You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.170.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 July 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Kamarupa))
((Assam History))
The '''Pala dynasty''' of [[Kamarupa kingdom]] ruled from 900 CE. Like the [[Pala Empire]] of [[Bengal]], the first ruler in this dynasty was elected, which probably explains the name of this dynasty "Pala". But unlike the Palas of Bengal, who were [[Buddhist]]s, the Palas of Kamarupa were Hindus. The Hindu orthodoxy drew their lineage from the earlier [[Varman dynasty]] and thus ultimately from [[Narakasura]] i.e. [[Bhauma dynasty]]. The dynasty is unrelated to the previous Varman and [[Mlechchha dynasty|Mlecchna]] dynasties.<ref>"From a close reading of the royal genealogy, it is apparent that there was no unilineal development of dynasties and definite connection among them. In fact, the Mlecchas and the Pālas denied the validity of previous dynasty for claiming their own legitimacy and the character and identity of progenitor, Naraka, were continuously re-formulated according to the socio-political changes."((harvcol|Shin|2018|p=127))</ref>

The Palas were the last dynasty to rule Kamarupa.  After the collapse of the Pala rule, Kamarupa disintegrated, to be followed in due course by the [[Ahom kingdom|Ahom]],<ref>"Whereas the rulers of Kamarupa were losing their hold and authority over their possessions owing to the internal dissenssion, they were finally overtaken by a small group of Tai-Shans who later became the lord of the land also became one with the indigenous people in their fight against invaders from the west," ((harvcol|Baruah|1986|p=172))</ref> [[Chutia Kingdom|Chutia]],<ref>"Amongst the numerous kingdoms in the upper Brahmaputra valley, which emerged on the political scene following the extinction of the Palas, those of the Chutiyas and the Kacharis, both of whom are indigenous people of Assam, were the most powerful." ((harvcol|Baruah|1986|p=181))</ref> and [[Kachari kingdom|Kachari]]<ref>"Another powerful kingdom that rose into prominence after the fall of the Palas was that of the Kacharis." ((harvcol|Baruah|1986|p=186))</ref> kingdoms, and the confederate rule of the [[Baro-Bhuyan]]s.<ref>"[A] class of new rulers called Bhuyans rose into considerable prominence following the disintegration of the ancient kingdom of Kamarupa." ((harvcol|Baruah|1986|p=193))</ref>

== History ==
It is interesting to note that the term "Kamarupa" rarely appeared in the records of the Pala rulers; instead they used [[Pragjyotisha Kingdom|Pragjyotisha]], the legendary kingdom of the epics, to [[Legitimation|legitimise]] their authority.<ref>"It is conspicuous that the name Kamarupa scarcely appeared in these records.The Palas seems to have placed more emphasis on a prolonged spatial continuity of the kingdom by adopting Pragjyotisa as the name of their sovereign space. It constituted a part of the Palas' strategy for validating their political power, which was far more complicated than that of previous dynasties."((harvcol|Shin|2018|p=36))</ref> The Pala kings of Kamarupa assumed the title of paramadaivata paramabhattāraka mahārājādirāja (the imperial title of the [[Gupta Empire|Gupta]]s), sri-vārāha (the one who can trace his origin to [[Varaha|Varāha]]) and prāigjyotisādhipati (the ruler of Prāgjyotisa).<ref>((harvcol|Shin|2018|p=39))</ref>
The Pala dynasty came to an end when Kamarupa was invaded by the [[Gauḍa (region)|Gaur]] king [[Ramapala]] (c. 1072-1126). Timgyadeva was made the governor of Kamarupa who ruled between 1110 and 1126. Timgyadeva threw off the yoke of the Pala king and ruled independently for some years when he was attacked and replaced by Vaidyadeva under Ramapala's son [[Kumarapala (Pala king)|Kumarapala]]. Vaidyadeva, who ruled between 1126 and 1140, declared independence within four years of his rule after the death of Kumarapala. Both Timgyadeva and Vaidyadeva issued grants in the style of the Kamarupa kings (three copper plates attached to the seal of the Kamarupa kings by a ring). The work of the Pala dynasty of Kamarupa is reflected in the [[Madan Kamdev]] sculpture.
