1.	Harsha and Pulkeshi II were brave, then why did they fight? Why did they not fight again?
Answer» Harshvardhana was the king of most of the regions of north India. Hence, he wanted to expand his kingdom till south India. On the other hand, Pulkeshi II was the king of the regions of south India. Hence he wanted to expand his kingdom till north India. When Harshvardhana left with his army to attack Pulkeshi II, at the same time the latter also left with his army to attack Harshvardhana. Both the armies met at Narmada. This led into a great war. Pulkeshi II defeated Harshvardhana in the war. Hence, Harshvardhana could not expand his kingdom. However, Harshvardhana was a contented king. He was not greedy. So he never thought of fighting with Pulkeshi II again. He preferred to return to his kingdom and administer his regions well.
