About The Book: This book illuminates the history of King Harsa, distinguished for its extensive source material, a rarity among early Indian rulers. Chronicled in the Harsa-charita by Bana, his court poet, the narrative provides valuable insights into his life and rule, albeit with occasional poetic flourishes. Yuan Chwang's firsthand observations further enhance our comprehension of Harsa's era, while inscriptions by Harsa and contemporaries like Pulakesin II offer additional perspectives on governance and administration. Stemming from lectures at Calcutta and Lucknow Universities, this comprehensive volume thoroughly examines Harsa's reign, encompassing his military campaigns, administrative strategies, religious practices, economic policies, and social dynamics. Harsa emerges as a pivotal figure in Indian history, leaving an indelible imprint on the subcontinent through his conquests and governance.
