Ayodhya, Kaushambi, Mathura and Ahichchatra.

·         The tribal states which had earlier succumbed to the might of the Mauryas now seem to have reasserted themselves.

·          The Arjunayanas, the Adumbaras, the Kunindas, the Trigartas, the Yaudheyas, the Agastyas were the prominent independent families of North India

  Political economy plays a crucial role in ensuring that technological advancements lead to shared prosperity rather than exacerbating inequalities. Here’s how: Regulation and Governance : Political decisions shape the regulatory framework that governs how technologies are developed, deployed, and used.
