Which of the following is not associated with Magadha?
AHaryanka
BKaivarta ✓ Correct
CShaishunaga
DNanda
Correct answer: (B) Kaivarta — The answer is Kaivarta, which is not associated with Magadha.
Explanation
★The answer is Kaivarta, which is not associated with Magadha.
★The Haryanka dynasty founded by Bimbisara was the first dynasty of Magadha and peaked under Ajatashatru.
★The Shaishunaga dynasty followed and incorporated Avanti into Magadha.
★The Nanda dynasty, founded by Mahapadmananda, was the last of Magadha, ending with Dhanananda.
★The Kaivartas were a community linked with a later Bengal revolt, not with Magadhan dynastic history.
★So Kaivarta is the odd one out among these Magadhan dynasties.
