  The Rashtrakutas were one of the most powerful dynasties in Indian history, ruling vast territories across the Deccan and beyond. Their origins, however, remain a subject of debate among historians due to conflicting inscriptions and interpretations. Some sources trace their roots to the Kannada-speaking regions, while others suggest connections to northern India. Despite the uncertainty, it is widely accepted that the Rashtrakutas emerged as a prominent force in the Deccan by the 8th century. 
  The dynasty first gained prominence under the rule of Dantidurga, who established Rashtrakuta authority by overthrowing the Chalukyas of Badami. However, evidence suggests that the Rashtrakutas had been a significant regional power even before his reign. The earliest references to the name "Rashtrakuta" appear in inscriptions from the 6th and 7th centuries, indicating that they were already influential feudatories before rising to imperial status. Some scholars believe they originally served as administrators or military governors under the Chalukyas before asserting their independence. 
  The question of the dynasty’s ethnic and linguistic identity has long been debated. Some sources claim that they were of Kannada origin, citing inscriptions and literary works composed in the Kannada language under their patronage. Others argue that they may have had northern Indian roots, pointing to their interactions with Rajput and Gurjara clans. Regardless of their precise origins, the Rashtrakutas embraced the cultural diversity of the Deccan, ruling over a population that spoke multiple languages, including Kannada, Sanskrit, and Marathi.

  The Problems of Philosophy

  "The Problems of Philosophy" is a book written by Bertrand Russell and first published in 1912. The book is a concise introduction to some of the central problems in philosophy, and it aims to explain them in an accessible way to a general audience. 
  Russell begins by outlining the distinction between appearance and reality, arguing that things are not always as they seem. He then moves on to discuss the nature of knowledge and truth, and explores the question of how we can be sure that our beliefs are justified. 
  Another important topic in the book is the nature of existence, and Russell asks whether the external world is real or simply a construct of our minds. He also discusses the relationship between mind and body, and the problem of free will. 
  Russell's writing is clear and straightforward, and he uses examples and analogies to help the reader understand complex philosophical concepts. While the book is not intended to be a comprehensive survey of all philosophical problems, it provides an excellent introduction to some of the most important issues in the field, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy.

  Footmarks - A Journey Into our...

  Archaeologist Jim Leary reanimates the past with this riveting 'archaeology of movement' 
   
  All too often we think of the past as static, 'frozen in time', and indeed movement is not always easy to decipher from the archaeological record. With Jim Leary's expert eye we explore the tangible remains, from fossilised footprint tracks to prehistoric wooden trackways, ridgeways, holloways, droveways, green ways, corpse roads, and Roman roads. Isotope studies and archaeogenetics now allow us see the arduous journeys that people made across continents and oceans, proving that migration has been continuous throughout our past, an endless ebb and flow of populations. 
   
  This new story of our past shows that history was warm and full of life, and no doubt at times cold, dark and miserable - but it was never motionless. Footmarks will make you look at the landscape around you with fresh eyes.
