Although Emperor Skandhagupta was known as Huna nashaka (the slayer of the hunas) Mihirkula the fiercest Huna invader (even more powerful than Attila) was defeated by King Yashodharma of Malwa. It was the fiercest battle between India Vs Huna invaders. A historical based magnum opus novella named "Kaler Mandira" was written by the eminent Bengali writer Sharadindu Bandopadhyay based on the Huna invasion of India during the reign of the Emperor Skandhagupta in Bengali language.
In reality the huns who came to India (kushans) were fleeing their homeland in central Asia after being defeated and ejected by the xiongnu who were another Hunnic tribe. Indian sources have to exaggerate their strength to make the defeat more palatable but they were actually the weaker Hunnic tribe.

The later Guptas defeated the Huns. The Gupta Empire peaked under Vikramaditya according to the Hindu calendar which was 57 BC. Indian influence extended to Arabia. Indian scholars (Kale) have placed the poet Kalidas in this period, where he was one of the navratnas of Vikramaditya. However Western and Westernised historians place Vikramaditya some centuries later than the well-known Vikram Samvat! You are correct, India was the greatest power in the world some 2000 years ago. According to certain sources, Jesus of Nazareth came to India, learnt the local philosophies and applied them to his land, with long-term consequences. He died in India, and his grave is in Kashmir where he lived long, very highly honoured. That India was NOT at its peak 2000 years ago, is one of the greatest hoaxes in History.

Huns are the only community to invade China, India, Persia, Eastern and Western Roman Empire. But inspite of such devastating military campaigns, the Huns were unable to end any of those empires. The Chinese, Indians, Persians and the Byzantines were able to hold them off and expel them, but the Western Romans somehow survived them only to be ended by Goths a decade or two later. Interestingly Goths were one of the first Germanic communities who came in contact and fled from the Huns, which barreled them into pillaging the Roman Empire.
You could argue the Huns brought down the western roman empire or at least played a big part. They came from the east and forcefully displaced all the other germanic tribes like the goths etc. The goths were forced to move westward into Roman territory which is where their conflict with Rome arose. Eventually it got so bad with Rome that the German tribes went rogue against rome. But none of that happens if the Huns don't push the Goths towards Western Europe.

Hephthalites and Guptas were not enemies people. In fact, the heaththalites were part of the Gupta empire. After defeating sassanids, kushans and Mongolian huns(xiongnu) Gupta kings established a client state in Bactria, which later came to be known as white huns. And all the war between hephthalites & the Gupta empire were actually a part of a civil war which took place between the Gupta princes after the demise of kumargupt.

Emperor Chandragupta Maurya defeated Seleucus Nicator, who to protect His Seleucid Empire, married off His daughter Helena with Emperor Chandragupta Maurya, and Chandragupta Maurya in return gave him 500 well trained war elephants in treaty.

India never recovered from collapse of gupta empire. The last truly hindu empire in indian sub continent. Guptas proudly declared themselves supreme devotees of Vishnu. Thats why they were able to create a true golden age. Not like stupid mauryas who were whatever each king of that dynasty identified with. After gupta age india disintigrated to fuedel dark ages just like everywhere else. But never recovered of the dark ages since the country never could be centralized or urbanized.

I am sure the Gupta empire was an Indo-european empire. Few undeniable characteristics of Indo-european empires as in gupta empire: 1. Strong cavalry - a characteristic shared by almost all central asian and indo-european kingdoms from europe to asia. 2. Cultural mark - From The Guptas to the Persians to somewhat the Mughals to the British , the cultural mark has been a repeating phenomenon of Indo-european presence. ****** Besides that Magadha had always been a strong Mahajanpada - agrarian Indo-european settlements. Infact indo-european settlements should desist from creating large empires, the clue to its destruction lies inside that idea. They had always been mobile agrarian people used to small settlements, the moment they go for grandeur they start sowing the seeds of destruction from within until they are physically destroyed by new indo-european entrants. They usually face biggest threat from within themselves in form of excesses of wealth , excesses of power, oozing self pride, excesses of cultural activities, chauvinistic attitude of population , unnecessary activities galore and sooner or later receives the threat from ,whom? The asian people - in case of Guptas it was the Huns,in case of Persians it was the Mongols, in case of Mughals which was more of an Asian empire than an indo-european one it was the british, in case of The British it was actually the Asian Russians in form of the Bolsheviks but remember in each of these cases cultural and other excesses were very prominent prior to those destructions - In case of the Gupta empire - I would bet there were if closely scrutinised - infact as I had mentioned the fact that it had expanded into a very large territory is itself signs of that potential destruction and then you mention there was internal discontent later on which is very natural outcome of excesses in society. In case of Persians we are all aware of their excesses too. In case of Mughals - same thing. In case of British - same again. And the British extension in America has already gone past that into the realm of decay.

