    ----------
    Witness the rise of the incredible Gupta Empire of India. As the armies of its kings Samudragupta and later Chandragupta II move across South Asia, the empire flourishes, boasting residential universities, monuments, and scholars who make lasting innovations in science and math. Then, like its frequent trade partner the Roman Empire, the Guptas come under the attack of nomadic armies called the Huns. A big thanks to @JayVardhanSingh for offering academic advice and guidance with this one-please check out his channel on Ancient Indian history!

They had won a series of battles against various tribes and kingdoms of Afghanistan but it's not told.

      Bhagvad Gita 4.13 - 'The four categories of occupations were created by Me according to people’s qualities and activities. Although I am the Creator of this system, know Me to be the Non-doer and Eternal.'
      COMMENTARY on Gita 4.13 👇
      The Vedas classify people into four categories of occupations, not according to their birth, but according to their natures. Such varieties of occupations exist in every society. Even in communist nations where equality is the overriding principle, the diversity in human beings cannot be smothered. There are the philosophers who are the communist party think-tanks, there are the military men who protect the country, there are the farmers who engage in agriculture, and there are the factory workers.
      The Vedic philosophy explains this variety in a more scientific manner. It states that the material energy is constituted of three guṇas (modes): sattva guṇa (mode of goodness), rajo guṇa (mode of passion), and tamo guṇa (mode of ignorance). The Brahmins are those who have a preponderance of the mode of goodness. They are predisposed toward teaching and worship. The Kshatriyas are those who have a preponderance of the mode of passion mixed with a smaller amount of the mode of goodness. They are inclined toward administration and management. The Vaishyas are those who possess the mode of passion mixed with some mode of ignorance. Accordingly, they form the business and agricultural class. Then there are the Shudras, who are predominated by the mode of ignorance. They form the working class. This classification was neither meant to be according to birth, nor was it unchangeable. Shree Krishna explains in this verse that the classification of the Varṇāśhram system was according to people’s qualities and activities.
      Although God is the creator of the scheme of the world, yet he is the non-doer. This is similar to the rain. Just as rain water falls equally on the forest, yet from some seeds huge banyan trees sprout, from other seeds beautiful flowers bloom, and from some thorny bushes emerge. The rain, which is impartial, is not answerable for this difference. In the same way, God provides the souls with the energy to act, but they are free in determining what they wish to do with it; God is not responsible for their actions.

    1) Bold enough to unite the warring kingdoms and janapadas of the Gangetic Plain.
    2) Intelligent enough to consolidate his power over the fertile Plain and make people realize that unity is strength.
    3) Merciful enough to not kill his tributary kings.
    4) not power hungry enough to incorporate every territory he crossed.
    5) tolerant of other religions
    6) an excellent military leader
    7) an accomplished poet and musician

    Nalanda University was established during the Gupta Empire era and it held over 9 million books. People used to call this university one of the greatest universities at that time in Asia. Students from different parts of India, Tibet, China, the middle east/Persia (Iran, Iraq), Japan, etc used to come and do a residency at that time. Psychology, Arts, Science, Calculus, Bodha Lipi, Sanskrit, astrology, astronomy, medicine, etc used to teach here and the great library Dharmaganja consisted of three buildings called the Ratnasagara, the Ratnaranjak, and the Ratnodadhi, which alone was nine stories high. It was destroyed and burned much of its facilities at the beginning of the twelfth century by the Islamic invader Bakhtiyar Khilji. The munis/gurus/professors were burned, hanged on the street for days, and killed by this invader at that time. For more below is the reference.

Reason why cows r sacred in india is because Aryans were pastroralists people from steppe grasslands of South Russia or central Asia. Horse and cows were sacred for them.

It was used by ancient Indian kings to prove their imperial sovereignty: a horse accompanied by the king's warriors would be released to wander for a year. In the territory traversed by the horse, any rival could dispute the king's authority by challenging the warriors accompanying it. After one year, if no enemy had managed to kill or capture the horse, the animal would be guided back to the king's capital. It would be then sacrificed, and the king would be declared as an undisputed sovereign.

    Gupta kingdom was based on Emperor and Vassals States system.
    So it was bigger than you showed.

      yes, Gupta Empire covered the entirety of Northern India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Samudragupta also conquered the entire eastern coast up to Kanchipuram but they were not made direct provinces, just vassals. The Guptas also defeated the Kushans and made them vassals, thus making eastern Afghanistan under indirect Gupta rule. The Vakaktaaks of Central India were basically under Gupta control too from Chandragupta II due to his daughter Prabhavatigupta becoming Queen there. The Guptas also had marriage alliances with the Kadambas of Southern Karnataka but they probably didn't have much political influence there.

    Truly, the might of the Indian empires was unbelievable. And no shocking that this was because of the teachings & values of the Sanatan Dharma. With due respect for all religions. But I'm proud to be an Indian and a Sanatani. There are 1000s of more tales, stories and epics originating from the acient India history. They are remarkable and I'd love to collect information on them.
    And lastly, kudos to History Dose. You've done a brilliant job making this video!
