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

Individual cases of upward mobility of peasants turned artists from Giotto to Beccafumi is striking.he rate of social mobility in Renaissance Italy, one could assert that it was relatively high in the cities of fifteenth-century Italy, such as Florence, with ‘new men’ coming in from the countryside and becoming citizens and holding office. The Italian society was by and large a highly urban one. It did not fit into the traditional model of a society divided into clergy, nobles and peasants. Renaissance Florence and other cities were populated with the bourgeois comprising merchants, professional men, craftsmen and shop-keepers.

  Understanding the emergence of bhakti  The bhakti movements were an important force in the religious history of South India between the 7th and 12th centuries. The saints of South India are largely unknown outside the region, but they were the first to experience the intense love of God that marked bhakti religion.

Unlike earthen dams,...
