The famous ‘Tripartite struggle’ for supremacy occurred between which of the following powers?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Gurjar-Pratihara, Rashtrakuta and Palas.
The Tripartite Struggle was a prolonged conflict in early medieval India for the control of Kannauj, a politically strategic city. It occurred between three major powers: the Gurjar-Pratiharas, the Rashtrakutas, and the Palas. This struggle lasted from the 8th to the 10th century and significantly shaped the political landscape of northern India. Each dynasty sought to dominate Kannauj due to its economic and strategic importance. Ultimately, the Gurjar-Pratiharas held it for the longest period, but the constant rivalry weakened all three powers over time.
