Select an option to attempt

Explanation

None of the listed dynasties established their kingdoms in the early eighth century AD (701-800 AD).

Hoysala - 1006 AD
Gahadavala - 1026 AD
Kakatiya - 1000 AD (established as a sub-feudatory, declared independence around the 10th century)
Yadava - 850 AD (although some sources suggest a later date)

Even the earliest of these estimates (Yadava dynasty) falls outside the early eighth-century range. Please note: Early eighth century AD refers to the beginning of the medieval period. At that time, there were 3 major dynasties that established their empires in India - Palas, Pratiharas, Rashtrakutas.
