Question

Which one of the following option is NOT correct regarding the contemporaries of Vijayanagara empire?

Options

• Establishment of the Gajapati Kingdom of Orissa

• Establishment of the Sultanates of Malwa

• Emergence of Sultanates of Bijapur

• Rise of the Chalukyas in Karnataka

Answer 1

Rise of the Chalukyas in Karnataka

Explanation:

The Vijayanagara kingdom came into being after the Chalukya dynasty had already established itself and begun to fall severely. From the sixth to the twelfth centuries, the Chalukyas dominated Karnataka and other southern Indian states, mostly in the Deccan. By the 14th century, when the Vijayanagara empire gained power, the Chalukya dynasty had mostly vanished. As a result, the Chalukyas' ascent in Karnataka did not coincide with the Vijayanagara kingdom.
