Liste des monarques indiens

0

La liste suivante de monarques indiens est l’une des nombreuses listes de titulaires . Il comprend ceux qui auraient gouverné une partie du sous-continent indien , y compris le Sri Lanka .

L’Asie du Sud , principal centre de la culture indienne

Les premiers dirigeants indiens ne sont connus que par la littérature sanskrite , en particulier les épopées Mahabharata et Ramayana , qui donnent toutes deux de nombreux détails sur les monarques et leurs interactions les unes avec les autres. De nombreux historiens les considèrent comme les sources les plus pertinentes de la première période historique et ces épopées ont été développées plusieurs siècles après la période principale.

Les premiers types de documentation historique comprennent des pièces de monnaie en métal avec une indication du souverain, ou du moins de la dynastie , à l’époque. Ces pièces poinçonnées ont été émises vers 600 avant notre ère et en abondance sous l’ empire Maurya en 300 avant notre ère. Il existe également des inscriptions sur pierre et des documents documentaires de cultures étrangères de cette époque.

Les principaux dirigeants impériaux ou quasi-impériaux de l’Inde du Nord sont assez clairs à partir de ce moment, mais les nombreux dirigeants locaux, et la situation dans le Deccan et l’Inde du Sud sont moins clairs que les inscriptions en pierre des premiers siècles. Les principales sources de l’histoire du sud de l’Inde sont la littérature Sangam datée de 300 avant notre ère. Les dates de nombreux dirigeants sont spéculatives, ou du moins incertaines. Les débuts de l’histoire de nombreuses dynasties de l’Inde ancienne et sont actuellement incertains.

Kalhana mentionne un roi appelé Toramana, mais le place beaucoup plus tard, dans le livre 3. [13] Selon Kalhana, Mihirakula était un dirigeant cruel qui a ordonné le meurtre d’un grand nombre de personnes, dont des enfants, des femmes et des personnes âgées. Il envahit le royaume cinghalais et remplaça leur roi par un homme cruel. Alors qu’il traversait Chola , Karnataet d’autres royaumes sur le chemin du retour au Cachemire, les dirigeants de ces royaumes ont fui leurs capitales et ne sont revenus qu’après son départ. A son retour au Cachemire, il ordonna de tuer 100 éléphants, qui avaient été effrayés par les cris d’un éléphant tombé. Une fois, Mihirakula rêva qu’une pierre particulière ne pouvait être déplacée que par une femme chaste. Il a mis cela à l’épreuve : les femmes incapables de déplacer la pierre ont été tuées, ainsi que leurs maris, fils et frères. Il était soutenu par des brahmanes immoraux. Dans sa vieillesse, le roi s’est immolé.

Dans sa vieillesse, le roi sans enfant a ordonné de tuer Sandhimati pour empêcher toute chance qu’il devienne roi. Il est mort après avoir entendu parler de la fausse nouvelle de la mort de Sandhimati.
Sandhimati 47 ans 22 avant notre ère Sandhimati a été choisi par les citoyens comme nouveau dirigeant. Il monta sur le trône à contrecœur, à la demande de son gourou Ishana. C’était un fervent shaivite et son règne fut marqué par la paix. Il remplit sa cour de rishis (sages) et passa son temps dans des retraites en forêt. Par conséquent, ses ministres l’ont remplacé par Meghavahana, un descendant de Yudhishthira I. Il a volontairement abandonné le trône.

Circa 7th century CE, Kashmir.[14] Meghavahana était le fils de l’arrière-petit-fils de Yudhisthira Ier, qui avait obtenu l’asile de Gopaditya, le roi du Gandhara . Meghavahana avait été choisi le mari d’une princesse Vaishnavite à Swayamvara dans un autre royaume. Les ministres du Cachemire l’ont amené au Cachemire après que Sandhimati se soit avéré être un roi réticent. Meghavahana a interdit l’abattage des animaux et indemnisé ceux qui gagnaient leur vie grâce à la chasse. Il patronna les brahmanes et fonda un monastère. Ses reines ont construit des viharas et des monastères bouddhistes. Il a maîtrisé les rois dans des régions aussi éloignées que le royaume cinghalais , les forçant à abandonner l’abattage des animaux.

Le fils de Toramana, Pravarasena, qui avait été élevé dans le secret par sa mère Anjana, l’a libéré. Hiranya est mort sans enfant. Plusieurs pièces de monnaie d’un roi nommé Toramana ont été trouvées dans la région du Cachemire. Ce roi est identifié par certains au souverain Huna Toramana , bien que son successeur Mihirakula soit placé beaucoup plus tôt par Kalhana. [13]
Matrigupta 4 ans, 9 mois, 1 jour 120 CE Selon Kalhana, l’empereur Vikramditya (alias Harsha) d’ Ujjayini a vaincu les Shakas et a fait de son ami et poète Matrigupta le souverain du Cachemire. Après la mort de Vikramaditya, Matrigupta a abdiqué le trône en faveur de Pravarasena. Selon DC Sircar, Kalhana a confondu le légendaire Vikramaditya d’Ujjain avec l’empereur Vardhana Harsha (vers 606–47 CE). [15] Ce dernier est identifié avec Shiladitya mentionné dans le récit de Xuanzang . Cependant, selon MA Stein, le Vikramaditya de Kalhana est un autre Shiladitya mentionné dans le récit de Xuanzang : un roi de Malwa vers 580 CE. [16]
Pravarasena II 60 ans 125 CE Coinage of Pravarasena, supposed founder of Srinagar. Obverse: Standing king with two figured seated below. Name "Pravarasena". Reverse: goddess seated on a lion.

