Gopala

After the collapse of Harshvardhana Empire and before Gopala became a King, north India was full of independent states and small kingdoms.
They used to fight over each other for control and power, either there was no law and order. The foreigner took advantage of this situation and invade to the country.
During this period Gopala became the king of Bengal.

According to the sources, he brought law and order to his region.
Gopala had a son Dharmapala, and he descended his throne to his son.

After the Devapala, there was no worthy ruler to rule, which became the reason for the downfall of the Palas Dynasty.
