What were the main characteristics of early medieval polities in peninsular India 20 between 8 ^th -12^th centuries A.D.?

Early Medieval India The focus here is on two major characteristics of the early medieval period, the structure and scale of the political forms  which evolved and the gradual development of regional cultures and economies.

Some authors divide the subcontinent up into four major regions, or mega-regions: south, east, central and north India. Burton Stein has  pointed to the existence of six major regions, the south, the west (containing Maharashtra and Gujarat), the east, the north, the central and the northwest (containing Punjab, Sind, and Baluchistan) . These divisions are relevant to a discussion of the kinds of states which appeared in the  early medieval centuries. Stein figuresthat between 500 AD and 1700, about 20 kingdoms succeeded in extending their sovereignty beyond a  single mega-region, if we count the mega-regions as six in number. Two thirds of these were ruled by Hindu dynasties, but the most durable of  these imperial states was the Muslim Mughal empire, from about the middle of Akbar‟s reign, around 1580, to the reign of Muhammad Shah in  1730. Dominance in more than one region by almost all of these states was usually the accomplishment of a single ruler, a great conquering  warrior likePulakesin II of the seventh century Chalukyan kingdom or the mid-tenth century Krisna II of _________ _____ __________ __________ _____ _________ ________ ________ __________ _____ ________.
