Hint: The Chalukyas were ruling Southern and Central India from the 6th to 12th century. In the North, the Chachas dynasty began ruling over Sindh by 700 AD.

Complete answer:
We do find inscriptions for the period after 700 AD.
Some examples include:-
(i)A Sanskrit prashasti describing the achievements of Nagabhatta, a Pratihara king has been found in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh.
(ii)Copper plates have been recovered describing land grants made by kings to their subjects.
(iii)A Chola king, Rajaraja I inscribed his military achievements on the walls of the Brihadeswara temple in Thanjavur, which was constructed during his rule.
(iv)Inscriptions have been discovered from Uttaramerur in Chinglepur, Tamil Nadu, they give information about the Chola assemblies.
Thus, the statement is false.

Note: Inscriptions are writings or drawings usually engraved on a hard surface like stone, copper, wood, walls and the study of these inscriptions is called epigraphy.
Prashastis are inscriptions which tell us about the rule or achievements of a king.