Please stop using word religion when describing an Indian philosophy. Gautam Buddha didn't believe in god ,he even refused soul or material world. He said life is an illusion, better stay away from material desire. It is a philosophy, other hindu(indian) ideas are also philosophy , including the belief of gods. They can be rejected or accepted cuz they are philosophies born out of human mind to answer the question and exploration of both universe and oneself.

@@greatman-k9hHuns were Chinese, there were 4 types of Huns white Huns, red Huns, black Huns and blue Huns. They are particularly white Huns and they were from North West China and russian stepps.
No, the decline of Buddhism began right after the Ashoka, when the Shangu dynasty came into existence and subsequent empires subjugated them.
Their are some historians who states Huns were predominantly Buddhist.
However one thing is a confirmed facts that under white Huns there were 100 buddist monasteries and over 30,000 monks lived their under white Huns rule so I doubt, if there was any conflict to begin with or Huns won't let those monasteries exists.
@@sartajparveen2001 Guptas patronized Buddhist’s also as testified by account of Chinese pilgrims.
@@mikesheth5370 just checked, their is literally only one account from a monk name song yun. The later account states that the capital of the empire had monasteries. Though from multiple accounts it is stated that huns believed in their folk religion and not Buddhism.

Licchavi dynasty is from Nepal and their descendants or successors are the Newar people of Nepal
Nepal shares borders with UP & Bihar so it is quite possible that the Licchavi dominion extended into both Nepal & India.

They were upper caste Hindus. No East Asian dna unlike the Newark.
It is commonly understood that the Mauryan Empire extended well beyond present day Afganistan and into the Middle East. Surprisingly, no mention of this geographical expanse is made in this commentary.

Brother please learn the history clearly. They were from Mourya dynasty. Not Gupta.
@@debapratimmentis when did I say that they were from the Gupta dynasty? Its common knowledge that they were the Maurya dynasty. Nothing new. Except that your spelling of Maurya is wrong.

They didn't defeat Alexander. They defeated a kingdom formed from leftover greek army . Alexander was long gone .

Today More than 50% population of northern India is of hepthalites Huna origin because hepthalites Huns were defeated only in first major battle but invaded almost all of northern india through small regional conflicts following their ethnic expansion east wards into India
Exactly! And people confuse this with "Aryan " !
Its so sad(and funny ) that they are not aware of brutal reason behind them having lighter skin tone (they are obsessed with fair skin)
Aryan were the ones with male Y DNA R1a1 at more than 80% frequency in them and the mother they were born from mt DNA H at more than 80% frequency.
Hepthalites Huns are the ones with male Y DNA R1a1 less than 80% frequency and the mother they are born from having mt DNA M
@@civilizationcenter4298 Am not familiar with the genetics related terms .
Hephthalites and Guptas were not enemies people. In fact, the heaththalites were part of the Gupta empire. After defeating sassanids, kushans and Mongolian huns(xiongnu) Gupta kings established a client state in Bactria, which later came to be known as white huns. And all the war between hephthalites & the Gupta empire were actually a part of a civil war which took place between the Gupta princes after the demise of kumargupt.
I am a Gupta a decedent of the great Gupta rulers of Ancient India
No you're not.Caste system became strict during their rule, with very little upward or downward movement.They were kshatriyas, while you're not - so you don't descent from them.

I call bullshit on that.😂😂
Just because your last name is Gupta doesn't mean you are the king's descendant :)

Lovely art work
Emperor Chandragupta Maurya defeated Seleucus Nicator, who to protect His Seleucid Empire, married off His daughter Helena with Emperor Chandragupta Maurya, and Chandragupta Maurya in return gave him 500 well trained war elephants in treaty. Thus Influence of India grew all over Seleucid Empire ( Which spanned from Persia to Syria and Asia Minor. It opened up the trade between India and the Mediterranean. At the time Central Asia was a playground of Indians and Indian religions like Hinduism and Buddhism. Indian merchants, Philosophers, mendicants and monks were common in entire Mediterranean region.
Prima Facie it appears the myth of jesus was created by early Christians based on Hindu and Buddhist mythologies, because the influence of Mauryan Empire. It is clear that Christianity is developed on Hindu God called Krishna and Buddhist philosophy of non violence and peace.

