In 10th century India, Queen Didda became the ruler of which of the following regions of north India?
Kashmir
Correct Answer: Kashmir
Queen Didda (c. 958–1003 CE) was a powerful female ruler of Kashmir during the 10th and early 11th centuries. She belonged to the Lohara dynasty and initially served as regent for her young sons and grandsons before ascending the throne as the sovereign ruler of Kashmir.
Daughter of Simharaja, the king of Lohara, and granddaughter of Bhima Shahi of Kabul, Didda was the wife of King Kshemagupta of Kashmir. After his death in 958 CE, she effectively governed Kashmir for nearly 45 years, demonstrating exceptional political and administrative skill.
Her reign is extensively chronicled by the historian Kalhana in his famous work Rajatarangini. She is remembered as one of the most influential queens of early medieval India.