Reverse: goddess seated on a lion. Legend "Kidāra". Circa 6th-early 7th century CE.[14] Des preuves historiques suggèrent qu’un roi nommé Pravarasena a gouverné le Cachemire au 6ème siècle de notre ère. [13] Selon Kalhana, Pravarasena a maîtrisé beaucoup d’autres rois, dans les terres aussi loin que Saurashtra . Il a rétabli le règne du fils de Vikramaditya, Pratapshila (alias Shiladitya), qui avait été expulsé d’Ujjain par ses ennemis. Pratapshila a accepté d’être un vassal de Pravarasena après une résistance initiale. Il a fondé une ville appelée Pravarapura, qui est identifiée par les historiens ultérieurs comme la ville moderne de Srinagar sur la base de détails topographiques. [17]
Yudhishthira II 39 ans, 8 mois 185 EC Fils de Pravarasena
Narendraditya I (Lakshmana) 13 ans 206 CE Fils de Yudhishthira II et Padmavati

Sa reine Ranarambha était une incarnation de Bhramaravasini. Le roi Chola Ratisena l’avait trouvée parmi les vagues, lors d’un rituel de culte de l’océan.
Vikramaditya 42 ans 519 CE Fils de Ranaditya
Baladitya 36 ans, 8 mois 561 CE Frère cadet de Vikramaditya. Il a maîtrisé plusieurs ennemis. Un astrologue a prophétisé que son gendre lui succéderait comme roi. Pour éviter ce résultat, le roi a épousé sa fille Anangalekha à Durlabhavardhana, un homme beau mais non royal de la caste Ashvaghama Kayastha .

Tomar dynasty of Delhi (c. 736–1151 CE)

Various historical texts provide different lists of the Tomara kings:[79]

  • 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.[80]

Pala Empire (c. 750–1174 CE)

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.[83] Based on their different interpretations of the various epigraphs and historical records, different historians estimate the Pala chronology as follows:[84]

RC Majumdar (1971)[85] AM Chowdhury (1967)[86] BP Sinha (1977)[87] [failed verification] DC Sircar (1975–76)[88] D. K. Ganguly (1994)[83]

Devapala 810–c. 850 821–861 820–860 812–850 806–845
Mahendrapala NA (Mahendrapala’s existence was conclusively established through a copper-plate charter discovered later.) 845–860
Shurapala I Deemed to be alternate name of Vigrahapala I 850–858 860–872
Gopala II NA (copper-plate charter discovered in 1995. Text of inscription published in 2009.)
Vigrahapala I 850–853 861–866 860–865 858–60 872–873

Kumarapala 1130–1140 1124–1129 1132–1136 1126–1128 1126–1128

Palapala NA NA NA 1165–1199 1165–1200

Note:[84]

  • 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.

Ruler Reign Notes
Gulab Singh Maharaja Gulab Singh of Jammu and Kashmir.jpg 1846–1856 CE Founder of Dogra dynasty and the first Maharaja of the Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir, the second largest princely state under the British Raj, which was created after the defeat of the Sikh Empire in the First Anglo-Sikh War. The Treaty of Amritsar (1846) formalised the sale by the British to Gulab Singh for 7,500,000 Nanakshahee Rupees of all the lands in Jammu and Kashmir that were ceded to them by the Sikhs by the Treaty of Lahore.
Ranbir Singh Maharajah Ranbir Singh of Jammu and Kashmir.jpg 1856–1885 CE Ascended the throne in 1856 after Gulab Singh’s abdication due to poor health. He allied with the British during the Sepoy Mutiny. Unlike European women and children, Indian mutineers were not allowed to take refuge in his state. He also sent his troops to help the British to besiege Delhi. He was subsequently rewarded for his behaviour during the mutiny. He went on to annex Gilgit which had previously witnessed a rebellion against the state. He also established a modern judicial system. Civil and criminal laws were compiled into the Ranbir Penal Code during his reign.
Pratap Singh Maharaja Partab Singh (1848 - 1925).jpg 1885–1925 CE Reigned for 40 years from 1885 to 1925, the longest of all the Dogra rulers. Out of the four Dogra rulers, Maharaja Pratap Singh’s era was a period of enlightenment for his subjects, particularly for Kashmiris. He established local self governing bodies, democratic processes, educational systems, health care and hygiene and infrastructure development during his reign. A beginning was made in local self-government by establishing municipalities at Jammu, Srinagar, Sopore and Baramulla. By 1925, then Kashmir, particularly Srinagar had undergone significant social and cultural transformation.
Hari Singh Maharaja hari singh ji.jpg 1925–1952 CE Ascended the throne following the death of his uncle, Maharaja Pratap Singh in 1925. He made primary education compulsory in the state, introduced laws prohibiting child marriage, and opened places of worship to the low castes. He signed the Instrument of Accession of Jammu and Kashmir to the Union of India on 26 October 1947, through which the Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir became a part of the Dominion of India. He remained the titular Maharaja of the state until 1952, when the monarchy was abolished by Government of India under Jawaharlal Nehru.