Genetically yes... People there actually got genes from invaders(they were not nice to women ) . Given the barbaric nature of Hun invasions, its not really surprising North West India look like them

Budhist period was golden period of india
Yes, but it militarily weakend the polity to a point were a handful of melchas invaded and routed them out, did the golden period benefit ???
India never recovered from collapse of gupta empire. The last truly hindu empire in indian sub continent. Guptas proudly declared themselves supreme devotees of Vishnu. Thats why they were able to create a true golden age. Not like stupid mauryas who were whatever each king of that dynasty identified with.
After gupta age india disintigrated to fuedel dark ages just like everywhere else. But never recovered of the dark ages since the country never could be centralized or urbanized. Rural dis intigration is a death sentence for a civilization.
There were rashtrakoota, chola, chalukya, harshavardhan like large empires
No, that's not true, India was fine until the Ghaznavid invasion. There were a couple of failed invasions from the Umayyad Caliphate but like I said, they were driven out.

Basically Huns just claimed that they are kshatriyas (with some fake caste story) and replaced Rajputs(or Royalty) of these NW regions. Just because they claim to be Kshatriya or Rajput doesn't mean they are !
One look at a " Rajput" from NW can easily solve your doubt . They look mlecha and have lighter skin tone as compared to Kshatriyas from any part of India
India was the richest country for most of human history.
Apocalyptic Islamic and British invaders destroyed India.
During Mughal era, India also had a fertile & rich civilization. Because Mughal Emperors permanently settled here & unlike British they did not smuggled India’s wealth to Persia or middle east.

I am sure the Gupta empire was an Indo-european empire.
Few undeniable characteristics of Indo-european empires as in gupta empire:
1. Strong cavalry - a characteristic shared by almost all central asian and indo-european kingdoms from europe to asia.
2. Cultural mark - From The Guptas to the Persians to somewhat the Mughals to the British , the cultural mark has been a repeating phenomenon of Indo-european presence.
******
Besides that Magadha had always been a strong Mahajanpada - agrarian Indo-european settlements.
Infact indo-european settlements should desist from creating large empires, the clue to its destruction lies inside that idea. They had always been mobile agrarian people used to small settlements, the moment they go for grandeur they start sowing the seeds of destruction from within until they are physically destroyed by new indo-european entrants.
They usually face biggest threat from within themselves in form of excesses of wealth , excesses of power, oozing self pride, excesses of cultural activities, chauvinistic attitude of population , unnecessary activities galore and sooner or later receives the threat from ,whom? The asian people - in case of Guptas it was the Huns,in case of Persians it was the Mongols, in case of Mughals which was more of an Asian empire than an indo-european one it was the british, in case of The British it was actually the Asian Russians in form of the Bolsheviks but remember in each of these cases cultural and other excesses were very prominent prior to those destructions - In case of the Gupta empire - I would bet there were if closely scrutinised - infact as I had mentioned the fact that it had expanded into a very large territory is itself signs of that potential destruction and then you mention there was internal discontent later on which is very natural outcome of excesses in society.
In case of Persians we are all aware of their excesses too.
In case of Mughals - same thing.
In case of British - same again.
And the British extension in America has already gone past that into the realm of decay.
“An Indo-European Empire” !, lol…😅

An kingdom or empire that embraces buddhism always gets trampled over because it is such a peace loving religion that its not a suitable religion when jt comes to war and battles.
Please stop using word religion when describing an Indian philosophy. Gautam Buddha didn't believe in god ,he even refused soul or material world. He said life is an illusion, better stay away from material desire.
It is a philosophy, other hindu(indian) ideas are also philosophy , including the belief of gods. They can be rejected or accepted cuz they are philosophies born out of human mind to answer the question and exploration of both universe and oneself.
Yes they were only cause for fall of Gandhar ,North west Bharatvarsh & Tibet . But in east Bramhdesh survived from invaders bcz they settled there eventually & learnt to use tools.
