The Post-Gupta Era (up to 750 AD)

1. After the decline of the Gupta Empire, there was not a single dynasty that ruled on the entire kingdom, rather, India was divided into several Provincial kingdoms. The lack of unity among the indigenous kingdoms gave room for the foreign invaders to exploit India and even to establish their respective kingdoms. Given below is the list of major provincial kingdoms.

2. The immediate successor of the Gupta rulers was feudal from different parts of India. It was due to the excessive land grants given by the Gupta rulers that resulted in the emergence of different regional powers.
