History of India, 550 AD to 1300 AD, The Early Medieval Period

The Early Medieval Period in Indian history is considered to have begun around 550 AD and ended around 1300 AD.

During this period, Indian society was divided into a number of small kingdoms, each ruled by a local king or chieftain.

This period is also known as the 'Age of the Rajputs' because the Rajputs were the dominant ruling caste during this time.

This period saw the rise of many powerful kingdoms, most notably the Chola, the Rashtrakuta and the Pala Dynasties.

This period also saw the emergence of Hinduism as the dominant religion in India, with Buddhism and Jainism becoming increasingly marginalised.

This period saw the development of many cultural institutions, such as the Bhakti movement, which focused on a more personal relationship with God.

This period also saw the rise of the Gupta Empire, which was known for its advancement in science, literature, art and architecture.
