This article is a list of the various dynasties and monarchs that have ruled in the Indian subcontinent and it is one of several lists of incumbents .
The Indian subcontinent , the main centre of Indian culture
The earliest Indian rulers are known from epigraphical sources found in archeological inscriptions on Ashokan edicts [ 1] [ 2] written in Pali language and using brahmi script. They are also known from the literary sources like Sanskrit literature , Jain literature and Buddhist literature in context of literary sources . Archaeological sources include archeological remains in Indian subcontinent which give many details about earlier kingdoms, monarchs, and their interactions with each other.
Early types of historic documentation include metal coins with an indication of the ruler, or at least the dynasty , at the time. These Punch-marked coins were issued around 600s BCE and are found in abundance from the Maurya Empire in 300s BCE. There are also stone inscriptions and documentary records from foreign cultures from around this time. The main imperial or quasi-imperial rulers of North India are fairly clear from this point on, but many local rulers, and the situation in the Deccan and South India has less clear stone inscriptions from early centuries. Main sources of South Indian history is Sangam Literature dated from 300s BCE. Time period of ancient Indian rulers is speculative, or at least uncertain.

Varman dynasty of Kannauj (c. 725–770 CE)[ edit ]
Rashtrakuta Empire of Manyakheta (c. 735–982 CE)[ edit ]
Tomar dynasty of Delhi (c. 736–1151 CE)[ edit ]
Various historical texts provide different lists of the Tomara kings:[ 26]
Khadag Rai's history of Gwalior (Gopācala ākhyāna ) names 18 Tomara kings, plus Prithvi Pala (who is probably the Chahamana king Prithviraja III ). According to Khadag Rai, Delhi was originally ruled by the legendary king Vikramaditya . It was deserted for 792 years after his death, until Bilan Dev [Veer Mahadev or Birmaha] of Tomara dynasty re-established the city (in 736 CE).
The Kumaon-Garhwal manuscript names only 15 rulers of "Toar" dynasty, and dates the beginning of their rule to 789 CE (846 Vikram Samvat ).
Abul Fazl 's Ain-i-Akbari (Bikaner manuscript, edited by Syed Ahmad Khan ) names 19 Tomara kings. It places the first Tomara king in 372 CE (429 Vikram Samvat). It might be possible that the era mentioned in the original source used by Abul Fazl was Gupta era , which starts from 318 to 319 CE; Abul Fazl might have mistaken this era to be Vikrama Samvat. If this is true, then the first Tomara king can be dated to 747 CE (429+318), which is better aligned with the other sources.
As stated earlier, the historians doubt the claim that the Tomaras established Delhi in 736 CE.[ 27]

Pala dynasty of Bengal (c. 750 – 1174 CE)[ edit ]
Most of the Pala inscriptions mention only the regnal year as the date of issue, without any well-known calendar era . Because of this, the chronology of the Pala kings is hard to determine.[ 30] Based on their different interpretations of the various epigraphs and historical records, different historians estimate the Pala chronology as follows:[ 31]
RC Majumdar (1971)[ 32]
AM Chowdhury (1967)[ 33]
BP Sinha (1977)[ 34] [failed verification ]

Note:[ 31]
Earlier historians believed that Vigrahapala I and Shurapala I were the two names of the same person. Now, it is known that these two were cousins; they either ruled simultaneously (perhaps over different territories) or in rapid succession.
AM Chowdhury rejects Govindapala and his successor Palapala as the members of the imperial Pala dynasty.
According to BP Sinha, the Gaya inscription can be read as either the "14th year of Govindapala's reign" or "14th year after Govindapala's reign". Thus, two sets of dates are possible.

