5. Which dynasty ruled large parts of Maharashtra just before the rise of the Marathas?
Remember this flow: “Satavahana → Rashtrakuta → Yadava → Bahmani.” Most MPSC history questions test dynasties in sequence. Link each dynasty with one key feature: Satavahana (trade & coins), Rashtrakuta (Ellora), Yadava (Devagiri) and Bahmani (Deccan Sultanate). This timeline trick saves time and avoids confusion.

This concept is very important for MPSC geography questions.
