Rastrakutas were one of the most powerful dynasties of South Indian who ruled from Malkhed and created one of the biggest empires in the whole of South India and India. Their ambition to expand the political boundaries led to several battles and wars with the contemporary dynasties. They not only invaded the Tamil country but also penetrated into the Andhra desha. The Andhradesha, was ruled by the Vengi Chalukyas, a half shoot of a dynasty created by Kubja Vishnuvardhna, the brother of Pulicasin-II. Though, the Vengi rule was safe until, the supremacy of Chalukays of Badami, they became the targets of attack, with the decline of Chalukyas of Badami. They were chiefly troubled by the Rastrakutas on several occasions and many battles took place between them. However, the mighty Rastrakutas were ably challenged by the rulers of Vengi mandala and stiff resistance was posed at every time. In this present paper, an attempt is made to highlight, the political struggle that took place between the Rastrakutas and the Vengi Chalukyas and how many wars were ensured between them towards this. It is a portrayal of the growing political ambitions of the South Indian medieval powers towards their own rise and fall, on the basis of many inscriptions and grants. | | Keywords : | | - Costs and Returns,Labour,
