Question

How did the Rashtrakutas gained power and independent?

✓

Answer

Rashtrakutas became powerful in the following manner:

Rashtrakutas were subordinates to the Chalukyas of Karnataka.
In the mid-eighth century Dantidurga, a Rashtrakuta chief, overthrew his Chalukyan overlord.
He performed a ritual called Hiranya- garbha with the help of Brahmanas.
This ritual was, then, considered to lead the rebirth of the sacrificer as Kshatriya, even if he was not Kshatriya by birth.
