The prominent among them were the Pushyabhutis of Thanesar, the Maukharis of Kanauj and the Maitrakas of Valabhi.The political scene in Peninsular India was no different. South India too witnessed the rise of two important kingdoms under the Chalukyas and the Pallavas respectively during 550\u2013750 AD.<\/li><li><strong>Statement 5 is not correct: <\/strong>The Yadavas initially ruled as feudatories of the Western Chalukyas.