^ Gogoi records that Sukhrangphaa died without leaving a son and the two ministers administered the kingdom without a king for five years (Gogoi 1968 , p. 273). Gait and others do not record this (Gait 1906 , p. 358), though Baruah does (Baruah 1993 , p. 282)
^ Sutuphaa was the younger brother of Sukhrangphaa, who was settled in a village called Lahanjing. He was invited by the Burhagohain and Borgohain to become the king and he set up his seat at Chapagurinagar (Gogoi 1968 , p. 273)
^ Sukhramphaa was assassinated by the king of the Chutiya kingdom on a barge ride on Suffry river (Gogoi 1968 :273).
^ Sukhangphaa and his chief queen were deposed and executed by the ministers for their autocratic rule (Gogoi 1968 :274).
^ Sudangphaa Bamuni Konwar was born to the second queen of Tyao Khamti in a Brahmin household of Habung (Gogoi 1968 :274–275).
^ Suhenphaa was speared to death in his palace by a Tai-Turung chief in revenge for being accused of theft (Gogoi 1968 :282).
^ Suhungmung was assassinated by a palace staff in a plot engineered by his son, Suklenmung (Gogoi 1968 :309).
^ Suramphaa was deposed by the ministers when he insisted on burying alive a son of each minister in the tomb of his dead step-son (Gogoi 1968 :386). He was later murdered on the instructions of his nephew, the son of his brother and succeeding Swargadeo.
^ Sutingphaa was a sickly king (Noriaya Raja ), who participated in an intrigue by his chief queen to install a prince unpopular with the ministers. He was deposed and later murdered on the instructions of his son and successor king Sutamla (Gogoi 1968 :391–392).
^ Supangmung was grandson of Suleng (Deo Raja ), the second son of Suhungmung (Gogoi 1968 :448).
^ The Maju Gohain , the brother of Chakradhwaj Singha, became the king. (Gogoi 1968 , p. 470)
^ Udayaaditya Sinha's palace was stormed by his brother (and successor king) with a thousand-strong contingent of men led by Lasham Debera, and the king was executed the next day. Udayaaditya's religious fanaticism under the influence of a godman had made him unpopular, and the three great gohains implicitly supported this group (Gogoi 1968 :479–482). This event started a very unstable nine-year period of weak kings, dominated by Debera Borbarua, Atan Burhagohain and Laluk-sola Borphukan in succession. This period ended with the accession of Gadadhar Singha .
^ Ramadhwaj Sinha was poisoned on the instructions of Debera Borbarua when he tried to assert his authority (Gogoi 1968 :484).
^ Deyell, John S. Ahom Language Coins of Assam .
^ The Samaguria raja was deposed by Debera Borbarua, the de facto ruler, and later executed, along with his queen and her brother (Gogoi 1968 :486).
^ Gobar Rojaa was the son of Saranga, the son of Suten, the son of Suhungmung Dihingiya Roja.
^ Gobar Raja was deposed and executed by the Saraighatias (the commanders of Saraighat/Guwahati), led by Atan Burhagohain (Gogoi 1968 :486–488). Their target was the de facto ruler, Debera Borbarua, who was also executed.
^ After Ramdhwaj Singha, Chamaguriya Khamjang Konwar alias Shujinpha ruled only 20 days from 10 April 1674 (e.i. Lakni Kat plao (or 26th year) of 18th Taosinga Circle) and on 30 April he was killed. There after Tungkhongiya Gobar Raja rose only 12 ruled. Both were killed by the powerful minister Debera Baruah. After Gobar Raja two more Prince rose only for another 12 days who are not recorded in chronicles. The title of Suhung is suitable for Dihingia Arjun Konwar, who minted coins and ruled more than six months and the minted year 1675 is his rising year (e.i. Lakni khut ni (or 27th year) of 18th Taosinga Circle) -- (Phukan, J.N. (1987). Reattribution of the Coins of Suhung )
^ Dihingia Arjun Konwar tried to assert control by moving against the de facto ruler, Atan Burhagohain , but was routed in a skirmish. Sujinphaa was blinded and held captive when he committed suicide by striking his head against a stone (Gogoi 1968 :489).
^ Sudoiphaa was the grandson of Suhungmung's third son, Suteng (Gogoi 1968 :490).
^ Sudoiphaa was deposed by Laluk-sola Borphukan, who styled himself as the Burhaphukan, and later executed. Atan Burhagohain , the powerful minister, had been executed earlier (Gogoi 1968 :492–493).
^ Sulikphaa Lora Roja was deposed and then executed by Gadadhar Singha (Gogoi 1968 :496–497).
^ Kamaleswar Singha was installed as the king by Purnananda Burhagohain when he was still an infant. He was the son of Kadam Dighala, the son of Ayusut, the son of Lechai, the second son of Gadadhar Singha . Kadam Dighala, who could not become the king because of physical blemishes, was an important influence during the reign (Baruah 1993 :148–150).
^ a b Chandrakanta Singha was deposed by Ruchinath Burhagohain, mutilated and confined as a prisoner near Jorhat (Baruah 1993 :221). The Burhagohain choose Brajanath, a descendant of Suremphaa Pramatta Singha, as the king and coins were struck in the new king's name, but it was discovered that he had mutilations on his person and his son, Purandar Singha, was instated instead (Gait 1906 :223).
^ Purandar Singha's forces under Jaganath Dhekial Phukan defeated the forces led by the Burmese general Kee-Woomingee (Kiamingi or Alumingi Borgohain) on 15 February 1819, but due to a strategic mistake Jorhat fell into Burmese hands. Kiamingi brought back Chandrakanta Singha and installed him the king (Baruah 1993 :221–222).
^ Chandrakanta Singha fled to Guwahati when the army of Bagyidaw king of Burma, led by Mingimaha Tilwa, approached Jorhat (Baruah 1993 :223).
^ Jogeshwar Singha was the brother of Hemo Aideu, one of the queens of Bagyidaw . He was installed as the king by Mingimaha Tilwa (Baruah 1993 :223).
^ Jogeshwar Singha was removed from all pretense of power and Mingimaha Tilwa was declared the "Raja of Assam" toward the end of June 1822 (Baruah 1993 :225).
^ Purandar Singha was set up by the East India Company as the tributary Raja of Upper Assam (Baruah 1993 :244).
