आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

Sister of King Jayasimha II (1015–1042
C.E.), a monarch in the Chalukya
dynasty that ruled large parts of the
Deccan peninsula. Akkadevi was important not only through her family connections but also because she served as
a provincial governor in her brother’s
kingdom. Her example shows that
women in powerful families have often
been able to overcome the seeming
social disadvantages imposed by their
gender, a maxim proven most recently
by Sonia Gandhi.
