Samuel Choi CHAPTER 15 OUTLINE Islamic and Hindu Kingdoms The Quest or Centralized Imperial Rule Harsha After the collapse of the Gupta dynasty, the idea of centralized rule did not completely disappear. King Harsha temporarily unified Northern India, and invaded the other kingdoms of northern India.

Sam Choi CHAPTER 12 OUTLINE Long-Distance Trade and The Silk Roads Network Trade Networks of the Hellenistic Era The frequency of long-distance trade increased during the Hellenistic era.
