Q. The famous kshatrapa “Rudradaman” was associated with which of the following?

[A] Sakas

[B] Parthians

[C] Kushans

[D] Indo – Greeks

Answer: A
Notes:

Explanation: In India, the Sakas became assimilated into Hindu society. They began to adopt Hindu names and religious beliefs, so much so that their coins had representations of Hindu gods on one side.

  • The Sakas appointed kshatrapas or satraps as provincial governors to administer their territories.
  • Many of the kshatrapas titled themselves mahakshatrapas and were virtually independent rulers.
  • One of the most famous of the Saka kshatrapas was Rudradaman (130–150 CE).
