Question:

Who among the following was the founder of the Kanva dynasty?

Options:

Narayana

Susharman

Vasudev

Devabhuti 

Correct Answer:

Vasudev

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3- Vasudev

Vasudeva Kanva was the founder of the Kanva dynasty.

 

Narayana, Susharman, and Devabhuti were all rulers of the Kanva dynasty, but they were not the founders.

The Kanva dynasty was a short-lived dynasty that ruled in North India from 73 to 28 BCE. It was founded by Vasudeva Kanva, who was a Brahmin minister of the Shunga dynasty. Vasudeva Kanva killed the last Shunga ruler, Devabhuti, and established the Kanva dynasty.

The Kanva dynasty only lasted for four generations, and it was eventually overthrown by the Satavahana dynasty.
